LANCASTER, PA. 



The Market. 



Last week business kept up iu yood 

 shape, in spite of the intensely hot and 

 dry weather. • Golden Gate, Eichmond, 

 Bride, My Maryland, Sunburst and Kil- 

 larney roses are of almost as good qual- 

 ity as one would get in high season, but 

 carnations are getting smaller and 

 smaller every day. The outdoor flowers 

 keep the market well filled; the hard}' 

 varieties, sweet peas and snapdragons 

 are ready sellers. 



There has been a lot of funeral work 

 in circulation. Some large weddings 

 took place last week and June 19 the 

 annual commencement exercises of the 

 nurses ' school of the Lancaster General 

 hospital drew a large attendance and 

 created some demand for flowers. 



Club Meeting. 



The Lancaster Florists' Club held its 

 regular monthly meeting with an at- 

 tendance of about thirty members. One 

 of the finest collections of hardy flow- 

 ers ever brought together in Lancaster 

 county was shown at the Chamber of 

 Commerce rooms, where the meeting 

 was held. The exhibitors were H. D. 

 Rohrer, B. F. Barr, A. M. Herr, Rudolph 

 Nagel, Fritz Spinner, J. P. Siebold and 

 H. B. Weaver. A paper on hardy flow- 

 ers of commercial value for cutting for 

 Memorial day was read by H. K. Rohrer. 



The H. F. Michell Co., of Philadel- 

 phia, had a fine exhibit of their new 

 geranium, Helen Michell, and a talk 

 regarding its qualities was given by D. 

 J. Keohane, representing the firm. The 

 club voted a substantial contribution to- 

 ward erecting a memorial to W. R. 

 Smith. 



The annual picnit will be held at 

 Hershey, Pa., Tuesday, July 15, when 

 the florists will be the guests of Milton 

 S. Hershey. The next meeting will be 

 held in August, and asters and gladioli 

 will be discussed.

 heim, of tfie Botanical Decorating Co., 

 Chicago; Mr. Meyer, representing Neuer 

 & Hoffmann, New York; John H. 

 Tasker, manager of the Walton Floral 

 Co., Rice 's Landing, Pa., and D. J, Keo-
