THE VEKV NEWEST AND QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTROYING WEEDS, 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid aljsolutely destroys all weeds and other growth wherever applied, 

 and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones for a year and 

 thus saves a great deal ol time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away 

 of the weeds is required. 

 We manufacture the strongest line of DISINFECTANTS on the market.

New York Florists' Club. 



The time honored annual dinner, 

 this year remodeled into a dinner 

 dance, or "din dan" in the vernacular, 

 took place on Saturday evening, April 

 8, in the ball room of the Biltmore 

 Hotel. According to the verdict of all 

 who attended this was the finest and 

 most enjoyable affair in the club's his- 

 tory and Messrs. DeForest and Sheri 

 dan, chairman and secretary respec- 

 tively, with their committee associates, 

 are entitled to display each a big red 

 feather in their caps. The centre of 

 the big hall was reserved for the danc- 

 ing and the tables were arranged 

 about the sides, eating and dancing 

 going on simultaneously, as it were, 

 and the customary series of after din- 

 ner speeches was practically discarded 

 as a feature. 



A pleasant episode was the presenta- 

 tion to Ex-president Harry A. Bunyard 

 of a gold watch and chain together 

 with a diamond pin for Mrs. Bunyard, 

 Patrick O'Mara making the presenta- 

 tion speech. Robert Craig, of Phila- 

 delphia, and R. G. Halloman, of the 

 International Exhibition Company, 

 spoke briefly in praise of the success- 

 ful flower show in progress at the 

 Grand Central Palace and the eflJc- 

 iency of the oSicers, committees ana 

 judges. Charles Schenck and Mrs. 

 Schenck were winners of one of the 

 Lord & Burnham silver cups in the 

 ■"elimination" dance.
