When our youngest daughter,
Cindy, and her husband were at
our home over Christmas, they
took Allen and I to Hermansader’s
Galleries in Lancaster. Here were
hundreds and hundreds of prints
of Lancaster County landmarks.
She bought several and had them
shipped to her home in Texas.
The pictures brought back
many memories of years, gone by.
When I saw the red brick Central
Market House on the square in
Lancaster, I remembered the
Tuesdays when my Grandfather
Shreiner and my Aunt Mary took
me along to market. In preparation
for the ' to market, I was allow-

ed to go to a pasture some distance
from my home ahd pick flowers.
They were similar to snapdragons
but- they were all a pale pink.
These I sold for ten cents a bunch.
And, then I begged fo go across
the street to the 5 & 10 cent store
and spend my money. Another girl
my age went with me but I’ve nev
er met this person since that time
although I believe she lives in the
county. When one marries and
names change it is hard to locate a
person.
My aunt sold many flowers and
she cut the gladiolus the night be

stone crocks in their summer-

house. My Grandmother dressed
chickens and eggs were also sold.
A tall three-legged stool was
chained to the market stand for my
Grandfather to sit on during the
day.
Anyway, the print of the market
brought back so many nice me
mories and so I bought it. Even
though it is large, Allen made a
frame for it He used wood from
our tall pine tree that came crash
ing down on our smokehouse last
year during a storm. He finished it
so that it matches my kitchen cab
inets. One of his Christmas gifts
was a clamp to make picture
frames up to four feet long.
A Standard, or judged, flower
show is being staged by District
IV of the Garden Club Federation
of Pennsylvania and promises to
be a major event District IV is
comprised of 16 garden clubs in
six counties. The state organiza
tion has approved the show which
also meets national criteria for
acctediation. Judging will be per
formed by accredited judges.
According to flower show
chairperson Audrey Thompson,
“tiiis is the largest show we’ve
ever staged in this area.” More
than 70 different classes for
entrants have been approved. The
show will include both design and
horticultural classes. The show
will use nearly 8,000 square feet
of exhibit space. Many of the clas
ses will be “staged in unique set
tings that can only be accom
plished in a large show,” said
Thompson.
