IIORTICULTUEE 



July 20, 191S 



During Recess 



GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' CULB 

 OF BOSTON 



The grand annual picnic of the club 

 will be held at Cunningham Park, 

 East Milton, on Wednesday, July 24, 

 1918. 



This will 138 the second picnic held 

 since our country entered the great 

 European War. Over thirty members 

 have joined the colors, quite a number 

 of whom were present at the picnic 

 of 1917 and participated in the athlet- 

 ic events. While we will miss them 

 greatly on the coming occasion, we 

 are proud that they have answered 

 their country's call for men to save 

 democracy and civilization, and we 

 know that it is their earnest wish 

 that we should hold our picnic as 

 usual. 



The sporting events will start 

 promptly at 10 o'clock, and the list is a 

 very attractive one. The fallowing 

 members will have charge of the va- 

 rious events:
