MANY GREENS SOLD
BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Roses Are Favorites of Cut Flow
ers; No Increase in Prices;
Demand For Novelties
Moss Christmas trees about eight
inches high, and basket vases filled
with cut flowers are two of the Yule
tide novelties being shown by Harris
burg florists.
The amount of all kinds of greens
sold this year during Christmas season
is more than that of last or the pre
ceding year, according to several
dealers. There is a largo supply of
every kind of Christmas greens that
purchasers could want. Among the
potted plants the polnsettiaa. begonias
and holly trees are the favorites. Red
llowers of every kind, particularly
WEDNESDAY EVENING, ' HARRISBUKG TELEGRAPH DECEMBER 23, 1914
roses, are the choice of the people
who want cut varieties.
The moss Christmas trees in little
earthen pots are made of large pieces
of moss, bound together to resemble a
tree. The novelty will keep green all
winter. The prices of all these decora
tions have not Increased and are about
the same as the prices of preceding
years.
Pine trees that are shipped here
cost from seventy-five cents to four
dollars, for the large and finest speci
mens. Holly trees range from eight
to ten dollars. These are imported
from England. Seventy-five cents is
the lowest price for a begonia, and
polnsettlas may be had for one dollar.
Holly and mistletoe wreaths are on
sale in the streets, the former from
ten cents up. Some large wreaths of
the best holly are selling for thirty and
thirty-five cents.
Basket vases retail from $1.25 up.
the majority of them sell at two dol
lars when filled with cut and prepared
flowers. Cut flowers, such as roses
and carnations range In price from
$1.50 to a dozen for the best
grades.
Many of these come from the large
wholesale houses in Philadelphia, and
any amount can be obtained by the
Harrisburg dealers to supply the de
mands. Koses and carnations are sold
most to people who desire cut flowers.
Many other Mowers and plants are
on sale, but the old-fashioned Christ
inas greens are the favorites of most
of the people. dealers said that
they were well pleased with the fine
grade of holly and trees shipped to
this city and that this year's supply
was ono of the best that they have
ever offered to the public. Trees from
this vicinity arejnuch better this year
according to the retailers and cost
about twenty-five cents.
Harry Von Tilzer Upsets
All Theatrical Precedents
The announcement of the return to
the Majestic for two performances on
Saturday, January 2, of "To-day," the
much discussed drama of contem
porary New York life, with Edmond
Breese and a company which sup
ported him in New York and during
the long runs "To-day" enjoyed in
Boston and Philadelphia, calls atten
tion to a situation unique in Ilarrls
burg theatricals.
Heretofore It has been the custom
of the purveyors of theatrical attrac
tions first to send here the "star," or
"No. 1," company, as the case might
be, leaving the return
to be played by the No. 2, 3 or 4 or
ganizations. In tliis instance the con
' trary is the ease.
It remained for Harry von Tilzer,
long known to fame as a man who put
: the muse in music and who directs the
> tours of the various "To-day" com
' panies, to upset the usual order of
' things. In sending Mr. Breese to Hur
! rlsburg in a play which already has
i been seen here Mr. von Tilzer is break
' In*,' managerial precedent of many
. seasons' standing and local theater
goers will benefit thereby.—Advertise

Bowman's Perfect Its
Profit-sharing Plan; to
Close Tomorrow at 6
For some months Bowman & Co.
have been trying out the profit-shar
ing plan among their employes. The
experiment has proved so successful
that the firm has recently put into
effect for another year a more per
fected plan along the same lines that
will have wider scope-and afford more
benefits than before.
One-member of the firm to-day said:
"During the first year the idea was
carried on in an experimental way. It
was new and naturally there were lit
tle kinks In the system that developed
from time to time, but these have all
, been overcome, and been valuable in
j helping us to perfect the plan. On
■ the whole, however, the Idea has
; proved so successful that we are con
tinuing it for the coming year along
still wider lines, which we believe will
mean more to employes and firm than
ever."
Another feature of the Bowman
store which was inaugurated last year,
that of closing the store on Christmas
eve, will again be observed this year,
the store closing to-morrow evening
at 6 o'clock.
