NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



Progress in Collections. 

 The 1922 publicity caiupaijiii ton 

 tiiuiea to make good progress and all en- 

 gaced in pushing it are optimistic as to 

 ultimate results; in fact, if interest 

 keep up as at present, it is believed 

 that the fund will go away beyond pre- 

 vious figures and the publicity resulting 

 be something near the mark set at the 

 inception of the campaign, but not yet 



realized. „ ^, , 



The dominating feature of the work 

 is of course, the collection of the funds. 

 While those who have studied the pub 

 licitv work to any extent are backing 

 up their interest with prompt payments 

 of the amounts they have pledged to the 

 fund, manv others arc a little careless 

 in this particular. It is nice to look at 

 the list of pledges and plan to disburse 

 the moneys represented in the best possi- 

 ble way. Still, if these moneys are not 

 in hand, action is held up and little 

 can be done. It is the money that keeps 

 the publicity wheel revolving and with- 

 out it the work hangs on a dead center. 

 It is hoped that all who liii>ve not yet 

 met their pledges will take this slate 

 inent to heart and resolve that the in 

 terest they have already shown m the 

 cause shall be backed up by a speedy 

 taking up of pledges, so tliat the com- 

 mittee mav accomplish what it has 

 been spending a vast amount of time to 

 plan. It should be remembered, too, that 

 contracts for magazine space must be 

 made well in advance of date of issue 

 which is always long ahead of month oi 

 dating. Some magazines close their ad- 

 vertising i)age8 three months or more 

 in advance of the issue of a number and 

 this class of publication is necessarily 

 among the most highly desirable.

There was a Jolly miller 



Lived on the river Dee; 

 He worked and lie nunc. 



No Inrk so blithe ns lie. 

 And tills the burden of his soni; 



Forever used to be: 

 "I'll cnre for nolmdy; no, not 1 



And nobody cares for me." 



Known to numerous friends as tin- 

 Jolly miller of Conestoga Creek, Willis 

 n. Girvin, of Leola, Pa., is also a sue 

 cessful grower of carnations and roses, 

 as witness the last new house with 

 plants of leading kinds in the second 

 year, as well as Kose White Killarney. 

 bur genial fellow craftsman is a live 

 ineml)er of the Lancaster County Flo 

 rists' Club, presided over by the re- 

 cently elected president, Harry K, 

 Rohrer, and boasting a membershiji of 

 seventy-five real workers,

"It is an erroneous idea," observed 

 Harry K. Rohrer, of H. D. Eolirer, 

 liancaster, Pa., referring to the mistaki' 

 made by many in supposing Primula 

 malacoides needs a high temperature, 

 as lie called attention to a lot of plants 

 growing in a low lean-to house, with a 

 temperature of 38 degrees. Shipments 

 niade to all parts, increasing in area and 

 extent, invariably arrive in good shape, 

 jiroof of the hardy nature of the s]>eeies. 

 .V double form has appeared. It is a 



lieautiful thing and, as it will, doubtless, 

 reproduce from seed, it will form a vahi 

 iible addition to this unrivaled strain, 

 secured through careful selection, and 

 close attention. Another plant well 

 grown is the cyclamen, up to 5-inch pot- 

 size. Its popularity is seen in the sale.s 

 on the market stand of what may be 

 termed seconds, the best being snapped 

 up by the stores. Sweet peas are in fine 

 crop, the new variety, Mrs. Kerr, stand- 

 ing out preeminently among Burpee's 

 newest kinds. Carnations are cropping, 

 as well as a fine batch of cinerarias. A 

 ))rctty lot of cyclamens and a batch of 

 geranium cuttings were noted, and elic- 

 ited the remark from Mr. Rohrer that 

 his neighbors, who specialize in gera- 

 niums, deserve sympathy, as they will 

 not realize thirty-three and one third 

 per cent of propagation.

The lady artist at the B. V. Barr 

 blower Store, Lancaster, Pa., was seen 

 finishing a lovely bridal bouquet, com-

 peas, lily of the valley and adiantum.

 It was not surprising to learn that an- 

 other such was ordered for a second 

 bride. B. F. Barr is rarely to be found 

 any more at the store. The nurserv, in
