THE CANADIAN HORTICULTURIST 



An Unfortunate Episode 



Those Canadians who have appreciated 

 the sympathetic feelings of most of the 

 people of the United States to the Allies in 

 the war might have obtained some light on 

 why the people of the United States have 

 not done more than they have had they 

 attended a banquet held in Cleveland In 

 connection with the big Cleveland flower 

 show in November. Among the Canadian 

 exhibitors were the Dale Estate, of Bramp- 

 ton, and John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, both 

 of whom were quite successful. During the 

 banquet some complimentary remarks were 

 made about Canada, and while the toasts 

 were 'being proposed, as there were a num- 

 ber of Canadians present, "Tipperary" was 

 sung and joined in heartily by the great 

 majority of those sitting at the festive 

 board. 



It happened that there was a consider- 

 able German element present. The singing 

 of "Tipperary" was too much for them to 

 stand, and led by one prominent German 

 florist, they stood up at the same time and 

 sang "The Watch on the Rhine." Not sat- 

 isfied with what they had done, the leader 

 clenched his fists and shouted, "Take that, 

 will yer!" This was too much for the loyal 

 representatives of Canada present, who got 

 up immediately and retired to the rotunda 

 of the hotel. Later, -when the toast to "Our 

 Canadian Visitors" was being given there 

 was no one there to respond. The incident 

 was much regretted by the majority of those 

 present.
