LANCASTER, PA. 



Club Outing. 



March 12 twenty-two members of the 

 Lancaster County Florists' Club jour- 

 neyed to Chester county and visited 

 florists there. This number would have 

 been doubled but for the fact that 

 many of our rural members were un- 

 able to make troll»y connections so 

 early in the mornin|[. The first stop 

 was made at Brandywine Summit, i^ 

 where Alban Harvey & Sons met us 

 with sleighs, which conveyed us to 

 their greenhouses. Their new Lord & 

 Burnham iron-frame house, 72x500, was 

 the center of attraction. It is planted 

 to winter-blooming, orchid-flowering 

 Spencer sweet peas. They were planted 

 early in October and have been pro- 

 ducing quantities of blooms for the 

 last five weeks. The present cut is 15,- 

 000 per day. The vines are possibly 

 ten feet high and loaded with blooms, 

 many stems measuring fifteen inches 

 in length and having four flowers each. 

 The principal colors grown are white, 

 lavender, pink and white, as well as 

 a beautiful deep shade of pink. 



Several houses of regular winter- 

 blooming peas, through blooming, are 

 being cleared of vines and the space 

 planted to Comet tomatoes. Houses of 

 the standard varieties of carnations 

 were found in fine condition. After the 

 inspection of the greenhouses, Mr. and 

 Mrs. Harvey served refreshments and 

 the kind hospitality shown us will al- 

 ways remain a pleasant memory. 



Our next stop was at Keunett Square, 

 where we were met by Messrs. Wm. 

 Swayne and Palmer. At Mr. Swayne's 

 place we saw lupines of extraordinary 

 quality, pink stocks that took every- 

 one's eye, houses of snapdragon and 

 benches of fine Rosette and Victory 

 carnations. A house of potted calla 

 lilies, plunged, was showing high qual- 

 ity blooms. 



We then called at Palmer & Sons', 

 where carnations are grown exclusively, 

 with the Wards as leaders. Stock was 

 found in fine form. Comments were 

 heard on the light, clean houses here. 

 Our last call was at Ed. Marshall's, at 

 Willowdale. His carnations are in 

 splendid condition and show evidence 

 of a heavy cut during the winter 

 months. Gloriosa was seen in fine 

 form, and judging from the stubs left 

 from cutting the blooms, it has been 

 a most profitable variety at this place. 

 Beacon, Victory, White Perfection, 

 Mrs. Ward and Pink Delight are the 

 principal varieties grown. A bench of 

 a crimson seedling was admired. 



Our party divided at this place, some 

 continuing to Percy Barnard's place, 

 and the remainder returning home via 

 W^est Chester. Our thanks are due to 

 Elmer J. Weaver, of Ronks, and James 

 Brown, of Coatesville, for their effi- 

 cient services in personally conduct- 

 ing the party.
