During Recess, 



Florists' Club of Washington. 



It takes more than the heaviest 

 kind of a rain storm to keep the 

 florists antl their friends away from 

 the annual outings and even though 

 the rain fell in torrents there was a 

 very large crowd at Chesapeake 

 Beach on this occasion. Many enter- 

 tainment and athletic features had 

 been planned by the Kallipolis Grotto, 

 whose outing was held jointly with 

 the florists, but the rain prevented 

 many of these. Fancy dances were 

 presented by a number of juvenile en- 

 tertainers who also rendered a num- 

 ber of popular songs. Along the board 

 walk paraded the "suffragettes" of the 

 Grotto, headed by the latter's special 

 band. Fred Kramer, as the policeman, 

 kept order among an unusually quiet 

 crowd and dressed in the uniform of a 

 "cop" he was successful in hiding his 

 identity for a long time. 



An effort was made to run off some 

 of the athletic events on the veranda 

 of the Casino where the members of 

 the club and the Grotto sought refuge 

 from the storm, but nothing much was 

 accomplished in the way of producing 

 record-breaking results. 



At a meeting of the members of the 

 joint committee of the club and the 

 Grotto it was decided to hold an- 

 other outing in the near future and 

 it is probable that Great Falls, Va.. 

 will be selected as the place. Here 

 will be pulled off the postponed ath- 

 letics, including the ball game between 

 the Grotto and the Club. 



Gardeners' and Florists' Club of 

 Boston. 



New Orleans Horticultural Society. 



This Society made a record in the 

 way of an outing, the affair lasting 

 three days and consisting of a boat 

 ride to Grand Isle, two nights and a 

 day's outing on the island and a re- 

 turn trip on the power-boat Hazel, 

 which had been chartered by the So- 

 ciety for the occasion. 



There was one continuous round of 

 genuine pleasure, including boating, 

 surf bathing, dancing, research in the 

 primitive woods of the small island, 

 and the novel feature of attending the 

 wedding of two of the most prominent 

 people on the island. During the out- 

 ing sumptuous meals of marine food, 

 fruits, vegetables and everythng that 

 would tempt epicurians, was served 

 aboard the boat. 



On the return trip the last meal 

 was in banquet form, during which 

 many toasts were responded to in a 

 most befitting manner by the guests 

 and members of the Society. Secre- 

 tary Charles R. Panter made the prin- 

 cipal address. 



New Bedford (Mass.) Horticultural 

 Society. 



This society held its first picnic on 

 July 25, with a clambake at Padana- 

 ram. Over 100 members and friends 

 participated. 



The Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 of Baltimore held their annual outing 

 on .July 18th, at Chesapeake Beach, 

 a noted shore resort. The weathe.- 

 was very rainy but mirth and joy were 

 unconfined and as there was a good 

 tui-noiit of members with their fami- 

 lies, it was a case of never mind the 

 weather, everybody out for a good 

 time.
