The Florists^ Review 



Decbubeb 23, 1920 



LANCASTER, FA. 



Club Meeting. 



December 16, the Lancaster County 

 FloriSkts' Association held its regular 

 meeting in the Chamber of Commerce 

 rooms, with President W. B. Girvin, of 

 Leola, Pa., in the chair. Fifteen mem- 

 bers were present. Nominations for 

 officers for 1921 resulted as follows: 

 President, W. B. Girvin; vice-presi- 

 dent, B. F. Barr; secretary, Albert M. 

 Herr; treasurer, Harry K. Eohrer. 



Mrs. Albert M. Herr read a summary 

 of the year 's work, and members of the 

 club are elated over the work accom- 

 plislicd in 1920. 



A, committee was appointed to ar- 

 range a trip to the carnation show, at 

 Washington, D. C, January 26 and 27. 

 B. F. Barr, Elmer J. Weaver and Harry 

 K. Eohrer constituted the committee 

 named. Numerous plans for next year's 

 work were discussed. One new mem- 

 ber was elected. 



The meeting was preceded by a trip 

 to Strasburg, Pa., calling first on Amos 

 H. Eohrer, whose carnations were in 

 line shape. White Wonder, Belle Wash- 

 burn and Ward are the standard ones. 

 Mr. Eohrer 's range is a model for neat- 

 ness and good management. 



At J. Wade Gayley's, an entire house 

 was planted with Matchless, which was 

 grown to perfection. The plants showed 

 from twenty-five to thirty-five flowers 

 and buds, and growth following. Bea- 

 con, as grown here, shows tlic same 

 vigor it possessed when introduced. 

 Ward is the favorite shade of pink. 

 Laddie is making a fine showing, and 

 next year considerable space will be 

 planted with it. Mr. Gayley's treat of 

 Baldwin apples and cigars was enjoyed. 



At Charles B. Herr's, the carnations 

 were also found in excellent condition. 

 Matchless, Ward, Supreme and Belle 

 Washburn were the favorites. Fisher's 

 new red docs not show up as well as 

 had been expected. A sport of Ward, 

 similar in color to Euth Baur, excited 

 favorable comment. In neatness and 

 cleanliness his establishment is not sur- 

 passed. H. K. E. 



LAKE CHARLES, LA. 



J. G. Strong, formerly with the Lang 

 Floral & Nursery Co., Dallas, Tex., 

 has built a greenhouse, 15x50 feet, at 

 his residence, near Lake Charles. A 

 large space has already been given to 

 Asparagus Sprengeri and plumosus. He 

 is also contemplating growing small 

 roses. He believes the soil is ideal for 

 rose culture. Mr. Strong is cutting a 

 large quantity of fish moss for use in 

 nothern homes, which is a new venture 

 also.

CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



The highest quality in Chrysanthemums is accorded 

 our products by the majority of Commercial growers. 



A few so-called Exhibition varieties under the best 

 state of cultivation have in a degree Commercial 

 qualities, but such qualities are greatly depleted 

 under conditions slightly adverse. In other words, 

 there is little or no middle ground— they are either 

 good or bad. 



In considering Commercial qualities, the best returns 

 for the labor bestowed designate the varieties most 

 useful to the grower. 



A list of up-to-date varieties comprising new, re- 

 cent introductions, and the best of the older kinds, 

 will be furnished upon request.
