 ately after the bowling and continued 

 until after 1 A. M. 



The following morning after break- 

 fast, the party enjoyed a boat ride on 

 the Delaware River through the Gap. 

 and in the afternoon boarded special 

 trolley cars for a trip in the one direc- 

 tion to Stroudsburg and in the other 

 direction to Portland. The party left 

 the Gap at 5.23. arriving in New York 

 shortly after 7. all voting that the 

 outing had been a thorough success, 

 all having apparently enjoyed a very 

 good time. 



New York Florists' Club. 



The New York Florists' Club hap- 

 pened to select the hottest day of the 

 season for their annual outing, Tues- 

 day July 1. It was broiling in the city 

 and, although it was warm enough 

 everywhere, yet the harbor breezes 

 and the shade of Witzel's Point grove 

 ■were a most welcome comfort on such 

 a day and it was a record crowd that 

 took advantage of the opportunity to 

 enjoy them. 



The coming of the Glorious Fourth 

 on our regular mailing day compels 

 us to get this Issue out one day earlier 

 than usual, consequently wc are unable 

 to give results of the games or other 

 details of the outing but these will be 

 fully recorded In our next issue. 



The annual picnic of the I>ancaster 

 (Pa.) Florists' Club will be held at 

 Hershey, Pa., July 15. The club will 

 be the guests of Milton S. Hershey. 



ROSE MME. CECIL BRUNNER. 



The advertisement of that dainty 

 little rose, Mme. Cecil Brunner, re- 

 minds of the time last spring when 

 Mr. McLellan had a box of sprays of 

 this variety sent to New York under 

 the name of Mignon. The flowers 

 came by express all the way from Cali- 

 fornia in wonderful perfection and re- 

 ceived unbounded admiration. The 

 success of Irish Fire Flame last season 

 is another convincing evidence of the 

 popular leaning towards these dainty 

 rose buds and the demand that Is sure 

 to develop as soon as the growers are 

 in a position to supply them in quan- 

 tity. They are mighty good stock to 

 invest In.
