The Florists^ Review 



OoxoBU 18. 1921 



most of Lameaater's leading women, 

 held a flower show in the clubrooms un- 

 der the direction of the chairman, Mrs. 

 Albert M. Herr. The exhibition was a 

 grand sneeess. The classes for floral ar- 

 rangement were warmly contested and 

 brought out some really excellent roses 

 and baskets of October garden flowers. 

 The judges were Miss Nora Brown, Mrs. 

 John Hertzler and Harry K. Bohrer. 

 Among the trade who sent baskets, etc., 

 were H. A. Schroyerj B. F. Barr, Ira. H. 

 Landis and H. D. Bohrer 's Sons. The 

 dahlia exhibits by Adam Felsinger and 

 W. H. Hawman were exceptionally high- 

 class. The Iris Club is already planning 

 to set up a wonderful June show next 

 spring. Mrs. Albert M. Herr is to be 

 complimented on her efforts in staging 

 these amatear flower shows, which have 

 a direct bearing on the floral trade. 



Mr. and Mrs. Maurice J. Brinton, 

 Christian^ Pa., have returned from an 

 extended trip to the great north woods 

 and the New Brunswick country. They 

 were successful im shooting deer and 

 bear. Mr. Brinton is an expert angler 

 and had some fine catches of trout. 



Eecently Mr. and Mrs. Ira H. Landis 

 entertained about fifty of their friends 

 at a "watermelon" supper at the pala- 

 tial home at Old City Mill, along the 

 Conestoga. Several years ago Mr. 

 Landis came into possession of the old 

 homestead, on which he was born. A 

 large section of the 100 acres is planted 

 with the newest and best commercial 

 peonies. Acres of gladioli are annually 

 grown for cut blooms, possessing an un- 

 excelled quality. Dahlias are also grown 

 m great numbers. Mr. and Mr^, Landis 

 have five sons and three daughters. 



Mr. and Mrs. Willis B. Girvin, Leola, 

 Pa., are receiving congratulations on 

 the birth of a son. 



At the Eosery Mrs. L. H. D. Moore is 

 receiving Unaka mums of the finest 

 quality, outdoor grown. Chrysolora and 

 October Frost and a few Pacific are also 

 to be seen. Ij. K. R. 



HOOSIEB'S DAHLIA SHOW. 



Many visitors were attracted to Spen- 

 cer, Indiana, last week by the National 

 Cooperative Show Gardens' tenth an- 

 nual display of dahlias, held October 8. 

 That day, known as Advertising Club 

 day, was observed in honor of the visit- 

 ing advertising clubs of the Wabash 

 valley, in conference at Spencer. 



Between 12,000 and 15,000 blooms 

 were distributed as souvenirs to the vis- 

 itors. In the basement of the Barnes 

 country home, formerly the home of 

 Calvin Fletcher, the noted landscape 

 gardener, many baskets and vases of 

 cut flowers, attractively arranged, were 

 seen. Carpets, rugs and many other 

 unique designs were also displayed. 

 Many other outstanding features of 

 landscape and floral display were en- 

 joyed and especially among these were 

 the new types and varieties of dahlias 

 produced by Mr. Barnes. Over 350 of 

 these new varieties were made into a 

 carpet with more than 1,000 blooms, no 

 two of which were alike. The half-mile 

 drive from East street throtigh the lines 

 of stately Norway maple trees, planted 

 fifty years ago; the private grounds of 

 Mr. Barnes, with their winding paths de- 

 lightfully designed, with their bushes, 

 shrubs and trees seemingly strewn in 

 such profusion about the wide expanse 

 of garden, but in reality placed with 

 such precision and forethought as to 

 locate each plaMt in the position of
