Skptbmbiok 24, lUli 



LANCASTER, PA. 



Club Meeting. 



At the September meeting ot the Lan- 

 caster County Florists' Club, Thursday 

 evening, September 17, there was a good 

 attendance of members. Charles F. Ed- 

 gar's paper on "The Florists' Business 

 from a Betailer's Point of View" was 

 full of strong points and brought out a 

 lively discussion. Albert M. Herr gave 

 an interesting report of his trip to Bos- 

 ton to the S. A, F. convention. He was 

 most favorably impressed with a bed of 

 the new My Maryland geranium and 

 also spoke enthusiastically of the won- 

 derful new gladioli shown. Alice, Peter 

 Fisher's new pink carnation, looked to 

 him like a winner and one of the coming 

 commercial pinks. 



President B. F. Barr spoke on the 

 coming flower show, to be held Novem- 

 ber 6 and 7, as also did members of the 

 committee. The auditorium has been 

 leased and everything points to a most 

 interesting exhibition at that time. At 

 the next meeting,. October 15, Elmer 

 Weaver will speak on "Greenhouse Con- 

 struction" and H. A. Schroyer will 

 speak on ' ' Commercial Chrysanthe- 

 mums. ' ' Thursday, October 15, the 

 members of the club will visit W. B. 

 Girvin, at Leola, to inspect his new 

 house erected by the King Construction 

 Co., leaving Centre square by trolley at 

 3:30 p. m. T. J. Nolan spoke briefly 

 on his S. A. F. Boston experiences, as 

 also did D. J. Keohane, of H. F. Michel] 

 Co., Philadelphia.

without a doubt the best Carnations and Roses are produced by the 

 liberal use of commercial f •rtilizora as compared with barnyard manura*. 



Judging from points— size of blooms, length and strength of stem, keeping 

 qualities— through commercial fortlllzer, the higlieat mark of parfac- 

 tlon has been reached, and It'a no aacrat. 



You should improve barnyard manure with an added mixture of RANDO 

 FKRTILIZCRS. Why not produce excellent flow^ers and in greater qnantiiies? 

 That's what jnaices greenhouses a bigger paying proposition. 



A LOAD OF MANURE IN 100-LB. BAG 



2000 lbs. of barnyard manure con- 

 tain on an average about : 



10 to 16 lbs. Nitrogen
