The Florists' Review 



Mabch 26, 1914. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



Club Meeting. 



On Thursday evening, March 19, the 

 Lancaster County Florists' Associa- 

 tion met in the Chamber of Commerce 

 rooms. The ladies were also present. 



E. Morrell, superintendent of the 

 landscape gardening department of the 

 Berryhill Nursery Co., gave an illus- 

 trated talk on "Hardy Plants, " speak- 

 ing in particular of hardy flowers for 

 cutting. The pictures thrown on the 

 screen were fine. He spoke of the de- 

 sirability of having an abundant sup- 

 ply of peonies, irises, pyrethrums, and 

 the endless list that more of us should 

 be acquainted with. 



Mrs. Albert M. Herr, on behalf of 

 the ladies, expressed their appreciation 

 of meeting with us. 



The ladies were consulted as to their 

 choice of a place in which to hold our 

 annual picnic, in July. A vote showed 

 Wildcat, on the Susquehanna, and Pen- 

 ryn to be equal favorites. The matter 

 will be decided at the next meeting. 



A special committee, with H. A. 

 Schroyer as chairman, reported that 

 the Conestoga Traction Co. has agreed 

 to carry flowers on any car leaving 

 Lancaster with the dispatcher's O. K. 

 thereon, and that florists residing in 

 the country had the same privilege 

 without having the O. K. mark. 



An invitation was received from the 

 Scranton Florists' Club to visit its 

 spring flower show, March 31 and 

 April 1. 



Two new members were elected. 



Preceding the meeting, twenty-one 

 florists visited the Hostetter establish- 

 ments, at Manheim. The Hostetters 

 are wholesale growers of cut flowers. 

 Their specialties are carnations, sweet 

 peas, snapdragons, yellow and white 

 marguerites, l*rimula Forbesi and As- 

 paragus Sprengeri. E. P. Hostetter 

 has houses of a white sport of Prim- 

 ula Forbesi, which is a valuable ac- 

 quisition to the list of spring cut flow- 

 ers. 



The next meeting will be held April 

 16. At 1:45 p. m. on that date the 

 club will leave Center Square, on the 

 Coatesville trolley, to visit Elmer and 

 Charles Weaver and Ira Landis, at 

 Paradise. The meeting will follow in 

 the Chamber of Commerce rooms at 

 7:30. 



Various Notes. 



A report of the death of Isaac W. 

 Hoffman, of Elizabethtown, Pa., a 

 member of the Lancaster County Flo- 

 rists' Association, will be found in this 

 week's obituary column.

AND THE FACT THAT 

 WE PAY THE EXPRESS 



EVERY PLANT that we send out is a good one, as letters from satisfied 

 customers from all parts of the country abundantly prove. The reason 

 that our plants reach you in better condition than plants from other 

 greenhouses is because of our scientific packing, also the fact of their being 

 raised at a high altitude, 5721 feet above sea level, which gives them lots of 

 fibrous roots. They start quickly. They are not soft.
