Florists' Club of Washington. 

 Tabloid speeches featured the Vic- 

 tory Banquet of the Florists' Club of 

 Washington, D. C, held at the Coch- 

 rane Hotel, April 9, the first social 

 event of the club since the commence- 

 ment of the war and attended by more 

 than one hundred people. Pres. Z. D. 

 Blackistone obtained request to make 

 a fifty-word address of welcome. 

 Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, 

 Md., made a very brief speech. Fred 

 H. Kramer obtained the floor at vari- 

 ous times to briefly introduce the en- 

 tertainers. The record was made by 

 the retiring secretary, Clarence L. 

 Linz, who found himself almost tongue 

 tied and able only to say about twenty- 

 five words thanking the members of 

 the club for the handsome cut glass 

 water set presented to him upon his 

 completing a four-year term of service 

 as secretary. 



The newspapers next day had a lot 

 to say about the florists' speechless 

 banquet, the sending of the thousands 

 of roses, spring flowers and fruit blos- 

 soms to the nearby hospitals and the 

 the gathering of a thousand fresh 

 roses in the greenhouses in the morn- 

 ing to be sent to the sick and wounded 

 soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital, the 

 Victory corsages presented to the 

 ladies, consisting of white and light 

 purple sweet peas and red roses set in 

 old fashioned bouquet holders and tied 

 with flag ribbon; and the installation 

 of officers. 



Best wishes for the quick recovery 

 of William F. Gude were voiced dur- 

 ing the evening. 



The decorators, from the stores of 

 Z. D. Blackistone and George C. Shaf- 

 fer used enormous quantities of roses, 

 carnations, spring flowers and fruit 

 blossoms, snapdragon and sweet peas 

 in a most artistic manner. George E. 

 Anderson, Fred H. Kramer and Ed- 

 ward S. Schmid, assisted in making ar- 

 rangements for the affair. George C. 

 Shaffer was chairman of the banquet 

 committee. Z. D. Blackistone headed 

 the committee on decorations; Otto 

 Bauer looked after tickets, and Clar- 

 ence L. Linz took care of the publicity. 

 There were songs and music all dur- 

 ing the dinner. James H. Young en- 

 tertained the guests with songs, while 

 Mrs. Young played the piano. Clara 

 Naecker made love in song to William 

 Marche, who greatly enjoyed the role 

 of Romeo to the fair singer. Charles 

 A. Stevens and Milton J. Filius 

 dressed as farmers and poking fun at 

 their friends in a very inoffensive way, 

 presented an original sketch, assisted 

 by Clara Naecker. Herbert M. Sauber, 

 of the Blackistone store, presented a 

 vaudeville sketch. 

 Dancing followed the entertainment.
