The Florists' Review 



DlCBMBKB 21, 1916. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



Club Banquet. 



December 14 the Lancaster County 

 Florists' Club held its annual banquet 

 in Brenneman hall. Heretofore January 

 has been the month selected for this joy- 

 ous occasion, but this year December 

 was chosen, with a view to having a 

 larger attendance of members, as the 

 rough and cold weather of January often 

 kept the members at home. Nothing 

 was gained this year, however, for the 

 weather was in the zero class, with a 

 foot of snow; and many of the smaller 

 growers stayed by their firesides. 

 Twenty-five sat down to a fine dinner 

 served by Caterer Stegeman. 



Rudolph Nagel, in behalf of the club, 

 presented to President Harry A. 

 Schroyer a token of the club's regard 

 for the officer's faithful services during 

 the last year. The Henry F. Michell 

 Co. medals, awarded at the flower show 

 in November, were presented to the win- 

 ners. M. J. Brinton was called upon for 

 remarks and spoke of the increased 

 Christmas demand for flowers occasioned 

 by those who are not regular buyers 

 throughout the year, but who, if not 

 overcharged at this time, will become 

 permanent buyers of florists' wares. B. 

 F. Barr spoke along the same line. 



A short business meeting then was 

 held, at which the following were nomi- 

 nated for officers: For president, Harry 

 A. Schroyer; vice-president, Willis B 

 Girvin; secretary, Frank L. Kohr; treas- 

 urer, Harry K. Rohrer. The flower show 

 account, audited by E. P. Hostetter, 

 Amos N. Rohrer and Willis B. Girvin 

 was presented and accepted. The report 

 showed that after the Armory fund had 

 been set aside a good balance remained 

 for the club treasury. 



J. De Barry Heinitsh was elected an 

 amateur member of the club. 



At the club's next meeting, .Tanuarv 

 IS, carnations will be the topic under 

 discussion. Wo expect to have exhibits 

 ot the newer varieties, and a paper will 

 be presented by Elmer J. Weaver, who 

 IS an authority on the subject and who 

 has more of the newer varieties under 

 cultivation than any other grower in the 

 county. 



Ralph Murphy and Rudolph Nagel 

 wore appointed captains in the bowling 

 J"ontest. At first duck pins were used 

 but later the large ones. Those who 

 won prizes were L. S. Landis. David 

 Rose Ben. Sterneman and Rudolph 

 ^agol. * 



Various Notes. 



The carnation cut throughout the 

 county will be light for Christmas. 



Charles M. Weaver and F. P. Hos 

 tetter will have fine crops of sweet peas 

 for the Christmas market. 



Paper Whites are grown extensively 

 by M. J. Brinton, E. J. Weaver, W. B. 

 Girvin, Ira Landis and Enos Kohr, who 

 report good prices and a generallv satis- 

 factory market. 



The flower stores are wearing gala 

 holiday attire; they are artistically 

 decorated with holly, laurel wreathing 

 and Christmas greens. 



Among those who contemplate build- 

 ing the coming year are H. B. Weaver, 

 of Bird-in-Hand; B. F. Barr, Enos Le- 

 fever and E. F. Campbell, of Marietta, 

 Pa. 



Albert M. Herr, in addition to his 

 other duties, finds time to help to ar- 

 range for the pure food show and the 



Especially is this true in the buying of Fertilizers to use 

 as a feed for either Flowers or Vegetables. 



That's why so many growers now insist on Magic Fer- 

 tilizers, knowing they always get the very best. 



Magic Fertilizers contain more natural plant food than 

 other brands, because — 



They are manufactured solely'from Animal Blood, Animal 

 Bone and High-grade Animal Tankage. And Pure Humus 

 is the make-weight, or filler.
