The Weekly Florists' Review. 



AfGUST 18, 1891-. 



CHICAGO. 



Club Outinr. 



The excursion of the Florists' Club 

 to Milwaukee last Thursday proved an 

 exceedingly enjoyable affair. The day 

 was ideal for such a trip and the er- 

 ratic and uncertain body of water 

 known as Lake Michigan behaved it- 

 self admirably. The party of florists 

 and members of their families num- 

 bered about 150. All went prepared to' 

 have a jolly time and anyone who 

 did not realize his expectations to the 

 fullest extent is yet to be found. But 

 while the Chicagoans were enjoying 

 the delightful ride up the lake on the 

 deck of the Virginia, the Milwaukee 

 people were in considerable distress. 

 They had requested that before the 

 boat left a telegram be sent them tell- 

 ing just how many were in the party. 

 It was duly sent reading, "About one 

 hundred and fifty." When it reached 

 them it read "About ten hundred and 

 fifty," and the Milwaukee boys were 

 not only worried as to how they wtre 

 to take care of such a party, but won- 

 dered how such an enormous numlter 

 of florists had been got together. They 

 finally had the message repeated back 

 and the error was then discovered, 

 with the result of moving a load of 

 trouble from their minds. 



On arriving at Milwaukee the party 

 was taken charge of by a committee 

 of local florists consisting of Messrs. 

 W. H. Ellis, A. Klokner, N. Zweifel. 

 Wm. Edlefsen. F. P. Dilger. G.W. Ring- 

 rose, B. Gregory. C. B. Whitnall, ('. 

 Hoppenrath, C. C. Pollworth, F. Men- 

 der, F. Holton, H. Hunkel. As the 

 boat landed a band was discovered 

 playing a welcoming air on the deck 

 and trolley cars were standing near 

 by ready for the party. After a long 

 and pleasant ride around the city a 

 stop was made at the great Pabst 

 brewery and the party was escorted 

 through some of the departments, in- 

 cluding the department where the 

 product is emptied out of glasses into 

 the visitor. Unfortunately the time 

 was too short to see the place thor- 

 oughly, and what was seen was so in- 

 teresting that it whetted the appetite 

 for more. However, each visitor was 

 supplied, with a little book containing 

 views of all the various departments. 



The ride back to the boat was by a 

 shorter route and soon good-byes were 

 said, the Milwaukee hosts were 

 cheered and the big steamer started on 

 the return trip. The ride back was 

 even pleasanter than the one going. 

 Singing was in order on the return 

 trip and some excellent vocal music 

 was heard from various groups. The 

 universal verdict was that the Milwau- 

 kee trip was all right. H. Rohrer 

 and son, Lancaster, Pa.; Peter Schutz 

 and wife. Hammond, Ind., and Geo. 

 Souster and wife. Elgin, 111., were 

 among the out-of-town florists that 

 were with the party.
