BOSTON FLORISTS' PICNIC. 



The first annual picnic of the Boston 

 Florists' Association was -a great suc- 

 cess. It was held Thursday, July 17, 

 at Lynnfield, Mass., and was attended 

 by about 100 people, including the 

 ladies. The trip from Boston was 

 made in 25 automobiles, the party 

 leaving Hoffman's on Massachusetts 

 avenue about noon. On arriving at 

 the park, the picnickers sat down to a 

 most excellent dinner at Wardhurst 

 Club. The menu was as follows: 

 Blue Points Olives Dinner Biscuits 

 Vegetable Salad 



Steamed Clams Clam Broth 



Soup 



Half Broiled Chicken 



Whole Broiled Lobster 



French Fried Potatoes Peas 



Ice Cream Cake Coffee 



Everything wr.s good, but those bis- 

 cuits! Well, Well! Just ask Messrs. 

 Hastings, Hanna and Carthright. If 

 the number which they ate should be 

 reported, it wouldn't be believed. 

 Some say Mr. Hastings led by half a 

 biscuit, but this he denies indignantly. 



During the repast there was dancing 

 to the music of a Jazz band. After- 

 wards there were sports, including a 

 baseball match. There seemed to be

nobody in particular to keep the score, 

 but it was generally admitted that the 

 wholesalers won, and the retailers 

 were good losers. Henry Penn won 

 the fat man's race, Sam Truckman the 

 potato race. Henry Penn was chair- 

 man of the committee in charge of the 

 picnic. Sydney Hoffman looked after 

 the sports. Henry Quint was in charge 

 of the automobiles, George Arnold saw 

 to the dinner and William Stickel 

 looked after the finances. 



Everybody seemed to feel that an ex- 

 cellent choice for the place to hold the 

 picnic had been made. The grounds 

 around the Club house are extremely 

 pretty and the situation on the lake is 

 ideal. 



NEW YORK. 



Business is very dull even for July. 

 There is an ample supply of Roses, 

 the best of which is Key. Beauties 

 are not so plentiful as they were but 

 the demand is light. The quality of 

 Russell and Euler is fair. Ophel'a is 

 as good as the weather conditions 

 permit. For the past week red roses, 

 the supply of which is light, have been 

 in demand for special occasions. 

 Carnations are deminishing in quality 

 and quantity. The market is generous- 

 ly supplied with Gypsophilla and 

 other seasonable field grown stock. 

 Gladiolus are more plentiful. Longi- 

 florum lilies are moving slowly though 

 there is no great number coming into 

 the market. Orchids are not going 

 fast.
