The Weekly Florists' Review* 



May 2, 1912. 



STATE COLLEGE, PA. 



The second annual flower show was 

 held April 20, in the spacious head 

 house of the new greenhouses at the 

 Pennsylvania State College, under the 

 auspices of the Department of Horti- 

 culture and the Penn State Crab Apple 

 Club. It is estimated that nearly 2,000 

 people visited the exhibition. 



The exhibition was artistically staged 

 under the direction of Prof. J. W. 

 Gregg, who is in charge of floriculture 

 and landscape gardening and who so 

 successfully inaugurated the custom a 

 year ago. With the success of this sec- 

 ond exhibition it is safe to say that it 

 must now be considered one of the great 

 social and educational events of the col- 

 lege year. While the exhibit from the 

 college greenhouses, consisting of ten 

 varieties of carnations, Easter lilies, or- 

 chids, snapdragons, geraniums, palms, 

 ferns, and floral pieces representing stu- 

 dent work, was artistically arranged, 

 the real success of the show was due to 

 the cooperation of some of the largest 

 and best commercial growers in the 

 state. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. sent 

 a display of roses and carnations, per- 

 haps the largest and, as a whole, the 

 finest exhibit in the show. J. L. Dillon, 

 Bloomsburg, staged some excellent Rich- 

 mond, Killarney, White Killamey and 

 My Maryland, while the stems and 

 blooms of the Enchantress, White En- 

 chantress and Rose-pink Enchantress, 

 Bassett and Winsor were excellent. 

 S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, 

 staged their usual high quality of roses 

 and carnations. Myers & Samtman, 

 Wyndmoor, were again on hand with 

 American Beauties and Hilda. The 

 Florex Gardens, North Wales, were 

 heavy exhibitors of roses, including 

 American Beauty, all of them of a 

 quality that won for them a prominent 

 place in the show. Senator Heacock, 

 Wyncote, sent some of his famous roses. 

 Evenden Bros., Williamsport, staged a 

 fine exhibit of Gov. Herrick violets, 

 sweet peas, swainsona, alyssum, roses 

 and carnations, which included an un- 

 named white seedling that attracted 

 much attention. Oakwood Rose Gar- 

 dens, Oil City, sent some excellent 

 Bride, Maid and Richmond, while their 

 White Killarney and Killarney demand- 

 ed more than one look. Fred C. Greene, 

 Oil City, showed a fine plant of Spira?a 

 Gladstone and the New Jersey Experi- 

 ment Station, at New Brunswick, sent 

 some fine Maryland roses from plants 

 grown in the same soil for three years, 

 entirely with chemical fertilizers.' Ru- 

 dolph Kaiser, Annapolis, Md., staged 

 some excellent snapdragons, Bradt car- 

 nations and smilax.
