DURING RECESS 



Georgk Anderson. 



Snap shot of George Anderson of 

 Philadelphia; rose grower and captain 

 of the Florists' Gun Club— also a 

 bowler of renown, a keen one at pool 

 and billiards, sea-lawyer, and the most 

 formidable dissector of kittle points in 

 his community. He is a born tease 

 and very fond of starting discussions 

 on abstruse subjects. He has raised a 

 large family and incidentally collected 

 a big reserve of the root of all evil. 

 Although he pretends otherwise he is 

 suspected of being kindly disposed to 

 his fellow humans. Many instances 

 are on record which repudiate his 

 cynical pose. But his fondness for 

 licking people with the rough side of 

 his tongue has helped to keep up the 

 delusion for lo these many years. But 

 one thing all the trade agree on. He 

 is their doctor when anything goes 

 wrong with the houses or boilers or 

 piping. If any one can locate the 

 trouble it is George Anderson. And 

 he has never yet failed to responu to 

 a call. A born mechanic although 

 bred a gardener in Scotland and 

 graduated from the commercial estab- 

 lishment of the late Robert Buist at 

 Elmwood, Philadelphia, away back in 

 the seventies. 



I'R. George Goebel. 



Dr. Goebel has been prominent in 

 horticultural circles in Philadelphia 

 for many years. He not only soothes 

 the aching brow, saws off useless 

 limbs, and trims off all bothersome 

 excresences, but helps the various 

 members of the craft into and out of 

 the world. When there is nothing 

 doing in these lines he is perfectly 

 willing to go play with the horticul- 

 tural people whether it be at shooting, 

 bowling, yachting, fishing, or any 

 other sport. He is a good doctor, a 

 good shot, a good bowler, a good 

 square, healthy, open-air gentleman, 

 large of stature and big every way. 

 Everybody likes him: everybody runs 

 to him be it teeth or ■'tummy." When 

 it's sport everything brightens up the 

 minute the "Doc" appears. We are 

 glad to be able to present a character- 

 istic picture of him taken during the 

 recent shooting tournament of the 

 Eastern Association at the Florists' 

 grounds in Philadelphia. 



SPRINGFIELD (0.) FLORISTS' 



CLUB. 



About forty were present at the 

 picnic of the Florists' Club held at 

 Eichholz park on August 1st. The 

 feature of the day was the baseball 

 games between the north side and the 

 south side, the former winning both 

 games by scores of S to 7 and 21 to 4. 

 The batteries were: North, Snyder and 

 Schmidt; South, Good and Welsh. 



FLORAL CARNIVALS. 



Canisteo, N. Y., held a successful 

 show on August 8 and 9. 



Zanesville, 0., Town Improvement 

 Association's display on August 8 wa? 

 beautiful and profitable. 



Livingston, N. Y., Nunda Floral 

 Society's event on August 9 and 10 was 

 the most elaborate yet undertaken. 



The New London Horticultural 

 Society (Conn), will probably abandon 

 their summer show on account of the 

 continuous wet weather which has 

 made it impossible for the gardeners 

 to do iustice to themselves. 



Harry F. Hall. B. S., has resigned 

 the position of assistant horticulturist 

 at the New Hampshire College, to ac; 

 cept a position at Woburn, Mass.
