The Flofjsts' Review 



May 20, 1916. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



Last week was extremely busy for 

 those who have houses of bedding 

 plants. Bedding out is well under way 

 in this section. In geraniums, Ricard, 

 Nutt, Foitevine, Viaud and Buchner 

 are the leaders here. A growing de- 

 mand is noticed for the new Scarlet 

 Redder. H. A. Schroyer, B. F. Barr 

 & Co., Thomas Fries and Miss Bachler 

 all have large stocks of bedding ma- 

 terial and are overrun with orders. 



Frank L. Kohr, at his Central Mar- 

 ket stand, carries one of the most com- 

 plete lines of bedding stock to be 

 found hereabouts. 



Eudolph Nagel, who specializes on 

 chrysanthemums and geraniums, has 

 been most successful in rooting mums 

 this spring and is handling immense 

 quantities of them now. 



A. F. Strickler's collection of Dar- 

 win and May-flowering tulips are fine. 



Mr. and Mrs. Elmer J. Weaver, of 

 Ronks, Pa., pleasantly entertained a 

 number of their friends at dinner last 

 week. 



Fred W. Ritchy is erecting half a 

 dozen fine residences at East King and 

 Ann streets. 



One of the finest concerts ever heard 

 in Lancaster was given at Fulton opera 

 house for the benefit of St. Joseph 's 

 hospital last week. Mrs. Albert M. 

 Herr was chairman of the executive 

 committee. 



Lemon Landis specializes on smilax 

 and has houses of it in fine shape for 

 the June weddings. 



Several weeks ago the outlook on 

 the peony crop was not good, but now 

 we are almost certain there will be a 

 fine cut for Memorial day. The of- 

 ficinalis varieties are already in bloom. 



The next meeting of the Lancaster 

 County Florists' Association will be 

 held May 20. The topic for discussion 

 will be ' ' The Newer Bedding Plants. ' ' 



The time is not far distant when 

 Mothers' day will be on a parallel with 

 Memorial day, judging by the greatly 

 increasing purchases of flowers by the 

 masses on that day. Not only the 

 grower of white carnations is benefited, 

 but there was a noticeably increased 

 demand for well grown blooming 

 plants. 



W. B. Girvin, Leola, Pa., had an 

 exceptionally fine lot of white carna- 

 tions, principally Matchless, for 

 Mothers ' day. 



At the store of B. F. Barr & Co., Rod- 

 ney Eshleman had an appropriate 

 Mothers' day window display, the cen- 

 tral part of which was a superb repro- 

 duction of Whistler's "Mother." The 

 Rosery and W. A. Hammond, as well 

 as George Goldbach, used special ad- 

 vertising for the day and were re- 

 warded for doing so. H. K. E. 



Make Money Growing Inside Lettuce 



You know you can grow four crops 

 of lettuce in a greenhouse. Or two 

 crops of lettuce, one of radishes and 

 one of tomatoes or cucumbers. 



Grown in our up-to-date houses, 

 there is. of course, more money jn 



HiicKiivfirs 



tomatoes or cucumbers than Just 

 lettuce. 



We can give you some figures on 

 the tomato crop that will open your 

 eyes. 



Do you want them?
