LANCASTER, FA. 



Club Meeting. 



A meeting of the Lancaster Florists' 

 Club was held October 24. One of the 

 features of the meeting was an en- 

 deavor to get at the cost of production, 

 which brought out a lively discussion, 

 but not much in the way of practical 

 results. 



Henry Rohrer gave an interesting 

 account of a trip through the west and 

 his visits to various florists, including 

 Breitmeyer 's, of Mount Clemens, Mich.; 

 Van Bochove & Bro,, of Kalamazoo, 

 Mich.; the E. G. Hill Co., of Eichmond, 

 Ind., and others. 



The Board of Trade rooms were en- 

 gaged as a meeting place for a year, 

 and if any visiting florist is within 

 reach on the third Thursday of any 

 month he is welcome to attend the 

 meetings. 



Henry Rohrer exhibited some fine 

 chrysanthemums; so, also, did Rudolf 

 Nagel, and a fine exhibit of chrysan- 

 themums and carnations was made by 

 Mr. Spinner, gardener for the Locher 

 estate. 



Various Notes. 



At Albert M. Herr's place carna- 

 tions have been relegated to one large 

 house and will be grown for rooted cut- 

 tings only. The other houses are filled 

 with stock plants of geraniums, of 

 which he grows only three varieties, 

 Nutt, Ricard and Poitevine. Of these 

 there are five houses full of rooted cut- 

 tings in various stages. He recently 

 bought his father's place and has torn 

 down all the houses thereon and erected 

 one large house, intended eventually as 

 a start for a range of cut flower houses, 

 but used this season for coleus, of which 

 he has some twenty varieties now in 

 4-inch pots for stock. L. 



Earlville, m. — Floyd Weaver, for- 

 merly of Pawpaw, 111., has opened a 

 flower shop in the front part of the 

 Kossert store building, in this town. 

 The formal opening was held Novem- 

 ber 2. 



Eoswell, N. M.— Thos. A. Gettys, pro- 

 prietor of the Alameda Greenhouses, 

 has offered to assist in the beautifying 

 of the courthouse park by presenting, 

 each year, 250 bedding plants to the 

 city and the same number to the 

 county.
