Golden Dome, Yellow Chadwick, and, if 

 well done, Major Bonnaffon. Among the 

 varieties in bloom today, Mr. Craig 

 pointed out Amorita, a shapely pink, 

 introduced by John N. May a few years 

 ago, and Mary Donnellan, a last year's 

 introduction of C. H. Totty's, considered 

 the most pleasing shade of yellow on the 

 market. Mr. Craig has a happy way of 

 receiving his visitors, be they floral lumi- 

 naries, or merely poor newspaper men, 

 which makes each and all of them go 

 away feeling very fine indeed. 



Three or Four Novelties. » 



Phil received the glad hand from Mr. 

 Beyer, of M. Rice & Co., coupled with 

 the suggestion that there were a few 

 novelties upstairs worth seeing. The 

 handsome second story showroom was 

 completely filled with interesting sup- 

 plies. Mr. Beyer selected from among 

 them a beautifully proportioned enameled 

 white willow Beauty vase, tall and grace- 

 ful, with an irregular yet most pleasing 

 shape, difficult to describe. These vases 



are fitted with pans, and are especially 

 adapted for displaying a few fancy 

 blooms to the best advantage. Next 

 came the Porto Bican mats, their number 

 legion, their colors covering the entire 

 solar spectrum, with the darker shades 

 accentuated for the purpose of display- 

 ing to better advantage the bright hues 

 of the flowers. Enameled German tone- 

 ware vases, designed on the accepted 

 loving-cup pattern, with three handles 

 around the bowl, are effective. It is 

 needless to say that all of these novelties 

 come in an endless variety of styles and 

 shapes. Mr. Beyer's selection simply 

 gives an example in each class. 



Curwen of Berwyn. 



Berwyn is the name given a prosperous 

 settlement that has grown around a sta- 

 tion of the same name on the main line 

 of the Pennsylvania railroad. It is a 

 well known fact that everything the 

 Pennsylvania railroad does is well done, 

 and Berwyn is no exception to this rule. 

 The station, the approaches and terraces, 

 the bridge over the tracks, are all first- 

 class, and have evidently attracted a 

 progressive class of business men. A 

 visitor gazing at one of these shops one 

 day this week was met by the legend, 

 "Harness and Shoes," and while he was 

 wondering what induced the proprietor to 

 combine these two industries, the pro- 

 prietor himself came up, shook hands in 

 a most cordial way, and wanted to know 

 what he could do for his newly made 

 acquaintance. The visitor was somewhat 

 startled, as it was out of business hours, 

 but explained that he had been to call 

 in the neighborhood and was not there 

 on business. 



John Curwen has a thrifty establish- 

 ment about half a mile from the town 

 of Berwyn. His home is made beautiful 

 by scarlet geraniums and Vinca alba, a 

 combination rarely seen in full bloom
