The Florists^ Review 



Afbil 24, 1813. 



LANCASTEB. PA. 



Twenty-five members of the Lancas- 

 ter County Florists' Club made a visit 

 April 17 to the greenhouses and seed 

 establishment of Geo. W. Park at La 

 Park, Pa. The greenhouses are in 

 charge of E. W. Byer, who grows 600 

 varieties of plants, in addition to the 

 immense lot of bulbous and hard-wooded 

 stock found on the grounds, which is 

 quite an undertaking for one man. 



The seed houses are a genuine hive 

 of industry, with a modern printing es- 

 tablishment turning out 600,000 copies 

 of Park 's Floral Magazine every month. 

 Some idea of the business done here 

 may be formed from the fact that one 

 day's mail brought orders for over 500 

 tuberous begonias, that more than 

 1,000,000 gladiolus bulbs are sold at re- 

 tail by mail every year and every im- 

 aginable variety of seed and mailable 

 bulbs are sold in the same proportion. 



Beturning to Lancaster, the club held 

 a meeting, at which all members but 

 four were present. S. S. Pennock, of 

 the Pennock-Meehan Co., was the essay- 

 is1{. His subject was "The Faults of 

 thf Grower in Growing and Consigning 

 Hie Stock." It was exceptionally well 

 handled, and was followed by a discus- 

 sion that has practically put an en'd to 

 the pickling of stock in this section, 

 and has determined the grower who 

 grows less than 5,000 plants for bloom 

 to stick to from one to three varieties, 

 so that he may have them in reasonable 

 quantity. 



Thos. R. Fries read a paper on Easter 

 stock, which was well received and dis- 

 cussed. 



A committee was appointed to select 

 a place for the summer picnic and make 

 all arrangements. 



Another committee was appointed to 

 work out a cooperative system of buy- 

 ing and report at the meeting in Sep- 

 tember for action. 



After the meeting a large delegation 

 escorted Mr. Pennock, James Brown, of 

 Coatesville, and C. P. Bernard, of North- 

 brook, through Lancaster's "White 

 Wb^" to the station. A. M. H. 



Anderson, Ind. — The benches in the 

 greenhouses of B. H. Klus & Son were 

 under four feet of water during the re- 

 cent flood, but most of the stock is com- 

 ing since it was cleaned up. 



NoTTistown, Pa. — Wm. H. Catanese 

 says this is proving to be the best sea- 

 son he ever had. He advertised ex- 

 tensively for Easter and had so much 

 business he had to get another store 

 and a lot of extra help. The benefit 

 of the advertising has been apparent in 

 the business done since Easter.
