"Big Stock" respectively. Tlie "Big 

 Stock" nine proved true to name, tak- 

 ing the "Ornamentals" into camp to 

 the tune of 20 to 9, owing, perhaps, to 

 their refusal to "be out" until tour bat- 

 ters were retired. The ball game be- 

 tween the Lady Nines proved very in- 

 teresting and the score will not be 

 published — for lack of space. 



Dinner was served by the Park Man- 

 agement, after which the amusements 

 of the Park were enjoyed, shop talked. 

 and everyone voted it one of the most 

 enjoyable outings the Association ever 

 held, and all look forward to the one 

 next year.

 LUNCHEON WITH HOUSTON 



ROTARY CLUB. 

 A pleasing courtesy extended to the 

 visiting florists was the luncheon ten- 

 dered them by the Houston Rotary 

 Uub at their regular weekly dinner, 

 Thursday noon, August 17th. Presi- 

 dent-elect Kerr being a prominent 

 member of the Rotary Club it was a 

 joint courtesy to him as well as to the 

 visiting florists that this invitation 

 was extended. A most enjoyable time 

 was had. After the tables had been 

 Cleared and the inviting menu disposed 

 of, the retiring President of the club 

 invited attention, and said that as an 

 addition to the usual roll-call each 

 member and visiting florist would be 

 asked to rise in turn, announce his 

 name and state his favorite flower, 

 there were some 100 members of tho 

 Rotary Club and 110 visiting florists in 

 attendance, and out of these 52 an- 

 swered that they preferred the rose 

 giving various varieties, led by the 

 American Beauty. For the rest there 

 was an amazing variety of choice 

 Speeches were made by a number of 



reorr-/^^ ^'^' °° '^^ ''«t being 

 George Asmus who handed to Vice 

 President Kerr the $150 in gold which 

 he had won by securing the largest 

 number of new members for the S 

 A. F during the past year, 83 new 

 members having been credited to his 

 efTorts. W. F. Gude followed with 

 some animated remarks and President 

 MacRorie made the closing speech 

 with characteristic cordiality 



We learn that the trade exhibitors 

 wno took a business chance and went 

 to Houston made a very gratifving rec- 

 ord. Florists' supply men and green- 

 house builders all did a fine business. 

 M. c. Wright who represented Lord 

 & Burnham Company took several 

 good orders for new construction We 

 have yet to hear of one exhibitor who 

 was dissatisfied.
