M em orial P lan n ed For Sydney C roft George Funk, local lily grow er, who won the blue ribbon on his exhibit of Croft lilies at the California Flower show, held at Oakland, the week of April 28. i eport ed on the show’ to a joint meeting of the Croft Lily Grow ers and Del Norte Growers As sociation, at Smith River last week. It was estimated that 150 growers were present. Earl Carson told of his recent 9000-mile trip to southern Creole lily fields in Louisiana and to other southern states. Southern growers, said Mr. Carson, are having their problems, too. The freeze this spring, and diseases, have made serious inroads on their production hopes. He re ported that southern growers, as a rule, quite independent when it comes to marketing their bulbs. If the price doesn’t suit, they proceed to dump the bulbs in the numerous bayous, or canals that are common in that area. Lily-raising there is much of a sideline with many. Wm. Fisher, president of the Del Norte growers, reported on the recent meeting held at Port land between growers and mem bers of the American Wholesale Bulb Dealers Association. Action was taken on the m at ter of the dedication of the Syd ney Croft memorial which is lo cated on Hwy 101 ( near Harbor. A committee of 15 was appointed to make necessary arrangements for a program to be held soon. Details, when completed, will be released through the Pilot. The first meeting of this committee was at the W. G. Hoagland home. Monday.
