A JERSEY RAMBLE. 



Here it was that the eighteen autos lined up while the jolly party hail their luncheon 

 On Friday, the day following tlie ad- 



journment of the convention, there 

 toolf place one of the most enjoyable 

 recreative events in connection with 

 any S. A.-F, meeting — a "pleasure and 

 profit trip" to Elizabeth, N. J., where 

 the Hitchings & Co. factory is located, 

 and thence through the "New Jersey 

 Berkshires," calling at the new Duck- 

 ham-Pierson greenhouse range in 

 Madison, L. B. Coddington, Murray 

 Hill, historical shrines in Morristown, 

 Chas. H. Totty's, Madison, and other 

 points of Interest. 



As foreshadowed in our advance 

 program of the convention attractions, 

 this outing on invitation of Hitchings 

 & Co. was one of the most enjoyable 

 features of the week. There were 

 about one hundred and twenty-five in 

 the party. After the visit to the 

 Hitchings factory the guests were en- 

 tertained at luncheon at the Elks' 

 Club in Elizabeth. 



In his publicity address before the 

 S. A. F., Mr. Therkildson said that 

 "The public of today is a picture-read- 

 ing public," which is undoubtedly 

 true, so we present the accompanying 

 pictures in lieu of a more extended 

 reading account of this memorable 

 occasion.
