THE IMPORT HOUSE 



a batch of Mrs. Ward grown inside all 

 summer were not as good as those 

 brought in from the field. Usually it 

 is the other way round. On the side 

 beds were Freesia and Godfrey lilies. 



This is the only place in the country 

 where roses are grown as a shipping 

 proposition and they are well grown, 

 Kaiserin and White Killarney as a 

 summer blooming proposition, with 

 Ophelia and Columbia as winter 

 bloomers. The area devoted to roses 

 will be gradually increased and I pre- 

 dict that eventually the place will 

 grow nothing but roses. 



Mr. Girvin is one of Lancaster's 

 model farmers and the acreage of 

 crops, tobacco and cereals runs into 

 the three figures. Instead of running 

 a dairy he feeds a bunch of steers 

 each winter and thus gets plenty of 

 good feeding material for his roses, 

 the roses are fat and healthy all win- 

 ter and by spring the steers are a pic- 

 ture for lovers of good stock. 



The meeting was called at 7.30 on 

 the porch. After the regular routine of 

 business the first matter taken up was 

 a proposed trip to the Dahlia Show at 

 Vincent's, White Marsh, Md. Those 

 having machines were asked to invite 

 their more unfortunate fellows along 

 with them and all to meet at the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce rooms in Lancaster 



at 7 A. M. sharp, from which point the 

 run will be made and it was an- 

 nounced on a card being sent out that 

 there would be no waiting even for 

 five minutes for anyone not on hand 

 at that time. 



Convention matters were discussed 

 by Messrs. Harry K. Rohrer, Ira Lan- 

 dis and the writer, everyone praising 

 the convention and condemning the 

 hotel of magnificent promises and 

 broken pledges. 



Mr. B. M. Wise of the Excello Mfg. 

 Co., Cleveland, Ohio, was the one 

 visitor and gave a very pressing invi- 

 tation to the members to come to 

 Cleveland next summer, assuring us 

 of good hotels and plenty of diversion 

 along with our business propositions. 



Flower show matters were dis- 

 cussed and it was decided that we 

 would not attempt anything along this 

 line for Presidential year, as former 

 experience taught us that it was a bad 

 year for shows. 



President Weaver spoke of a trip to 

 Allentown, which he found more of a 

 flower loving city than Lancaster, but 

 most of the flowers were Asters. One 

 feature that attracted him was the 

 floral basins erected around each 

 light standard of the city and planted 

 and taken care of by the park men. 

 He thought we ought to get busy and 



try and have this worked out in Lan- 

 caster. 



Mr. Robert Pyle of West Grove has 

 invited the Club to make one of their 

 fall or winter automobile runs to the 

 Conard & Jones place when he will 

 have some of the Chester County men 

 to meet with us and have a regular 

 visitation over the country. This will 

 be taken up at the next meeting of 

 the Club, which will be at the Chamber 

 of Commerce Rooms. Oct. 16th, and 

 take the form of a social.

DO YOU ADVERTISE? 

 It may be that you are not a regular 

 advertiser in Horticulture, but that 

 you would profit by being an occa- 

 sional advertiser. It cflcn happens 

 that a grower has a few superfluous 

 seedlings, cuttings or young plants for 

 which he would like to find a market. 

 It is quite probable that someone, 

 somewhere, may be looking for just 

 that kind of material. Horticulture 

 is the right medium for bringing to- 

 gether the two people who would be 

 interested in such a deal. Our rates 

 are so moderate that no one has an 

 excuse on that account for not adver- 

 tising. Why not try out the plan even 

 in a small way now?
