Visitors and Club Meeting. 



The Lancaster florists and their 

 friends had a great day March 2, 

 in Philadelphia and vicinity. The 

 party consisted of Charles B. Herr, E. 

 S. Loeffler, B. Frank Barr, L. H. Duel- 

 man, Charles N. Weaver, John R. Shrei- 

 ner, B. J. Passmore, Isaac Passmore, 

 Edward C. Marshall, William Swayne, 

 X H. Landis, Albert M. Herr, Frank 

 L. Kohr, H. B. Weaver, J. Rudolph 

 Hess, J. Ralph E. Hess, A. H. Lanser, 

 Elmer W^eaver, J. Brown, M. J. Brin- 

 ton, R. W. Denlinger, H. K. Rohrer. 

 They were met by Samuel S. Pennock 

 at Strafford, where they visited Ed- 

 ward A. Stroud's carnation range, go- 

 ing thence to the Reading terminal, 

 where Eugene Bernheimer and Wil- 

 liam J. Muth joined them on their way 

 to North Wales, where the Florex Gar- 

 dens and dinner were enjoyed. The 

 way to Hatboro was made by every 

 known means of locomotion, the Great 

 Sam leading the walkers. At Hat- 

 boro the party discovered D. T. 

 Connor and admired Gorgeous at the 



establishment of Henry M. Weiss & 

 Sons. Oak Lane followed, where the 

 party saw the place of J. Stephenson 

 and its roses. 



The entire party of Lancaster vis- 

 itors swelled the carnation meeting of 

 the Florists' Club in the evening. It 

 was a large audience that assembled 

 to hear Edmond A. Harvey's excellent 

 paper on the divine flower. Every seat 

 was taken. J. Otto Thilow offered a 

 bowling trophy on behalf of Henry A. 

 Dreer, Inc., for which everyone will 

 have a chance. The exhibits were: 

 Florex Gardens, North Wales, Beacon, 

 Ruth, Enchantress; White Enchantress, 

 and a pink' seedling; B. F. Dewitt, 

 Croydon, white seedling No. 13; A. 

 Roper, Tewksbury, Mass., Grace and

 rieties from stock; J. M. Palmer, Mrs.

 B. Barkley, Darwin tulips; Victor Gro- 

 shens, Roslyn, new pink rose of John 



Cook's; Charles F. Edgar, suction 

 vases, approved by M. J. Callahan. 



Lake Superior. 



Quite a while ago an advertisement 

 appeared in The Review that made an 

 impression. It contained an outline, 

 in faithful, atlas style, of the first of 

 our five great lakes, described by the 

 words Lake Superior, and went on to 

 say that these "Lake Superior Violet 

 Ties" were the nicest you can get, or 

 words to that effect, adding that they 

 were to be had from William B. Lake, 

 who chanced, happily, to be a Philadel- 

 phian. It struck me that William B. 

 Lake must be a bright man, so it was 

 with a special interest that I accepted 

 an invitation to visit his factory and 

 office at 2535-37 North Thirty-fourth 

 street. Mr. Lake was out of town, but 

 his representative courteously showed 

 me over the place. The specialties 

 today are pot covers and ties, with 

 other accessories. The pot covers are 

 adjustable; no tying on is necessary.
