[Continued from page 590.] 

 herd of Jerseys, among which was a 

 gentleman cow that was three feet by 

 eight feet, and nothing but the bluest 

 of blood run through his veins. On 

 our return voyage we were shown a 

 very luxuriant growth of Canadian 

 thistles, which Mr. Coles said he 

 showed for variety only. Now we come 

 to the turnip patch; after a brief and 

 convincing talk by Mr. Coles as to why 

 his turnips were better than others 

 we were invited to partake sumptuous- 

 ly of the watery vegetables. This all 

 hands did, and the scheme worked so 

 well that Mr. Coles could not withhold 

 his hilarity, and it was soon whispered 

 around that it was a shrewd move to 

 fill the crowd up on turnips and avoid 

 the complete annihilation of his 

 Brahmas. At this, everyone said the 

 turnips tasted bitter anyway, and at 

 once went into training to offset the 

 desired effect. How well this was done 

 can be better told by Mrs. Coles, who 

 had prepared a most elaborate dinner. 

 All were seated at once and for more 

 than an hour there was a joyous 

 florists' feast, after which cigars were 

 passed and many kind wishes extended 

 to the hostess. 



As some had to take early trains 

 home, the "Dewey" was again brought 

 out. After a safe landing at the depot 

 of those who took early trains the 

 remainder retired to a bowling alley 

 where two hours was spent in bowling, 

 and some new records made. Mr. Coles 

 made the highest score of any, but the 

 visiting florists wanted him to do this 

 as they did not think it would look 

 well, being his guests, to beat him in 

 his own town. We won't mention the 

 low man. Now comes the time to 

 separate, and a vote of thanks was 

 given Mr. Coles, and everyone re- 

 turned home feeling that if more 

 florists had attended they could have 



again entered on their labors with a 

 lighter heart. 



Among those present were the fol- 

 lowing: Stuart & Haugh, Anderson, 

 Ind.; Harry Lemon, of E. G. Hill & 

 Co., Richmond. Ind.; Ed Bissell, Mar- 

 ion, Ind.; Mr. Tinker, Peru. Ind.; Myer 

 Heller, of South Park Floral Co., New- 

 castle, Ind. ; Henry Rieman, John 

 Hartje. John Heidenreich. Ernst 

 Huckreide. E. A. Nelson, R. A. Mc- 

 Keand, J. T. Huntington, of Indian- 

 apolis. J. T. HUNTINGTON.

Ed. Florists' Review: Noting your 

 reference to Montreal outdoor flowers 

 picked October 16th, we wish to show 

 what we "dwellers by the sea" can do 

 at this season of the year. In the lot 

 herewith we send Kaiserin and Papa 

 Gontiers, Cactus dahlias, carnations, 

 sweet peas, heliotrope, cannas, agera- 

 tum and zinnias. We could also send 

 marigolds, hollyhocks, verbenas, nas- 

 turtiums, stocks, petunias, phloxes, 

 etc., but presume they are still in evi- 

 dence with you. J. H. HARRIS.
