Of these recepIacles for the growing
plants are quite elaborate affairs and
beautifully decorated. They are
mounted on tripods of bamboo, paint
ed in rich designs; and. when crowned
with the growing plant in full bloom,
have an exceedingly handsome and
decorative effect.
For table decoration few flowers are
more appropriate and beautiful than
growing jonquils and violets in full
blossom. The plants are potted in sill
yer and Bohemian glass or in pretty
basketwork cases. A suitable decor
alton for an Easter dinner would be a
mirror lake in the center of the table,
with a boat loaded with blooming vio-
lets riding on it's surface and shores
bordered with ferns and the foliage
and bloom of small-petaled flowers.
The young man who would send his
lady love an Easter floral Offering tnls
his pocket for an abundance of cash,
il he is ambitious to utilize all the
magnificence the florist can place at
his disposal. 70 begin with the flow
ers and their accessories will cost
much money; and then will come the
delivery, which is really very grand
and imposing affair, likewise costing
very much more money. The fashion
able florists delivery cart of today is
a magnificent equipage, with q coach
man and footman in royal sables oc-
cupying the box, and drawn by costly
well-groomed horses in harnesses of
enameled violet leather with gold and
silver mountings.
Yes, all this will come high; but it
is all very fine and proper and doubt
less will make a very deep impression
on the heart of My Lady Disdain. And
vet, a little bunch of violets, fresh
from the hands of the giver, can con-
vey as tender message or tell of love
as abiding or friendship as faithful
to lady love or friend; and so the very
poor as we'll as the very rich can give
and receive the blessings of the happy
Easter time. Not the costlinss of
the gift. but the affection of the giyer,
makes its value.
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1899-03-30

time This lily, especially fitted for
altar decorations, takes mos. kindly to
the soil and climate of Bermuda
where millions of the bulbs are grown
annually and shipped to this and
other countries. The bulbs are pur-
chased by the florists, and planted in
their hot houses about month be-
fore Easter, SO as to be in full bloom
by the holiday. Should the blossoms
show signs of opening too soon, the
plants are placed on their sides; and
the growth thus retarded until the
proper time arrives. The Easter lily
improves with the age of the plant.
The bulbs should be at least two years
old, though some dealers prefer to
wait until their fourth year, when
they are hardy enough to produce
beautiful flowers, even with careless
treatment.
