The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



ATTGUST 9, IJKK). 



CHICAGO TO NEW YORK, 



The Chicago Florists' Club's Committee on 

 Transportation to the New York Convention of 

 the Society of American Florists, to be held Aug. 

 21, 22, 23 and 24. has arranged with the Lake Shore 

 and Michigan Southern Railway for a special 

 train, which will be vestibuled, and will contain 

 as many Pullman sleepers as may be necessary, a 

 buffet smoking car. a dining car and a day coach. 



The running time of this train will be as follows: 



Leave Chicago, :i p. m., Sunday, Aug. lt>. 



Arrive Niagara Falls, ":Wa. m., Monday, Aug. 30. 



Leave Niagara Falls. 'JM a. m , Monday. Aug. 2D. 



Leave Buffalo, 10:20 a. m., Monday, Aug. 20. 



Arrive Grand Cent. Sta., N.Y., '.' p. m., Monday, Aug. 20. 



The railroad fare for the round trip will be $26.70 

 on the certificate plan. The sleeping car fare will 

 be $5.00 for a double berth to New York. But if 

 sleeper accommodations are desired to Buffalo 

 only, sleeper tickets from Chicago to Buffalo may 

 be had for $3.00 and the remainder of the distance 

 travelled in the day coach. 



At Niagara Falls an hour will be devoted to a 

 trip around the Gorge Route Electric Line, which 

 on the American side runs for miles below the 

 falls along the rapids, whirlpool, etc. Special 

 trolley cars will await the arrival of our special 

 train. 



Those not wishing to take the trip through the 

 gorge can devote their time to seeing the falls in 

 any way thev desire. 



Returning from New York the members of the 

 partv have the option of returning by all rail 

 route, or of taking the boat as far as Albany. 

 And as a daylight ride up the Hudson is an ex- 

 ceedingly eniovable trip, the majority will no 

 doubt take advantage of it. The boat leaves New 

 York, foot of Desbrosses street at 8:40 a. m. daily, 

 reaching Albany at 6-.i0 p. m. A west-bound tram 

 leaves Albany at 10 p. m.. which arrives Chicago 

 at9p. m.next day. To any preferring the lake 

 trip Buffalo to Cleveland the privilege of taking 

 the C. & B. Transit Co.'s boat is afforded. 



Berths may be reserved in the special sleepers 

 bv addressing L. F. Vosburgh, City Passenger and 

 Ticket Agent, Lake Shore and Michigan Southern 

 Railway. 18o Clark street, Chicago, who will also 

 supply any other information desired. Railroad 

 tickets may be had at above address or at the 

 Lake Shore Station, Van Buren street. 



In reserving berths be careful to state whether 

 you wish a berth to New York, or to Buffalo only, 

 and mention that you desire to travel in the Flor- 

 ists' Special Train. 



By vote of the Chicago Florists' Club the Com- 

 mittee was instructed to invite all florists in the 

 west to travel with the Chicago party and to share 

 the advantages secured by the Committee. We 

 shall be pleased to have your company on this 

 trip. The New York Convention promises to be 

 a memorable one. and every tiorist who can possi- 

 bly do so should go. 



Please make your berth reservations as early as 

 possible.
