LANCASTER, PA. 



The Lancaster Florists' Club held its 

 ,luly meeting as guests of C. M. Weaver' 

 and Elmer J. Weaver, near Eonks sta- 

 tion. Thirty florists went to see the 

 Weaver aster planting, which consists 

 of 90,000 plants. Many thousands of 

 blooms have already been cut and have 

 brought prices that were worth while. 

 The Weavers have grown asters for 

 many years, never replanting on the 

 same field until seven years have 

 elapsed. They save their own seed, and 

 have something to show for it, a su- 

 perior strain of blooms. Vick's Laven- 

 der Pink is being tried, and the visitors 

 were pleased with its lovely tint and 

 large blooms. 



Charles M. has a house of peas 50x400, 

 in which the plants now are three inches 

 in height. Many pompon mums are be- 

 ing grown in connection with sweet 

 peas and are in fine condition. On his 

 home grounds he has many tuberous- 

 rooted begonias, a collection not sur- 

 passed in this part of the country. His 

 beds of the newer cannas are superb. 



After passing around cigars we in- 

 spected the houses of Elmer J., where 

 quantities of tomatoes have been a 

 feature for some time, the best ones 

 going to the Boston market and the sec- 

 onds disposed of locally, also at ex- 

 tremely good figures. A new house 

 62x400 will be planted to carnations, 

 the stock in the field being in good 

 condition. 



Eeturning to the Weaver home, the 

 meeting was called to order by Presi- 

 dent Schroyer. Those of the members 

 who attended the Beading florists' 

 picnic spoke in glowing terms of the 

 royal time shown them. On motion of 

 M. J. Brinton, the club voiced a pro- 

 test against the announced intention of 

 the express companies to place an em- 

 bargo on shipments of flowers at cer- 

 tain seasons of the year; also that of 

 overruling the rule calling for delivery 

 of flowers in twenty-four hours after 

 receipt. 



B. F. Barr invited the florists to 

 meet in August at his home and the in- 

 vitation was accepted with thanks. 

 Harry G. Haverstick, formerly with M. 

 S. Hershey, of Hershey, Pa., but now 

 with B. F. Barr & Co., was elected a 

 member of the club.
