ThcWcekly Florists' Review. 



February 22, 1912. 



LANOASTEE, PA. 



A meeting of the Lancaster County 

 Florists ' Association was held February 

 15, with an attendance that filled the 

 Chamber of Commerce rooms. 



H. D. Eohrer & Son exhibited some 

 exceptionally fine white and yellow 

 daisies and a vase of White Wonder 

 that was far ahead of anything seen 

 at Detroit. 



Elmer Weaver and the Wheatland 

 Aquarium & Greenhouse Co. each ex- 

 hibited a vase of well grown Mrs. C. W. 

 Ward, which is a popular variety in 

 this section. 



Amos Eohrer, of Strasburg, exhibited 

 a fine vase of Mrs. T. W. Lawson, 

 a variety which he has grown continu- 

 ously since its introduction, and with 

 continuous success. 



Washington was shown in fine form 

 by Albert M. Herr. 



The new daisy, Mrs. F. Sander, was 

 exhibited by E. P. Hostetter, of Man- 

 heim. 



Three fine vases of sweet peas were 

 shown by Charles Weaver, of Eonks 

 one vase being a selection of Earliest 

 ot All, a big improvement in color. 



The paper of the evening, by H. D 

 Eohrer, with carnations as the subject, 

 was partly ^historical and partly cul- 

 tural and was both interesting and 

 instructive. The paper brought forth 

 a lively discussion. 



On motion it was decided to invite 

 iy. T. Connor, Philadelphia representa- 

 tive of the Foley Mfg. Co., to read a 

 paper on greenhouse construction at 

 the meeting of March 21. 



Lancaster county has long enjoyed 

 the distinction of being the garden spot 

 of the United States; this association 

 IS going to try to make it the floral 

 center of the United States for our 

 specialties, carnations and geraniums 

 if we all have to get under the same 

 greenhouse roof to do it. A M H 



Little Falls, N. Y.— J. O. Graham says 

 the zero weather has been quite a tax 

 on the coal pile and great watchfulness 

 13 necessary in order to be sure that 

 steam is kept up. Following a busy 

 holiday trade, this uses up some of the 

 profits, but as business generally is 

 reported as better than the average, 

 one must not complain of this cold 

 snap.
