A PHILADELPHIA CELEBRITY. 



A- 



W. L. Schaeffer. familiarly known 

 to his intimates as "Doc" Scliaeffer. 

 and famous as a wit and raconteur, 

 has had his picture "tooli." and it 

 gives us pleasure to reproduce same 

 herewith, so that our readers who 

 have heard of this redoubtable Phila- 

 delphia florist may gaze on his feat- 

 ures. The fact that he is shown wa- 

 tering the rake instead of the rose 

 bush may be explained by his ecstacy 

 over the fragrance of the flower or 

 possibly by the item behind the spade: 

 one good reason is as good as twenty. 

 The winter style of head and neck 

 gear is the latest Philadelphia fashion 

 for Jime (the month of outdoor roses). 

 and is specially designed to prevent 

 summer colds. The attenuated brev- 

 ity of the inexpressibles provides 

 against overheating. Not patented.

NEW YORK FLORISTS' PICNIC. 



The New York Florists' Club outing 

 was a great success. Everything, 

 weather included, united to favor a 

 large attendance. The sun made it hot 

 for the athletes, but the shady grove 

 and cool breeze kept the rest of the 

 folks comfortable.
