The Florists' Review 



OCVOBIB 7, 1916. 



LANCASTEB, FA. 



The Dalilia Show. 



The dahlia show held last week in 

 Exposition hall at the Lancaster coun- 

 ty fair was a decided success. More 

 than 100 of the newest varieties of 

 dahlias were shown. They were staged 

 September 28 and lasted throughout 

 the week. 



In the general florists' class, Frank 

 A. Suter received first money and also 

 a silver cup for showing the most va- 

 rieties, locally grown. 



David F. Bose, an amateur exhibitor, 

 received first prize in cactus, show and 

 peony-flowered classes, three vases to 

 each class. 



H. D. Rohrer showed thirty-two va- 

 rieties. A. F. Strickler had a credi- 

 table display, as did B. Frank Barr & 

 Co. Adam Felsinger, of Lancaster, 

 staged, for exhibition only, fifty vases 

 of finest quality dahlias. 



S. S. Penmock, of the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., of Philadelphia, judged 

 the exhibits. The committee in charge 

 of the dahlia display was made up of 

 Albert M. Herr, H. D. Rohrer, George 

 G. Goldbach and A. F. Strickler. They 

 were ably assisted by a number of tha 

 club's members. 



Exhibitors from out of town were the 

 McCallum Co., Pittsburgh and Cleve- 

 land; S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Phila- 

 delphia; John Young, East Prospect, 

 Pa.; R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co., White 

 Marsh, Md.; Henry F. Michell Co., 

 Philadelphia. John F. Rupp, Shire- 

 manstown. Pa., showed a vase of his 

 new blue petunia, a beautiful shade. A 

 number of out-of-town florists attend- 

 ed the show. 



The local newspapers pronounced the 

 show one of the principal features of 

 the fair and complimented the Lan- 

 caster County Florists' Club on the ef- 

 fort.

The club will hold its next meeting 

 October 21. Robert Pyle, of West
