DES MOINES, lA. 



The second annual picnic of the 

 Des Moines Florists' Club was held at 

 Union park, July 28, and a fine time 

 was had. All pre.?ent enjoyed the out- 

 ing and those that did "not attend 

 missed a good picnic and fine feast. 

 Various games were played by both old 

 and young. Twenty-four sat down to 

 a well-filled supper table, after which 

 the convention was the main topic, 

 and we expect most of the boys will 

 attend. J. T. b. F.
