Shamokin, Fa. 



The missionary work accomplished by 

 our city retaileris has a striking illustra- 

 tion in a notable wedding in Shamokin 

 recently, when Senator McConnell's 

 daughter was the bride. Senator Mc- 

 Connell is best known in this city as a 

 member of the Catlin investigating com- 

 mittee, which has been investigating 

 our municipal affairs. In fact, Senator 

 McConnell was the only member, be- 

 sides the chairman, who was faithful 

 in attending the meetings. The chrys- 

 anthemum season was at its height 

 when the wedding occurred. The father 

 of the bride, impressed, doubtless, by 

 the artistic displays of the Philadel- 

 phia retailers, decided to give Shamokin 



a surprise. He gave Stahl 's Greenhouses 

 the order. Balthasar Stahl acted as 

 decorator-in-chief, while two leading 

 Shamokin florists, Harris & Bro. and H. 

 P. Campbell, acted as his lieutenants. 

 The efl:ect was beautiful and Shamokin 

 is still talking of the handsome chrysan- 

 themum and foliage plants and their 

 arrangement. 



Ancient Egyptian Ware. 



A new pottery, now quite abundant, 

 distinct from all other potteries in 

 style and finish, ornamented with fig- 

 ures suggestive of the dwellers in the 

 land of the pyramids and the Nile, col- 

 ored in many rich oriental hues, em- 

 bellished with cord and tassels to match 

 — this is Egyptian ware. But you say, 



' ' Must we go to Cairo for these curious 

 vases?" Not at all. Mr. Bayefsdorfer 

 has secured the exclusive privilege in 

 this country. I have not a doubt he 

 will let you have some of them. 



The Palm in the House. 



Charles B. Stahl carries into success- 

 ful practice an idea which, while not 

 new, is interesting, Mr. Stahl finds that 

 a majority of the plants rented by the 

 month are unsatisfactory to the cus- 

 tomer and unprofitable to the florist 

 because of the injury done to the plants 

 through lack of care. They soon look 

 badly and return in such bad condition 

 as to render them useless for further 

 service. Mr. Stahl 's plan is to change 

 the plant each week, looking after them
