LANCASTER, PA. 



Club Meeting. 



At tlic monthly meeting of the Lan- 

 caster Countv Florists' Club May 17, 

 Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, 

 Md., entertained the members, their 

 families and friends with an illustrated 

 lecture on "Dahlias," which proved 

 to be most instructive. The club de- 

 cided to hold its annual picnic at 

 Hershey park June 21. The committee 

 in charge of the outing is composed of 

 L. S. Landis, Harry K. Eohrer and De 

 Barry Heinitsh. After the meeting re- 

 freshments were served and an hour 

 was devoted to social entertainment. 



Vaxious Notes. 

 Owing to the continued cool weather 



there were practically no outdoor flow- 

 ers for Memorial day. In this section 

 only a few oflBcinalis peonies, irises 

 and pyrethrums were in bloom. Several 

 hot days and Lancaster county would 

 have had the usual thousands of her- 

 baceous peonies. 



The weather continues dry and most 

 of the carnation giants in the field 

 have had no soaking rain since they 

 were planted. 



Mrs. Albert M. Herr successfully 

 managed a garden party at the country 

 home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Brown, for 

 the benefit of St. Joseph's hospital. 



At Charles M. Weaver's home on 

 Philadelphia pike there is a huge bed of 

 Darwin tulips which attracts much at- 

 tention and is "a credit to Mr. Weaver. 



Enos W. Kohr's new automobile is 



a beauty. His carnations continue to 

 be among the best sent out of the 

 county. 



P. J. Murphy 's Memorial day window 

 display for B. F. Barr & Co. was one 

 of the finest ever shown in the city. 



Ira H. Landis, of Paradise, is cutting 

 some choice sweet peas from outdoor 

 planting. H. K. E. 



AUentown, Pa. — Andrew Yeager still 

 takes an active interest in the busi- 

 ness, although his son-in-law has proved 

 a most valuable assistant. 



East Bridge-water, Mass. — Speaking 

 for J. K. Alexander, his son, J. H. Alex- 

 ander says business in dahlia roots has 

 been better than ever before, sales hav- 

 ing doubled last year's record, with all 

 surplus stock cleaned up.
