lANCASTER, PA. 



Eight Reading, Pa., florists honored 

 the Lancaster County Florists' Associa- 

 tion with their presence Thursday, 

 March 15. They arrived at 11 a. m. and 

 were met by Elmer J. Weaver, Albert 

 M. Herr and H. K. Rohrer. At 11:45 

 a. m. the visitors and club members went 

 to Christiana and called on Maurice J. 

 Brinton. Carnations are grown exten- 

 sively at the Brenton place. Much bulb- 

 ous stock also is grown. A planting of 

 50,000 Spanish irises, showing buds, was 

 fine. Some exceptional Emperor daffo- 

 dils were noted. In the everyday pro- 

 duction of lilies for the wholesale mar- 

 ket, Mr. Brinton 's establishment ranks 

 with the best in the country. A large, 

 new Lord & Burnham Co. house for lily 

 growing was inspected, after which Mr. 

 Brinton entertained the party at a near- 

 by restaurant. 



Our next call was on Charles M. and 

 Elmer J. Weaver. At the former's 

 establishment sweet peas are all aglow, 

 with vines fifteen feet in height. Three 

 houses, 40x300, are planted to them. 

 Preparations were being made to set out 

 an extensive planting of asters. 



At Elmer J. Weaver's, peas, carna- 

 tions and calendulas are the principals. 

 The peas are most vigorous, the calen- 

 dulas almost cut out and carnations in 

 full croj). Mr. Weaver's own seeilling, 

 white, of which several beds are planted, 

 is a free-flowering, strong stemmed ar- 

 riety. Next season Benora and Pink De- 

 light will lead the procession here. 



The B. F. Barr & Co range was next 

 visited. There much potted Easter stock 

 is coming along nicely. The houses of 

 mixed stock for cutting, such as white 

 and yellow daisies, calendulas, wallflow- 

 ers, snapdragons, cornflowers, primulas, 

 forget-me-nots and callas, are not to l)e 

 surpassed for variety and general ex- 

 cellence of stock. The houses of roses 

 are in fine order. In carnations are 

 Gorgeous, of which no blooms have been 

 sold under $1.50 per dozen; Mrs. Ward, 

 Alma Ward, Delhi, Matchless and Harry 

 Fenn. They all are in the best of con 

 ditiou. The house of sweet j)eas con- 

 tains some extra fine blooms. After iii- 

 sjiectiiig the new, nianimotli packing 

 sIhmI, the i)arty returned to Lancaster, 

 where the visitors and a number of the 

 club members had dinner at the Elks'. 



At 7:30 p. m., in the Chamber of Com- 

 merce rooms, Thos. R. Fries spoke on 

 "Forcing Bulbs." Mr. Fries' ])aper 

 was interesting and valuable talk to all. 

 Albert M. Herr, chairman of committee 

 endeavoring to secure better exjtress 

 service, rei)orted progress. A motion 

 was carried to have the armory flower 

 show fund revert to the club treasury, 

 on account of the state 's decision to 

 build an armory for military purposes 

 only and not to b«' used for flower shows, 

 conventions, etc. 



At the next meeting, April 19, J. 

 Wade Gayley will speak ahout his ex- 

 periences with carnations. Mr. Gayley 

 is one of our successful growers. 



The florists who came from Reading 

 were: Fulmer Lauch, Stanley Giles, 

 Jacob Bauder, John Downing, Layton 

 Butts, Fred Frank, Lee Arnold and Al- 

 fred Landou. H. K. R.
