CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW IN
HONESDALE
$500 Plants in Bloom Made Beauti-
full Picture-Many Tropical Trees
Afford Excellent Educational
Adyantnpps

The Maple City green houses at
this place, owned by Marvin, the
florist, of Wilkes-Barre, and which
are under the efficient superintend-
ency of Franklin Walters, are "a
thing of beauty and joy forever"
All lovers of natures variagated
flowers ought to visit the green
house.
Within a week $500 beautiful
chrysanthemums have been in bloom.
Owing to the great demand for these
beautiful flowers the number has
been reduced to 1000 plants, but
they are a picture one should not
miss. The different colors, consist
ing OF cream, purple, yellow and
white mingling with the green
leaves and stems portrays a picture
that cannot be duplicated by man.
The green house is truly natures
garden.
One chrysanthemum was Z in
ches across.
Since superintendent Walters
came to Honesdale, three years ago,
the chrysanthemum benches have
been increased from one to four.
Each bench is 75 feet in length and
during the season has been filled
with chrysanthemums Besides dis
posing of $500 of these beautiful
flowers this season, nearly 10000
carnations have also been sold to
the Honesdale trade; also 10000
tomato plants.
The Maple City green houses sup
ply Wilkes-Barre and other places
with flowers. The house carries the
| better grade of flowers and now has
in stock a larger variety than at any
| time since the green house was es-
| tablished.
The Maple City establishment is a
horticultural garden. Here are
found tropical trees of all kinds
growing. There are fine specimen
Of banana, fig, grape fruit, orange
lemon, Indian rubber and bay trees

paying a visit to the green house anC
see the plant in it's natural growth
superintendent Walters says visitor
are welcome at all times.
Owing to the rapid and increaset
trade, Mr.. Marvin will make an ex
tension of 30x40 feet to the larges
hot house in the spring. The Mapl
City Green House Is one of Homes
y dales growing industries and unde
the management of Mr.. Walters !
