in excess, it was certainly not the 

 pushing of business. Mr. Watson re- 

 fers to someone in the trade, in his 

 article, as a Curbstone Peddler, but I 

 have never met that man at any pic- 

 nic; in fact, that man would be too 

 mean to allow himself to be separated 

 from the price of a ticket. What is 

 really meant by the above quotation 

 is, that for half a day, we should lay 

 aside all thoughts of business, and in 

 the fullest sense of the word enter 

 into the spirit of the tun. Why make 

 comparison between a half day's out- 

 ing and the nurserymen's convention? 

 At a convention, to make it a success, 

 it is necessary to mix business and 

 relaxation. A three or four-day ses- 

 sion of all business, or all relaxation, 

 would be monotonous. But why, Mr. 

 Watson, make such a far-fetched com- 

 parison! Surely we had expected

your fertile brain to bring forth some- 

 thing more convincing! 



Your P. S. pleases me more than 

 anything else. That shows that at 

 least the committee seems to under- 

 stand the spirit of my unwisely 

 chosen quotation. I quite agree with 

 Mr. Watson, that his interpretation of 

 my quotation is silly, and shows the 

 lack of understanding of human na- 

 ture, Mr. Watson must have been in 

 such a dense fog, that a collision was 

 unavoidable. Xo doubt his intentions 

 are good, and between the lines we 

 can read, and readily see Mr. Wat- 

 son's lofty ideals, which are generous 

 and admirable. Diogenes took his 

 lantern and went in search of a man. 

 It seems that Mr. Watson took his 

 lantern, in search of something to 

 write about. If Mr. Watson had put 



' in print the thought that he wishes 

 to convey in Ills article, before read- 

 ing the Florists' Club circular, the 



I sjiirit and sentiment would have been 

 beautiful, but he spoils the article, 

 when we consider what aroused his 

 faculties. His excuse for writing does 

 not appeal to me! 



ArTIIUK a. Nl ESSEN. 



(Note. — Mr. Watson does not refer 

 to any one in his article as a curb- 



stone peddler. He distinctly says that 

 he is thankful there are few in the- 

 club who talk business like a curb- 

 stone peddler. In regard to the Scot 

 being non-humorous. Dean Ramsay 

 says they are the only people on earth, 

 with a real sense of humor.
