eighteenth floor of the hotel, the first 

 of its kind up there. It is a yellow 

 dinner, arranged for about 140 guests, 

 seated at ten round tables. Five of 

 these tables have centerpieces of a 

 single tall silver vase on each. Each 

 vase contains two dozen fancy yellow 

 chrysanthemums. The centerpieces for 

 the other five tables are low twig handle 

 baskets, also filled with yellow chrysan- 

 themums. 



The wedding is in the cathedral,**a 

 lofty building of great size, impressive 

 in its solemn majesty. The chancel is 

 decorated with palms, ferns and white 

 chrysanthemums. The long aisle is 

 guarded by a dozen tall posts surmount- 

 ed by lighted candelabra garlanded 

 with smilax and ornamented with white 

 chrysanthemums. 



The design is for a leader in marine 

 affairs. It is an anchor of great size 

 upright, on a bed of ferns. It is round 

 and perfect in every detail, the body 

 of small white chrysanthemums and car- 

 nations, the chains of violets. 



These brief sketches are obtained 

 through the courtesy of John P. Haber- 



mehl and of Edward Habermehl, who 

 designed and executed the work. 



F-M's Washington Home. 



A new building has just been com- 

 pleted in the national capital that was 

 ■«reated especially for the selling of cut 

 flowers, plants, greens and ribbons at 

 wholesale. It is a handsome building, 

 worthy in every way of the city and 

 of the business that it represents. It 

 is situated in the shopping district, at 

 1216 H street, which is within easy 

 reach of all the leading retail kstores. 

 This building was erected by nie S. S. 

 Pennock-Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, 

 for two purposes: to develop the florist 

 business in this city and to a^ord bet- 

 ter facilities for shipping to the south. 

 The success of the business in "Wash- 

 ington, established March 1, 1909, at 

 1212 New York avenue, has encour- 

 aged the belief that Washington has a 

 great future as a flower center. Part 

 of the stock received comes from near- 

 by growers, part from a distance. The 

 fact that much time can be saved by 

 florists in the south who desire flowers 



quickly warrants the belief that Wash- 

 ington is the natural base of supplies, 

 for the southern states. 



The impression given by the new 

 building, when first seen from the side- 

 walk of H street, is a pleasant surprise. 

 Mention a wholesale cut flower house 

 and one naturally imagines a place 

 difficult of access, on a back street, or 

 a room in a basement. Here is a mod- 

 ern fireproof building of brick and 

 stone, of attractive architecture; large 

 window, high ceiling, every detail of 

 arrangement carefully planned and 

 executed. The entire ground floor, 

 26x100, is covered by a single room. 

 It is lighted by an immense window 

 in the front that affords an unob- 

 structed view of the interior, by 

 smaller windows in the rear, and by 

 skylights above. The great height of 

 the ceiling increases the impression of 

 space. The floor is of concrete, cov- 

 ered with a more springy preparation 

 that is fireproof. There are tables ''in 

 the center, a large ribboil showcase on 

 one side, an admirably built ice-box,
