During Recess 



New York Florists' Club Outing. 



A beautiful clear day, refreshing 

 ocean breezes and a company of about 

 250 jovial picnickers all conspired to 

 make the eleventh annual outing of 

 the New York Florists' Club, June 28, 

 a pronounced success. To this an- 

 other factor may be added— the effi- 

 cient manner in which the manage- 

 ment of Witzel's Point Grove catered 

 to the inner man. A pleasant trip 

 down the harbor preceded the landing 

 at the picnic grove. At the table 

 when all were seated. President J. B. 

 Nugent made a few brief and perti- 

 nent remarks of welcome and con- 

 gratulation. 



The sports were as usual a center of 

 interest for old and young, and there 

 were many of the latter in the com- 

 pany full of ambition to compete and 

 win some of the tempting prizes listed 

 in the program.

An Interesting Fishing Trip. 

 A fishing party consisting of James 

 E. Jones, Proprietor of the Advance 

 Co., his son, Raymond, Fred H. Lemon, 

 proprietor of the Fred H. Lemon Co., 

 florists, Indianapolis, Ind.. and two 

 other local friends motored to Colon, 

 Mich., on June 23rd. The trip was 

 made on a very warm day and some 

 tire trouble was experienced. Mr. 

 Lemon, standing 6 feet 2 inches, wear- 

 ing borrowed clothes for a fishing cos- 

 tume, represented a typical Ichabod 

 Crane. Regardless of this, his fine dis- 

 position and comical jokes kept the 

 party in a merry condition at all times. 

 Several fine fish were caught by the 

 party including a "billfish" or "gaar- 

 fish" which was 42 inches long. The 

 rushed condition of the two firms 

 above mentioned shortened the stay 

 of the party and the return was made 

 on the 27th without incident.

Extreme hot weather has made at-

 tions are also cutting into the ranks 

 of the bowlers. 



<flThe value of clay for pottery 

 is not based on the mere cost 

 of delivering the clay at a cer- 

 tain place, but on the quality 

 of pottery, which, in the hands 

 of artists, can be produced by 

 that particular clay. Both ma- 

 terial and art are necessary to 

 create the ultimate value — one 

 is dependent upon the other. 

 So with lily bulbs, you must 

 have good bulbs and be a flow- 

 ering artist to evolve from 

 them all they will produce. 

 Bad bulbs are the most costly 

 to buy because of the lost time, 

 space, expense and effort wasted 

 and then no returns, so how 

 foolish it really is to buy bulbs 

 because they are cheap — that's 

 when you should be suspicious 

 of them. Get good bulbs — 

 base your costs on the average 

 flower production and don't 

 take chances on cheap bulbs, 

 for one dose of bad bulbs will 

 more than offset the additional 

 cost of better bulbs for perhaps 

 ten years. Horseshoe Brand

 able profit only. Write for
