Anticipation 



CIWAQIC FERTILIZER will make you 

 more money with less work, because 



it works all the time-=night and day. When you 



buy a fertilizer, get THE BEST. 



CMAQIC is THE BEST- everybody says so.

Club Meeting. 



The club meeting March 18 was well 

 attended. Ira H. Landis, chairman of 

 the glad hand committee, reported the 

 arrangements for ladies' night, to be 

 held April 15, at the Stevens House, 

 at 7 p. m. This promises to be one of 

 the most pleasant social events in the 

 history *of the club. The best is none 

 too good for the wives and friends of 

 the Lancaster county florists. 



Charles H. Grakelow, of Philadel- 

 phia, was present and gave a helpful 

 talk. During the last fifteen years 

 Mr. Grakelow has established one of 

 the principal retail stores of Philadel- 

 phia, using many original methods to 

 attract new business, which he ex- 

 plained in detail. His ideas on adver- 

 tising in the newspapers and on the 

 system used in mailing lists, the cal- 

 endars sent, with no business printing 

 thereon, all have been factors in his 

 success. He also referred to rather 

 a new idea in the cut flower business, 

 that of the department stores in large 

 cities opening up-to-date rooms for the 

 sale of flowers and plants. 



Various Notes. 



With the Lenten season again draw- 

 ing to a close, business is reviving quite 

 noticeably. Among the cut flower 



f rowers indications are for a heavy cut 

 or Easter. In the plant houses at 

 Barr's, Schroyer's, Fries', Bachler's and 

 Goldbach 's, every preparation is being 

 made for the Easter rush. 



Harry A. Schroyer will have an ex- 

 tremely fine lot of Easter lilies for 

 cutting. The 12-inch pans of hyacinths 

 grown by him are the finest I have 

 seen. 



George G. Goldbach has his usual 

 supply of calla lilies for next week. 



Rodney Eshleman, decorator for B. 

 F. Barr & Co., has had an unusually 

 fine display of dainty baskets filled with 

 spring flowers. H. K. R.
