The Florists' Review 



Mat 27. 1915. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



Club Meeting. 



The May meeting of the Lancaster 

 County Florists' Club was well at- 

 tended. The discussion for the evening 

 was opened by Albert M. Herr, who 

 read a brief paper on "The Newer 

 Bedding Plants. ' ' In geraniums, it was 

 generally conceded that Ricard, Nutt 

 and Poitevine are the most in demand. 

 Other varieties well spoken of were 

 Viaud, Oberle, Jaulin, Montmort and 

 Buchner. J. P. Siebold spoke on the 

 value of the new American Beauty 

 geranium, and Rudolph Nagel had a 

 warm word for the beautiful red, Scar- 

 let Bedder. 



H. D. Rohrer exhibited Paul Crampel, 

 the single scarlet, which is the principal 

 variety used in the parks of London, 

 England. Pink Beauty gladioli were 

 also shown by him. 



President B. F. Barr appointed Elmer 

 J. Weaver, H. K. Rohrer and Frank L. 

 Kohr to arrange for the annual picnic, 

 to be held about the middle of July. 



The Florists' Club will hold a dahlia 

 show in connection with the Lancaster 

 county agricultural fair, during the first 

 week in October. Prizes for the ex- 

 hibits of amateurs will be awarded by 

 the fair association. A committee, with 

 Albert M. Herr as chairman, was ap- 

 pointed, which is a sufficient guarantee 

 that the exhibition will be first-class. 



Maurice J. Brinton, of Christiana, Pa., 

 spoke on the losses in a season resulting 

 from the careless handling of express 

 shipments by the employees of the dif- 

 ferent companies. The secretary was 

 instructed to communicate with John 

 Young, secretary of the S. A. F., con- 

 cerning the action to be taken by the 

 club. 



H. S. Hostetter, of Manheim, Pa., 

 was elected to membership. The next 

 meeting will be held June 17, at which 

 Ira H. Landis, of Paradise, will read 

 a paper on "Summer Treatment of 

 Carnations."
