WHEELING, V. VA. 



Receptions, parties and other social 

 events have been numerous here during 

 the last few weeks, and some of them 

 have been of such a character as to pro- 

 vide considerable work for the florists. 



Arthur Langhans furnished extensive 

 decorations at the Arion January 28, for 

 the reception and dancing party given by 

 Henry G. Stifel and his sister. Through- 

 out the anteroom, parlors, ball room and 

 balcony the color scheme of green and 

 pink was carried out, principally with 

 smilax, ivy. Killarneys and other pink 

 roses. In the ball room a network ceil- 

 ing was improvised, which was inter- 

 woven with southern smilax and ivy. At 

 intervals were clusters of pink roses, 

 lending a most artistic effect. The large 

 electrolier was entwined with the ivy, and 

 the incandescents were shaded with pink 

 muffs. 



Max Hess supplied the decorations for 

 the Marshall-Eowan wedding at the 

 Dewey home in Echo Point January 27, 

 and his work was sufficiently artistic to 

 accord well with the rare paintings and

Gladiolus America 



A few points of merit 



Color: A beautiful, soft, 

 flesh pink, very ligbi and 

 much like Enchantress 

 Carnation, except slightly 

 tinited with 1 a ve n a e r , 

 wmch gives it the delicate 

 coloring of the most beau- 

 tiful Lselias. Words fall to 

 do justice in describing 

 this grand and glorious 

 color; it must be seen to 

 be appreciated. Pue- 

 POSES: For florists' use, 

 its color makes it every- 

 thing to be desired; deli- 

 cate, attractive and abso- 

 lutely new: no other color

 half so beautiful. It has
