WEDDING BELLS.

WEDDING BELLS.
On Wednesday evening, Dec. 6, the
home of Mrs. Jacob W. Carroll was the
scene of very pretty wedding, when her
daughter Grace was united in marriage to
Roderick P. Clark. Rev. j. A. Lawrence,
the officiating minister, used the ring SER
vice.
The large parlor was tastefully trimmed
with evergreens, ferns and blooming
plants. The bride was becomingly dressed
in white silk muslin, and was attended by
Miss Flora Gilley, also in white as brides
maid. Lloyd Carroll, brother of the
bride, was best man.
Only the immediate family circles wit
messed the sacred contract, but these rela-
tives were numerous enough to comfort
ably fill the parlor. The little maij-of-
honor, Miss Winifred Carroll, fitted
about like a winsome fairy, happy in
.'helping Aunt Grace get married.. Many
beautiful presents were in evidence.
A dainty wedding luncheon was served,
after which the bridal pair, receiving the
congratulations of their friends, entered a
carriage amid a shower of rice, and were
conveyed 10 the pretty home awaiting their
reception. Here they were happily sur
prised to find that neighbors had invaded
the cottage, Hospitality lighting and
warming the house, bringing presents and
scattering rice with lavish hand.
Southwest Harbor friends rejoice that
this fine young couple are to begin their
housekeeping here, for both are prime
favorites, loyal members of the Congrega-
tional church and Y. P. s. G. E., also Y
society. Miss Carroll Mrs. Clark,
has been its influential president for two
years, ever ready to lend a helping hand
in righteous cause.
Mr.. Clark, faithful clerk and assist
ant express agent in the store of Henry
Clark, is held in high esteem in both busi-
ness and social relations.
The bridal trip which had been planned
will be deferred to warmer season, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark will be at home TO
their friends in the Edwin Clark cottage.

Unique Forcing.

That the direct action Of fire heat can
have any effect in Fastening the bloom
Ing Of plants Is fresh suggestion, but
one that In these days, when flowers
are demanded In season. out Of season.
at all times and of every kind and
country, Is worth consideration. This
comment arises from an incident noted
In Chambers Journal. A fire broke
out last September in Chausee-sur-
Marne, in France, making a clean
sweep Of nearly everything on one side
of the village, including most Of a
hedge Of apple and pear trees located
between the homesteads and the open
country. Some of the boughs farthest
from the fire escaped unhurt, and a
curious phenomenon ensued. A second
Towering commenced at once, and by
the end Of October all the trees far
thest from the scene of the fire were in
full bloom, as though called to renewed
life. A large lilac tree, as well as some
plum trees, put on once more its bridal
robes.
It must be mentioned that the fire
only lasted four hours There was no
resemblance between this sudden blast
OF heat and the ordinary gradual fore
Ing to which plants are submitted.
The plants affected by the experience
were those whose buds were already
formed for the following season.

EASTER FLOWERS.
B1OssOming Plants In POts-NOveI-
ties Meet With Favor.


ties Meet With Favor.
For the Easter trade the general pub
lie seems to be seeking living plants in
pots more and more each year The
tendency is toward woody plants Of
which, naturally, the Indian azalea is
the leader Cut flowers are Of course
In demand, but the feeling for the en-
tire plant is very pronounced. The
Easter lily, so called, is no longer the
one high symbol of the spring festival.
There is a commendable interest In
greater variety and occasional novel
ties find ready purchasers. The new
hydrangea, Hortensis roesa, which was
seen for the first time last year, was
quickly accepted, and if that judgment
goes for aught it should prove one Of
the favored new things of this Easter
tide
An Old Time Favorite to the Fore.
The camellia wherever it was offered
was another favorite last season, and
new interest may be looked for in
this one time popular flower. Made up
In tubs, with its own green and per-
haps mere setting of something very
low around the edge, the camellia
makes very decorative subject.
Orchids and Large Plants.
Orchids, chiefly cattleyas and dem
drobiums, sell well and u fairly large
pieces. Boronia heterol lila, with its
rich crimson flowers, is in moderate
demand. Large plants of azalea and
Of bougainvillea eight to ten feet high,
genistas (cytisus), may be considered
standard Easter favorites. The tall
growing Cineraria stellata seems to
have eclipsed the old style, compact
headed, low growing florists type.
The Rambler Roses.
While roses are not SO numerous as
other plants, the Crimson Rambler
still occupies a place at this season,
and it seems probable that some of the
more decorative American Rambler
hybrids may bear it company when
they become more generally known.
The Outlook For the Flower Grower.
The public is becoming more dis
corning and more discriminating and
the successful grower in the near fu-
ture will be in all likelihood not he
who follows the beaten track, but
rather he who studies the market to
find out what it has not got.
