-f——;————§—.—4_> o Plan Your Bulb Garden Now. Background of Lilies Makes an Effective Arrangement. Hy’lclnthc, Tulips and Daffodils, With 3 MAKING THE BRIDE’S BOUQUET By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN Many of my readers who live far from the big cities will be surprised to learn thst in New York city some of the big flgrists employ men whose sole business In life is to make bouquets for brides. There has been such an enormous in- crease In the national wealth and so much of it had gravitated toward the chief city of the land that it ha's to find expression in many ways that would niever ogcur to the master of a west- ern or a southern farm. The voderlying reason for the crea- tion of the new occupation of making speclal- grrangements for the bridal bouquét may probably be best ex- plained Yy an inctdent that took place in one of the leading New York hotels, A womay of wealth and fashion had & gown designed in Parls, It was all her own. 8he was cnret\xlly arrayed for her ‘appearance in the dining room. When ~slie reached the - table . sht glanced across the room and spled an- other woman wearing a gown of the same maodel. The wiman swept froni the table in haute. “Whers are you golng?' asked her esrort. “To chynge this uniform,” indignant- 1y replicc the woman of money. That 1Jea is the underlying princl- ple thar makes the speclalist in bridal bouquet:. possible. The rich and so- phisticped people of soclefy want someth ug dilferent, Whether It is o decoration for the table, the arraunge- ment ¢’ a flower-bed In the lawn, or the plaanmg of a costume it wants to hav: some (distinetlve feature that others gave not previously used. That is where the maker of hridal bouquess shines. Men who have a head for such things study the shape, the con positlon and the design of each wedding; bouquet and then' set their heads to planning something of a dif- ferent vype for the next comer. 1t is something like trylng to eat a quail a day for thirty days. No man van ‘unilertake such a task and devote much though: to anything else in a town wpere tle brides average at least one a ¢ay in the class where the cost ‘of flowars 1s absolutely no considera- tion if something -novel can be pro- duced. . ‘Woe ootlde the young man who sondu ov1 a bridal bouquet that one of | the sensuned veterans of soclety can ‘recognlizi- ns being like the one he saw! at a4 previous weddink It must have distinetica. It must be in a class byl ‘ftself, and this demand has created a \field for wnen who can think and who idevise povel arrangements of flowers - out as southern Missourl. opment along the Pacific coast. to be carried by the procession of brides that marches each season through the society columns of New York, PRODUCING BERRY HOLLIES The berry-producing hollies are di- vided into two specles—the Opaca and the Aquifolium, The first thrives along the coast woodlands from New Eng- land down to New Jersey and as far The second is a favorite of the English gardens, and it finds its best American devel- ‘Some of the hollies are perfect, bear- ing both the male and female parts— the pistils and the stamens—while in many trees only one element is«pres- ent. Most of the trees that are avail- able do not have the double charac- teristic and it is necessary to plant one staminate tree ‘among several pistil- lates, The Aquifolium is regnrded as the superior type where it cai be grown handily. PUSCHKINIA LITTLE KNOWN It ts surprising how little known is the puschkinia among the bulb plants that are worth while, It Is a very charming flower and is worth a place in any garden. It Is one of the very cheapest of the bulb family. The bulbs only cost about one cent each, When once placed they produce beau- tiful splkes of flowers each spring. The spikes rarely grow more than half a dozen inches high, but each of them will produce from 15 to 30 flowers, and they are lasting, The bulbs gre planted at the same time and in the same, way as other members of the bulb tribe, being set about three inches apart, DRESSING THE TABLE At all of the lateat flo“er shows of the first magnitude prizes have been awarded for the best dressed tables. The idea is to impress upon the publi¢ the part that flowers and plants may play In adding some psychological ef- fect to the routine matter of eating. The most ordinary food, served with some garnishment of flowers, takes on an added zest and the big flower shows hm‘e gought to develop taste and in- terest in making the table something more than a place to put food, The first prize table at one of the most Im- portant shows had a centerpiece of flowers, with - inaividual stands for each guest, The harmony of the floral ofterings undoubtedly won the prize for the suc- cessful exbibitor, 4 . | | ; | O ,,g_“_»—wwwwmwwww TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 24, 1918 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER I BUSINESS & PROFESSIONAL DOCTORS Ugly or 1ll-Kept Houut Do Much to Retard the Development of 5 Any Community.

It “has always “seemed ‘to me that Dr. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., shouid be placed near the top when a.list of America’s great benefactors is written. He studied and conquered human dis- easés to a degree that -few realize. Whenever he found a remedy that over- came disease, he at once announced it in the newspapers and told where. it could be bought at a small price.. He did not follow the usunal cnstom of keeping the ingredients secret, so that the rich only could afford to buy the medicine, but openly printed the name of each root and herb he used. ' And 80 to-day the names of Dr. Pierce and his medicines are widely known, and they stand for better health and' better citizenship. One of . this great physician’s most successful remedies is known as Doctor Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. These are little, sugar-coated pills, composed of Mayapple, leaves of aloe, root of jalap— things that Nature grows in the ground. These Pellets ure safe because they move the bowels gently, leaving no bad after-effects, as so many pills do. Very often they make a person who takes them feel like a new man or woman, for they cleanse the intéstines of hard, decayed and poisonous matter that accumulates when one is costive. If you are constipated, by all means go to your druggist and get some of Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. They may prove to be the very thing your syStem requires to make you well and bappy.
