NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB 

 OUTING. 



The annual outing of the New York 

 Florists' Club, on July 1, at Duer's 

 Whitestone Park, was by far the most 

 successful entertainment of the kind 

 the club has ever enjoyed. Over 450,, 

 exclusive of babies, went on the morn- 

 ing boat and the attendance was 

 swelled by many who arrived by train, 

 auto, etc., from Long Island points. 

 The day was an ideal one in every 

 respect, the games were well contest- 

 ed, Duer proved himself to be a model 

 caterer and host and everything was 

 done on schedule time. The prizes 

 were given out on the ■ return moon- 

 light sail, amidst great enthusiasm. 

 Only the highest praise for Mr. Bun- 

 yard and his assistants in preparing 

 for and carrying out this successful 

 event is heard on all sides. Follow- 

 ing is the list of prizes and winners:

 advantage as has been the case in 

 past years. The President of the

 awarded several decorations as is the 

 custom. The grand prix d'honneur 

 was won by M. Parent for forced 

 fruits, the 2nd grand prix was awarded
