MORRISTOWN, N. J. 



The second annual dinner of 

 Morris County Gardners and 

 Florists took place on Mon 

 day evening at the Washington 

 Hotel. About fifty members partici- 

 pated with a number of invited guests. 

 Mr. P. O'Mara officiated as toast- 

 master, and with that important chair 

 so ably filled it goes without saying 

 the "fun was fast and furious." 



A long list of toasts was honored 

 and responded to as follows: 



"Our Society." President Duckham; 

 "Our Country," Mr. Pearson; "Morris 

 County," Mr. C. B. Gee; "Sister So- 

 cieties," Mr. Geo. Smith, Orange; 

 "American Florists," Mr. J. N. May 

 "Cut Flowers," Mr. A. Herrington; 

 "Orchids," Mr. J. E. Lager; "New 

 Plants, Mr. F. L. Atkins; "The 

 Press," Mr. J. W. Withers. The 

 lighter side of the evening's entertain- 

 ment was well sustained by Messrs. 

 A. H. Lucas and S. McCullom with 

 songs and recitations. 



Among the decorations contributed 

 by members special mention must be 

 made of the magnificent vase of Mr. 

 May's new Carnation Olympia. It was 

 voted to be honestly worth $35,000 and 

 with a generosity befitting the occas- 

 ion Mr. May distributed the flowers at 

 the close of the evening to all such 

 members as desired to graft them up- 

 on stocks they had at home. Joking 

 aside, however, Olympia is a beauty,
