dub Meeting. 



October 15, the Lancaster County 

 Florists' Club held its monthly meeting 

 with a fair attendance of members. 

 Elmer J. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa., read a 

 paper on "Modern Greenhouse Con- 

 struction," which was one of the best 

 ever presented before our club. D. T. 

 Connor, of Lord & Burnham Co., was 

 present and gave some valuable infor- 

 mation as to building. G. W. Marshall, 

 representing the McCallum Co., Pitts- 

 burgh, was another visitor. 



A general discussion on the coming 

 flower show was held. We have a fine 

 hall in which to hold the exhibition, 

 and all indications point to a successful 

 affair. We have plenty of room for 

 exhibits and any out-of-town florist 

 who would like to exhibit any novelty 

 he may have should write at once to 

 Albert M. Herr, Lancaster, Pa. The 

 show will be held November 6 and 7, 

 in the Hiemenz auditorium. 



Prior to the meeting fifteen of the 

 members of the club visited Willis B. 

 Girvin, of Leola, Pa., who recently 

 erected a King house, 50x180, and 

 planted it to White Perfection carna- 

 tions, which look most promising. A 

 house of Matchless was a fine sight. 

 I^oniiaffon and Jeanne Nonin mums 

 look* ,1 well. A bench of 30,000 Aspara- 

 gus plumosus were in fine order. 



Various Notes. 



D. Rohrer showed a vase of Heston 

 e, an English variety, which seems 



^ve all the requirements of a good 



"ercial mum. He also has some fine 

 globi^lar blooms of the Mary E. 



' ""s variety. A house of Chrysolora 

 e same establishment are fine, 

 recent call at M. J. Brinton's, at 



^tiana. Pa., found his large cai^na- 

 houses filled with stock of fine 

 'y, promising a heavy cut through 



'inter months. Houses of Formosa 

 and of Lilium magnificum give

 business, excess of stock, surplus growths, 

 financial headache and falling of the 

 pocketbook; it empties benches, iceboxes, 

 seed, bulb and other warehouses; cleanses 

 outputs; cures insomnia, itching palms 

 and elephant ears; builds up business and 

 sweetens life.

blooms for a daily cut the year around 

 at this place. Nephrolepis Scholzeli in 

 6-inch and 8-inch pans were superb. 



At Ira H. Landis', Paradise, Pa., 

 Matchless, Philadelphia, Eureka and 

 Mrs. Ward carnations are grown, all in 

 fine condition. Benches of freesias and 

 yellow marguerites looked fine. 



Lord & Burnham Co. offers a prize to 

 the value of $25 at the flower show, 

 which will be awarded to the local 

 grower making the best display. This 

 is the only prize that will be awarded 

 in the florists' classes outside of a blue 

 ribbon for especially meritorious dis- 

 plays, but there will be a number of 

 prizes for the amateurs. H. K. R.

The Market. 



Everyone in the trade is hoping for 

 frost, as that is what is needed to give 

 tone to the market. Still, things have 

 moved as well as one could expect un- 

 der existing conditions; not quite up 

 to last year at this time, but almosB^so. 



There is an abundance of good stock 

 of almost every kind, roses and carna- 

 tions being especially plentiful. Mums 

 are coming freely in all colors and the 

 size is good for the varieties. The pot 

 plants are coming in. Bulbs are not 

 selling so well as they were a few days 

 ago. A good frost will doubtless re- 

 store things. The demand has been 

 heavier for tulips than we have ever 

 seen it before. Tulips never have been 

 popular here for bedding. Darwins do 

 even better here than elsewhere and 

 as they are becoming known the demand 

 increases. 



Various Notes. 



The Joy Floral Co. has had a tasteful 

 window of Christmas peppers. We had 

 not supposed that these plants would 

 sell at this season, but they do. 



J. F, Corbett has pretty well cleaned 

 up on everything salable, having had 

 to cut his mums as soon as possible. At 

 his place we saw some excellent seed- 

 ling gloxinias in full bloom in 2%-inch 

 pots, some of the plants carrying three 

 and four flowers at a time. 



After redecorating, the Geny store 



looks spick-and-span. The many im- 

 provements should add greatly to their 

 trade. 



Hillcrest School Farm has bought an 

 auto for deliveries. It is said it about 

 doubles the work that can be done. 



Mclntyre Bros, are using chrysanthe- 

 mums freely in their windows this week.

The Market. 



Almost everyone is beginning to real- 

 ize that the only thing that would help 

 along business would be a few good, 

 hard frosts. Summer weather contin- 

 ues, and is remarkable for this time of 

 year. Large quantities of outdoor 

 stock are pouring into the market, 

 which consequently is glutted. Poor, 

 wretched, uneven business is what we 

 are facing. All kinds of inducements, 

 such as sales of roses, carnations and 

 violets at ridiculous prices, are offered, 

 but even these are not helping much. 

 Money is a scarce article these days, 

 and, judging from what the various 

 florists say, about every day there have 

 been more credit sales than cash cus- 

 tomers during October. 



Beautiful stock is arriving daily and 

 is offered at low figures as inducements. 

 There is a glut of carnations, especially 

 in the colored varieties, and these can 

 be purchased on the street at 10 cents 

 per dozen. The outdoor stock is ar- 

 riving in large shipments, but does not 

 move fast. Dahlias, mignonette and 

 cornflowers probably sell as well as any- 

 thing along that line. Thousands of 

 roses are arriving in good condition. 

 The Richmonds and Aaron Wards are 

 of fine, quality, as also are the Shaw- 

 yers. Violets are not moving rapidly. 

 Easter lilies are arriving in good con- 

 signments. Callas are somewhat scarce. 

 Valley is good and meets with the 

 usual demand. Chrysanthemums are in- 

 creasing in quantity each day. Golden 

 Glow seems to be slackening up some 

 but Touset, October Frost and Smith's 

 Advance move slowly. They are all of 

 good quality. Pink Garzas are wel- 

 comed greatly and are effective and 

 pretty for decorative purposes. A fair
