CARNATIONS IN LANCASTER 

 COUNTY 



On Thursday, Dec. 16th, five of the 

 faithful took the car for a trip to 

 Strasburg. Stopping at Amos Rohrers 

 we found five others who had made 

 the trip by machine. 



All of the Strasburg growers are 

 carnation men. At Mr. Rohrers we 

 found a fine bench of White Wonder, 

 another of Matchless, good but not 

 quite up to the mark. A bench of 



Belle of Washburn was producing fine 

 flowers but not enough of them to 

 make it a paying winter proposition. 

 Mr. Rohrer considers it gives returns 

 enough taking the whole season 

 through to make it a good one to 

 grow. Mrs. C. W. Ward is the main 

 crop of the place and was in fine con- 

 dition. On the side beds he grows 

 a variety of flowers and plants for 

 local consumption and finds It a good 

 proposition. 



Leaving Rohrers the ten of us piled 

 Into one machine and ran on to J. 

 Wade Galey's. Mr. Galey met us with 

 a rather disappointed look on his face 

 but as we began to tumble out of the 

 machine one after the other it turned 

 to a look of wonder and surprise and 

 the comedy of the situation brought 

 him back to his genial self. Here we 

 found as always carnations in their 

 prime and while the continued cloudy 

 weather had interfered somewhat 

 with production he was cutting what 

 most growers would consider a fine 

 crop. Mr. Galey swears by Beacon for 

 a red and has good reason to do so — 

 practically no seconds and more flow- 

 ers per plant than any other known 

 variety. The star spot of his place 

 was a small section of a bench planted 

 to Laddie, the blooms were as good 

 as any shown at the American Carna- 

 tion Society exhibitions and the 

 fjrowth all that could be asked of a 

 carnation. The production was a little 

 below par but the quality more than 

 made up for that.
