a Fine Establishment at Oakland

One of the things that Western
Maryland is proud of is the garden of
the H. Weber & Sons at Oakland.
These boys were raised in Cumber-
land and have done as much or more
than any other persons in the coun-
try TO develop high grade flowers.
Since the death of Mr.. Weber the
sons have carried on the business,
which he established in most
mendable manner.
The REPUBLICAN is in receipt of a
price list from them for their Christ
mas flowers One thing noted on the
price list is candy, an entirely new
departure, but it is evident from the
statements made by the Weber boys
that this candy is as good as their
flowers which their father and them
selves have sold for a generation.
