 the most extensive ever held. 170 

 prizes were awarded for flowers and 

 vegetables, amounting to $400, of 

 which $200 is contributed by the Com-

Fruit and vegetable canning that 

 outclassed the work of many experi-

 Dinan and William Burke, took fii«t 

 prize in the annual flower show of the 

 Wakefield Improvement Association.

 boys' own gardens. Young Dinan's 

 father is gardener on the C. N. Win-

 ington store of the S. S. Pennock Co.,

 ing his vacation at W'ildwood, N. .1. 



William F. Gude had the honor of 

 walking on President Wilson's left at 

 the head of the parade on September 4 

 in honor of the men who have been 

 drafted for service in the new Na- 

 tional Army. As with the Prepared- 

 ness Parade last year, Mr. Gude was

About seventy of neighbors and 

 friends in the vicinity of his place of 

 business at Olney, Philadelphia, took 

 .lohn Kuhn by surprise on Thursday, 

 August 30. and haled him to the spa- 

 clous dining room of the private club 

 at Schuetzen Park and treated him to 

 a fine banquet. So nobler fellow than 

 John Kuhn ever lived. He had his 

 hard struggles early, but things came 

 his way at last. And all the boys think 

 so much of him that they had to ex- 

 press their feelings which they did. 

 It was a festive occasion that will long 

 be remembered. 



J. H. Small & Sons were the deco- 

 rators at the Hotel Willard on the oc- 

 casion of the banquet to Viscount Ishii 

 and the Japanese Mission. The cen- 

 ter of the table was a miniature Jap- 

 anese garden, the outer edge outlined 

 with hydrangeas. Each lady guest was 

 presented with a corsage of jiink roses 

 and each gentleman with a bouton- 

 niere of red and white carnations. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Florists' Club of W'ashington was held 

 on September 4. Coming on the day 

 of the parade, nearly the entire meet- 

 ing was given over to talking of that 

 event and of the show-ing made by the 

 young men who have been taken from 

 among the florists. An Invitation was 

 extended to the members by Edward 

 S. Schmid to be his guests some time 

 later in the year. Due announcement 

 will l)e made shortly.
