The Club Meeting. 



The Lancaster County Florists' Club 

 was entertained by B. F. Barr, Thurs- 

 day evening, August 16, at his country 

 home. More than thirty were in at- 



tendance. Inspection of the Barr 

 grounds revealed fine plantings of 

 conifers and specimen shrubbery. Con- 

 siderable space is' being planted to 

 shade trees, spaced for specimen stock. 

 The fourteen acres of tobacco, almost 

 ready for housing, is not surpassed in 

 Lancaster county. The registered Hol- 

 stein cows are among the finest. 



President H. A. Schroyer called the 

 meeting to order on the porch, after 

 cigars had been passed to all. Fred 

 Ritchey gave an interesting account of 

 a 1600-mile auto trip through the New 



England states. Arthur Nicssen, of 

 Philadelphia, who has been visiting 

 many of the growers througliout the 

 county in his car, was present and 

 made some remarks. He thinks the 

 prospects for the florists' business for 

 the coming year are bright and says 

 that his company is preparing to do the 

 largest amount of business in its his- 

 tory. He pointed out two valuable 

 points to growers, that they should 

 keep a sharp eye on any unnecessary 

 expense and that they sliould grow the 

 best stock possible.
