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.
