ost glass bottles identified the contents inside with embossed letters on the container or a paper label. But a special group, usually apothecary bottles or special gifts, were made with “labels under glass.”

The medical bottles usually had a label with a black name written in a fancy type style, gold leaf trim, plus a solid glass cover for the label. It was made to fit into a shaped indent on the side of the bottle, making a smooth bottle with a protected label.

There also were bottles with labels under glass made with color pictures of attractive women, season’s greetings or other messages used for gifts, or barber product containers displayed in barber shops.

They were made from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s.

Decorative “back bar” bottles were often whiskey bottles refilled with colored water when the whiskey was sold. They were probably made before Prohibition.

A small, round flask with a label under glass picturing a girl was in the recent sale by Glass Works Auctions in East Greenville, Pennsylvania; it was made at the end of the 19th century and sold for $468.

Enjoy some tasty information on Clementines

H

OW SWEET CLEMentine is this time of year, and looking so pretty nestled in small wooden crates.

How nice, also, that these tangerines have no seeds to interrupt bites into the juicy, sweet segments. But hold on a second here: If there are no seeds, how do you make a Clementine tree? Or a seedless Navel orange tree?

Or a tree of any other seedless fruit?

You make a new tree of any seedless fruit in just the same way that you make a new tree of any other fruit — by cloning.

If “cloning� sounds too Orwellian, then say “by grafting� or “by cuttings,� which are the particular methods of cloning used for most fruit trees.

Cloning is the way to create a new plant that is genetically identical to its mother plant.

Like another McIntosh apple tree, another Concord grape vine, or another Clementine tangerine tree. You take a piece of stem from any of these varieties, and either graft the stem onto an existing plant or induce the stem to form its own roots.

The resulting plant — or the part of it above the graft in the case of the grafted plant — is then genetically identical to the mother plant.

If, on the other hand, you were to plant a seed from any of the above fruits, the resulting plant would yield fruits

Lack of seeds in Clementine fruit beg the question of how the first Clementine originated and how do you make new plants.

of the ceiling, she says. “It makes the ceiling feel like it’s going away,â€? Baker says. • Use mirrors, reflective items You don’t want your space to feel like a fun house, but mirrors and wall decor with brass or metal accents will help bounce light around the room and will create the illusion of a lighter space.

In rooms with only one or two small windows, Shakoor suggests hanging a mirror on the wall opposite the window. Barney likes to cluster several small mirrors together or include them in gallery walls.

Window treatments are an easy way to apply this idea: “Fabric with sheen will reflect light and feel less weighty,� Shakoor says.

Just don’t pick anything too heavy, because it will block light. She likes cream, ivory, pale gray and rose.

White works well here, too; it filters sunlight inside and creates a glowing effect. • Add some greenery “Coming in and seeing a bright pop of life creates a good environment and adds visual texture,â€? says Janine Dowling, founder of Boston-based Janine Dowling Interior Design.

She suggests buying several small bouquets (she enjoys the selection and prices at Trader Joe’s) and spreading them around the areas of your home where you spend the most time. “Big Gerbera daisies are the happiest flowers I’ve ever seen,� she says. She also likes fiddle-leaf fig trees because they’re low-maintenance and do well in indirect light. “The big leaves have a lot of texture and would look great in a pretty pot with moss,� she says.

And don’t think you need a dwarf tree because you live in a small space; Shakoor suggests picking a tree that stops about 4 inches below the ceiling to create drama.

Blue new year Gardeners can get in sync with a classic Color of the Year

By Norman Winter

Tribune News Service

The new year will be rockin’ thanks to Proven Winners’ introduction of the Salvia Rockin’ Blue Suede Shoes. Not only will this salvia bring in the hummingbirds, bees and butterflies all summer, but it will be trending with the celebration of 2020 Pantone Color of the Year “Classic Blue.”

Although there are online sites asking as much as $135,000 for the “first edition,” a First Edition Princess Diana bear stuffed with polyvinylchloride (PVC) is listed on Amazon for $39; a bear with polyethylene pellets (PE) for $22.

Q. I bought a “personal

wash set,” four pieces consisting of a chamber pot, pitcher and two smaller pieces. On the bottom they’re marked “Admiral V.P. Co.” I’ve searched online and can’t find any information on the company

or item. It’s a pretty floral pattern, purple flowers on a white background, and is in very good shape. The seller thought the piece was made in the 1800s.

Can you tell me anything about this set?

A.

Wash sets were used in the late 18th and early 19th centuries before indoor plumbing became common.

A washstand, usually in the bedroom, held the items necessary to “wash up.” The pitcher was used to fill a washbasin or bowl. The chamber pot usually had a lid. Other pieces could include a soap dish, hair receiver, toothbrush holder and slop jar.

This mark was used by Vodrey Pottery Company of East Liverpool, Ohio. The company made white gran-

To be exact, Classic Blue is Pantone 19-4052, for those wanting to be in vogue by painting the master bedroom or living room or tweak the wardrobe.

In the gardening world, I look at the Pantone Colors of the Year with the proverbial “chip card.”

Chip cards are what everyone gets at the paint store where the top of the card has Classic Blue and as you glance downward it takes you through the various related shades.

Q. My mother bought

A.

The Geo. Zoltan Lefton Company was founded in 1941 by George Lefton (1906-1996), a Hungarian immigrant who was a sportswear designer and porcelain collector.

He came to the United

States in 1939 and founded his import company two years later. Pottery, porcelain, glass and other wares were imported from Japan, and later from Taiwan and Malaysia. The company was sold in 2001.

Lefton figurines are selling for low prices, $12 to $50.

Blue CONTINUED FROM PAGE F6

When it comes to flowers, it would be near impossible to be exact on Pantone 19-4052.

Blue is one of the colors that catches your eye when used in the garden and is a color we all treasure.

But the word “blue” itself can cause confusion and invoke several different feelings or thoughts because it carries a lot of meanings in the English culture and language.

Friends are true blue or perhaps you are feeling blue.

What we do know is that most of us want some blue in our gardens. It is the ultimate cool color — and I don’t mean “in vogue” either.

Blue is unique in that if you give it a hint of another color, you still have a shade of blue.

Oddly, these blue shades work harmoniously with each other.

So, while Pantone and its color gurus set the new trend, know that the garden world wants to be a participant and join the Classic Blue celebration.

Proven Winners is fully on board, developing promotional pieces showcasing its extraordinary blue flowers.

In all, a baker’s dozen of tried and true, award-winning blue flowers for gardeners are available to use in creating dazzling designs.

Catalina Midnight Blue (torenia or wishbone flower) and Blue My Mind (evolvulus) are two more outstanding choices in the baker’s dozen. Both have won awards from Texas to Michigan and Georgia to Minnesota.

Catalina Midnight Blue is a deep blue, true-blue, while Blue My Mind offers olive grey-green foliage that sports icy blue blooms.

Remember that blue works with any other color in the garden. Its opposite is orange, which may be the most wonderful marriage in gardening.

Last year’s Pantone Color of the Year, “Living Coral,” also creates a take-your-breathaway partnership with blue.

Lastly, put your favorite blue with red and you have the beginning of a patriotic garden. Make plans now and let Pantone Classic Blue be the inspiration in planting this spring.

Best household products of 2019

By Lindsey M. Roberts

The Washington Post

Who would you go to for toothbrush recommendations? A dentist, of course.

What about a great file cabinet? A professional organizer.

At least, that’s what we would do, if we wanted to spend our hard-earned money on a household product that works well, looks good and lasts.

During 2019, experts pointed us to dozens of great products worth your coin. Here are our favorites.

to his patients. “It has soft bristles that clean under the gum line,” he says.

The best space heaters At True Value, the top-performing space heaters meet consumers’ three most-important requests, says Tory Tesdal, senior product merchant: They have tip-over switches, overheat protection and a dial to easily adjust temperature. “Ease of use” is what matters, Tesdal says.

make the difference between watering feeling like a chore and watering feeling a bit like meditation,” she says.

The best file cabinets Poppin’s 3-Drawer File Cabinet comes in several colors, so you can choose a neutral to blend in or a colorful one that stands out ($249, poppin.com). “I don’t think anyone could go wrong with this gray-and-white combo, but I also love the beautiful aqua color it comes in,” says Rachel Rosenthal, owner of organizing firm Rachel and Co. in Washington, D.C. “We’ve put these in tons of different spaces.”

The best shower heads Moen’s Magnetix has “the appeal of a fixed shower head, but it rests there on a magnet,” says Melissa Haas, project designer at Case Design Remodeling in Charlotte ($69.99, bedbathandbeyond.com). “You can pull off the shower head and use it as a hand shower, whether you’re cleaning the tile, rinsing your feet off or cleaning the dog.” She adds that “it’s really popular in a hall bathroom or a kids’ bath setup, where you don’t need this luxury-spa setup - you just need an all-in-one sort of thing.” It comes in chrome and brushed nickel.

The best coolers If you think you can’t bring ice cream camping, think again. Tyler Malek, head ice cream maker and co-founder

of scoop shop Salt & Straw in Portland, Ore., and author of an ice cream cookbook, likes to pack it up in the Coleman Steel-Belted Portable Cooler ($79.30-$166.66 for 54-quart cooler, amazon.com). The retro-looking steel is rust-resistant and the handles have comfort grips.

The best beach accessories Frequent road-tripper and author of the book “The Best Coast: A Road Trip Atlas: Illustrated Adventures Along the West Coast’s Historic Highways,” Chandler O’Leary of Tacoma, Wash., is often sketching at the beach.

She keeps her sketchbooks in a Matador Droplet Wet Bag ($14.99, matadorup. com). “It’s super handy and stuffs down into a teeny tiny case that can hang on my key ring when I’m not using it,” she says. She also keeps her phone, camera and anything else she wants dry in the bag.

The best dining tables “People have this romantic idea of hosting a 12-person dinner,” says Kaitlyn Payne, founding principal of Basicspace in Brooklyn. But her clients in New York City, especially those without a dining room, generally end up with a table that seats “six to eight people, max.” A fan of Ikea, Payne likes the Ekedalen extendable table for seating six ($299, ikea.com). Storing the leaf inside the table means it doesn’t have to be squeezed into a coat closet.

Record CONTINUED FROM PAGE F11

trading in the deal was the former home of President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, which sits behind the main estate.

The price surpasses Formula One heiress Petra Ecclestone’s $119.75 million sale this year of the Manor, a 56,500-square-foot chateau in Holmby Hills.

Designed by architect Sumner Spaulding, the limestone-clad estate includes such Gatsby-esque features as a ballroom, scaled formal rooms and a vaulted foyer. The custom wine vault can hold 12,000 bottles. There’s also a paneled dining room.

Perenchio, who died in 2017 at 86, acquired the main estate and three contiguous parcels in the 1980s.

Under his direction, the main residence was enhanced and restored by designer Henri Samuel and architect Pierre Barbe.

Obscured from the street by walls and hedges, the grounds contain manicured gardens, elaborate fountain features, a tennis court, a 75-foot swimming pool and a pool house. A separate guesthouse was designed by noted architect Wallace Neff.

Since his death, Perenchio’s estate has listed and sold a number of properties, including large holdings in Malibu. Across from Chartwell, a vacant property Perenchio used as a private vineyard sold in November for $12 million.

How nice, also, that these tangerines have no seeds to interrupt bites into the juicy, sweet segments. But hold on a second here: If there are no seeds, how do you make a Clementine tree? Or a seedless Navel orange tree? Or a tree of any other seedless fruit? entines.

Crunch. I just bit into a seed in this supposedly seedless Clementine.

Yes, seeds do occasionally appear, the result of pollen from a different variety of tangerine making its way to a

Clementine flower.

Clementine is seedless only if grown in isolation. Don’t you be tempted to plant any of these seeds, though, because if the seedlings were to bear fruits, they would not, of course, be Clementines.
