During Recess 



New York Florists' Club. 



The annual outing of the New York 

 Florists' Club was held on Wednesday, 

 July 1. The party numbered 275, and 

 the sail to Glen Island was much en- 

 joyed. A number of members usually 

 prominent on this occasion were ab- 

 sent, due. probably, to the fact of the 

 outing following so closely on the ex- 

 cursion of the Plant Growers' Associa- 

 tion. The occasion was somewhat 

 marred by rain in the afternoon, but 

 the various games, races, etc, were all 

 carried through with the exception of 

 the baseball game. The committee in 

 charge worked valiantly to secure for 

 everyone a good time. 



Among the prominent guests pres- 

 ent were R. Vincent. Jr., and Mrs. Vin- 

 cent.

The annual picnic of the Greek- 

 American Florists of New York took

 a fine time.
