The Florists' Review 



July 8. 1915. 



LANCASTEB, FA. 



The Market. 



Official records in Lancaster city show 

 the rainfall for June to have been 8.2 

 inches, which is most unusual for this 

 section. Consequently, plant life is 

 making vigorous growth. Early varie- 

 ties of asters are making their appear- 

 ance, and, judging by the size and good 

 condition of the aster plantings in gen- 

 eral this season, some of the growers 

 will be driving 6-cylinder machines or 

 be putting up iron-frame greenhouses 

 with part of the profits by the time the 

 season is over. 



The outdoor gladiolus plantings look 

 exceptionally well, and an occasional 

 bud may be seen showing color. The 

 indoor gladioli are rapidly drawing to 

 a close. 



Various Notes. 



At Paradise, Pa., Ira Landis had 

 some choice Klondyke gladioli recently, 

 and at H. D. Rehrer's some exceptional 

 Princeps was seen. 



Frank L. Kohr and B. F. Barr & Co. 

 are cutting extra fine gladioli. 



As previously stated, the Lancaster 

 County florists will hold a dahlia show 

 in connection with the Lancaster County 

 Fair, in the latter part of September. 

 The attendance at the fair often runs 

 more than 100,000 per day, so that 

 dahlias will certainly have a boost here. 

 Albert M. Herr, chairman of the dahlia 

 exhibit, has been issuing instructions 

 to the amateurs through the local pa- 

 pi9rs, as to the proper fertilization, dis- 

 budding, etc., in order to have the best 

 possible blooms for the competitive 

 classes. 



When the old Liberty Bell passed 

 through Lancaster, July 5, en route to 

 the Panama exposition, the school chil- 

 dren strewed garlands of flowers oyer 

 the car. Mrs. Albert M. Herr was on the 

 committee which assisted the children. 



Harry A. Schroyer last week enter- 

 tained Mayor Trout, Judge Hassler and 

 a party of friends at a pea dinner, 

 which he serves each year. 



July 15 the annual picnic of the 

 Lancaster county florists will be held 

 at Eocky Springs park, which is a 20- 

 minute trolley ride from Lancaster. 

 For those desiring a picnic lunch at 

 noon and dinner at 5 p. m., there will 

 be a charge of $1. Tickets can be ob- 

 tained from the committee at the 

 dancing pavilion from 11 to 12 o'clock 

 on that day. A program of sports has 

 been arranged for the afternoon. A 

 cordial invitation is extended to any 

 florists and their friends from neighbor- 

 ing counties to attend. H. K. R.
