Every seat in the Chamber of Com- 

 merce rooms was occupied and camp 

 stools called into requisition for the 

 meeting of the Lancaster County Flo- 

 rists' Club November 21. The subject 

 of the evening was: "Does It Pay to 

 Grow Chrysanthemums! " M. J. Brin- 

 ton, of Christiana, and B. F. Barr, of 

 Lancaster, opened the discussion. Mr. 

 Brinton told how they handle mums 

 with other crops and, in conclusion, 

 said: "Chrysanthemums pay; anything 

 that the public uses can be made to 

 pay just as soon as high quality is pro- 

 duced at a moderate cost. The public 

 want chrysanthemums and will pay for 

 good ones." Mr. Barr said that his 

 experience had been varied; sometimes 

 he had found them profitable, sometimes 

 not. "It has been our custom the last 

 few years to grow as few varieties as 

 possible, each variety being scheduled 

 to bloom at a certain season. The va- 

 rieties we consider most profitable from 

 a retail point of view are as follows: 

 For the early varieties. Golden Glow, 

 yellow; Polly Rose, white; Glory of 

 Pacific, pink. Unaka is considered a 

 great favorite by many, but with us it 

 was a failure. For the mid-season va- 

 rieties we grow Eobert Halliday, yel- 

 low; White Cloud, white; McNiece, 

 pink, and Bonnaffon, yellow. For the 

 late varieties we grow both yellow and 

 white Jerome Jones, Lynnwood Hall, 

 white; Maud Dean, pink, and Rosette, 

 pink." 



This was followed by a general dis- 

 cussion, in which many good points 

 were brought out. Mr. Nagle had made 

 a success of the early varieties with 

 the use of sash to cover an outdoor 

 space. Mr. Law found the following up 

 with carnations from 4-inch pots a suc- 

 cess where Golden Glow was the variety 

 used. S. S. Skidelsky was a visitor and 

 advised the growing of some of the 

 better new varieties, as the larger grow- 

 ers are discarding old varieties for new 

 ones, and they certainly know what 

 they are doing. 



It is proposed to have a visiting tour 

 about once a month during the growing 

 season, the first one being November 

 .30, to Manheim, some thirty signifying 

 their intention to go. A. M. H.
