CHICAGO AND NEW YORK, AUGUST JO, J899. 



No. 89. 



NEW YORK TO DETROIT. 



The committee in charge of the 

 transportation for New York and vi- 

 cinity has made definite arrangements 



to go by the celebrated Black Diamond 

 Express, Lehigh Valley railroad, leav- 

 ing foot of Cortlandt street, New York, 

 at 12 o'clock (noon) on Monday, the 

 14th of August, reaching Detroit the 



President W. N. Rudd, who will preside at the Detroit Convention of the Society of 



American Florists. 



next morning at 6:55 a. m. The beau- 

 tiful scenery of the renowned Lehigh 

 and Susquehanna valleys by daylight, 

 in a special car, -will, we feel sure, in- 

 duce many to go who otherwise would 

 not. 



The rates are one full fare going and 

 one-third fare returning, on the certifi- 

 cate plan, or $13.50 for the fare going 

 and $4.50 for the return; in addition 

 the sleeping car fare from Buffalo to 

 Detroit is $2. Delegates wishing to 

 save themselves trouble may secure 

 tickets both for train and sleeper by 

 remitting $15.50 to John N. May, Sum- 

 mit, N. J. 



The committee's work will be great- 

 ly facilitated by delegates notifying in 

 advance and as soon as possible their 

 intention of going. 



As the New York Florists* Club has 

 decided to invite the S. A. F. to New 

 York in 1900, the members will realize 

 the great importance of having a full 

 delegation at the forthcoming conven- 

 tion. 



For the New Jersey delegates who 

 may prefer to board the train en route, 

 it stops at Newark at 12:28 p. m., 

 South Plainfield at 12:51 p. m., and 

 South Bethlehem at 2:06 p. m.

 May, Committee.

 troit convention, to be held August

 cago on the Wabash Continental Lim- 

 ited at 12:00 o'clock noon, August 14,

 arranged for a certain number of re- 

 clining chair cars to be set aside for 

 their exclusive use.
