The Lancaster County Florists' Club 

 met Thursday evening, January 18, in 

 the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Car- 

 nation night brought out a large attend- 

 ance of members. On exhibition in the 

 newer carnations were Superb, a seed- 

 ling of Gloriosa x Enchantress, of 

 flesh pink color, and Doris, a beautiful 

 brilliant maroon. Eosalia, a cerise pink 

 of large size, was shown and attracted 

 much attention. A vase each of Belle 

 Washburn and Miss Theo looked like 

 two good commercials in their respec- 

 tive colors. Among the new roses shown 

 was Donald MacDonald, sent out this 

 year by Alex. Dickson & Sons, a variety 

 that lias the reputation of producing 

 more flowers during the winter than 

 any other red now growing. There were 

 exhibits of Primrose, an Indian-yellow, 

 of the general type of Ophelia; Eosalie, 

 a beautiful little corsage pink rose; Lit- 

 tle Gem, a fine yellow. The club was 

 indebted to the S. S. Pennock-Meehan 

 Co., of Philadelphia, for this fine show- 

 ing of the new varieties. 



Elmer J. Weaver, of Eonks, Pa., read 

 a paper on "The Newer Carnations." 

 Mr. Weaver has been growing carnations 

 since the days of Hinze's White and 

 Portia, and, as his observation is keen, 

 his conclusions are of much worth. 



The election of oflBcers for 1917 re- 

 sulted as follows: President, Harry A. 

 Schroyer; vice-president, W. B. Girvin; 

 secretary, Frank L. Kohr; treasurer, 

 Harry K. Eohrer. The president ap- 

 pointed the following committees to 

 serve for the ensuing year: Program, 

 Eudolpli Nagel, Charles B. Herr, Albert 

 M. Herr; visiting, Willis B. Girvin, 

 L. S. Landis, Ira H. Landis; automobile, 

 Charles M. Weaver, A. K. Eohrer, C. S. 

 Loeffler; sports, David F. Eose, A. F. 

 Strickler, Charles H. Tucker; exhibi- 

 tions, B. F. Barr, M. J. Brinton, J. De 

 Barry Heinitsh. 



Mr. Kost, of the W. F. Kasting Co., 

 Buffalo, N. Y., was a visitor. 



Prior to the meeting at 2 p. m., fifteen 

 florists went to Strasburg and visited 

 Amos N. Eohrer and Charles B. Herr. 

 At Mr. Eohrer 's was found the usual 

 fine quality stock. Supreme, White 

 Wonder and Ward are the leading carna- 

 tions, with Matchless and Alice Coombs 

 in lesser quantities. The Yarrawa peas 

 looked most promising. In potted stock, 

 daisies, cyclamens, Chinese primroses 

 and heliotropes were of high merit. 



The members then walked a mile to 

 the Charles B. Herr range, where Match- 

 less, Mrs. Ward, Supreme, Beacon and 

 Alice Coombs are flowering, all in fine 

 shape. 



Some of the party then walked an- 

 other mile to the J. Gayley establish- 

 ment, where the new King house filled 

 with Matchless carnations is a wonder- 

 ful sight. The other houses are filled 

 with Alice and Supreme, and also are 

 extra good. 



The next meeting will be held Thurs- 

 day, February 15. H. K. R.
