Tlie Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 25, 1917. 



LANCASTER, FA. 



The Club Meeting. 



David F. Eose read an interesting 

 paper on dahlias at the monthly meet- 

 ing of the Lancaster County Florists' 

 Club October 18. He spoke of the va- 

 rieties that every florist should grow 

 and gave some interesting figures show- 

 ing that a nice profit can be realized 

 from the commercial varieties, such as 

 A. D. Livoni, Yellow Livoni, Delice and 

 the popular pompon varieties. A dozen 

 vases of amateur-grown show dahlias 

 were shown. 



The next meeting will be held No- 

 vember 15, when several members will 

 read papers on chrysanthemums. Some 

 of the newer varieties of mums will be 

 on exhibition. In the afternoon, pre- 

 vious to the meeting, there will be an 

 automobile visit to the growers near the 



city. 



Various Notes. 



H. A. Schroyer is cutting some fine 

 Oconto mums. 



The B. F. Barr & Co. store had an 

 unusually attractive autumn arrange- 

 ment, in which some of the newer mums 

 were used. 



Eudolph Nagel extended an invita- 

 tion to the public to view his mums 

 October 21. Many admired the many 

 gems of his collection. 



W. B. Girvin is shipping fine Ophelia 

 roses to the Philadelphia market.

The Market. 



The activities last week were not so 

 brisk as earlier in the month. The first 

 killing frost came October 16. Mums 

 are arriving in large quantities and are 

 the feature of every window display. 

 Eoses are first-class, especially Eussells. 

 Orchids, valley, violets and snapdrag- 

 ons are to be had and find a ready sale. 

 Chrysanthemum plants, especially Ca- 

 price, are having a good call. Cycla- 

 mens, Primula obconica, Begonia lumi- 

 posa and Begonia Prima Donna are 

 slowly finding a better market. 



Various Notes. 



The sympathy of many friends in the 

 trade is' extended to Mr. and Mrs. Sam- 

 uel E. Lundy, whose son, Arthur Lee, 

 died October 16 at Mercy hospital, from 

 double pneumonia. The father is at 

 Mercy hospital recovering from an oper- 

 ation performed about three weeks ago. 



J. H. Wealand, of the Pocatello 

 Floral Co., Pocatello, Idaho, and his 

 family were among last week's visitors.
