ENOXVILLE, TENN. 



The Society Picnic. 



The Knoxville Florists' Society held 

 its third annual picnic Thursday, July 

 6, at Elkmont, Tenn., a delightful spot 

 about sixty miles from Knoxville. The 

 picnickers left Knoxville on a special 

 train at 8 o 'clock in the morning, reach- 

 ing the destination at about 11 a. m. 

 The trip was made in closed cars until 

 Walland was reached, where an obser- 

 vation car was added, giving the pic- 

 nickers a chance to enjoy the beautiful 

 scenery. The weather favored the oc- 

 casion, as the cool breeze and sun 's rays 

 cooled and tanned the faces of the jo- 

 vial crowd. 



On reaching Elkmont pictures were 

 made of the entire company, and then 

 an elaborate and most delicious basket 

 dinner was served on the grounds. 



There were a number of baseball play- 

 ers in the crowd and they, of course, be- 

 came interested in ball playing. Two 

 teams were selected and a close game 

 followed. After the ball game a num- 

 ber hastened to the river and enjoyed 

 the evening bathing; others took to 

 mountain climbing, while some started 

 in other directions to seek new species 

 of floriculture. 



At 5:30 p. m. the homeward-bound 

 train left Elkmont and sped along at a 

 faster pace than in the morning. The 

 fragments of the dinner served as a 

 luncheon for supper. At 8 p. m. the 

 train pulled in at Knoxville, bearing a 

 most pleasant-looking crowd. Every- 

 one felt that he was the one who had 

 the best time of the 100 who shared 

 in the day's joys. 



Among the invited guests were Gun- 

 nar Teilmann and son, of Johnson City, 

 Tenn.; Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Kimmell 

 and Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Haeger, of 

 Chattanooga, Tenn.
