The Club Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Florists' 

 Club of Washington, D. C, was devoted 

 largely to a discussion of plans for the 

 outing July 19 and to the forthcoming 

 convention at Houston, Tex. 



The outing committee rendered an 

 interesting report, showing that the 

 members were to expect one of the most 

 enjoyable events in the history of the 

 club. A report was made on the partici- 

 pation of the florists in the prepared- 

 ness parade May 14. It was estimated 

 that there were more than 100 florists 

 in line. 



In the convention discussion it was 

 stated that the Washington represen- 

 tatives probably will include William 

 F. Gude and Mrs. Qude, Adolph Gude, 

 Mr. and Mrs. C. Schellhorn and Theo- 

 dore Dietrich. 



Samuel Everett was proposed for 

 membership. 



Various Notes. 



William F. Gude, J. Eichards, George 

 C. Shaffer and Edward S. Schmid partic- 

 ipated in the parade of the Elks at Bal- 

 timore last week. Mr. Gude is the 

 leader of the local lodge and as such 

 marched at the head of the Washington 

 contingent. In this line were members 

 of the House of Eepresentatives, the 

 Senate and the government depart- 

 ments. 



George Field has disposed of his stock 

 of orchid plants to W. .7. & M. S. Vesey, 

 of Fort Wayne, Ind. Will J. Vesey, Jr., 

 recently came here for that purpose 

 and arranged to have the stock shipped 

 to the Vesey houses by express. Three 

 cars will be required to transport them 

 from Washington to Fort Wayne. It 

 is the intention of Mr. Field to give up 

 his present business. Following the sale 

 of his orchids he announces the sale 

 of his property. Mr. Field is undecided 

 as to what he will do in the future, but 

 it is safe to say he will not remain 

 long out of the business. 



Otto Bauer, manager of the local store 

 of the S..S. Pennock-Meehan Co., has 

 gone to Wildwood, N. J., for a two 

 weeks' vacation. He joins Mrs. Bauer 

 and their two children, who have been 

 at this popular seaside resort for sev- 

 eral weeks. Mr. Bauer is desirous of 

 getting some sea bathing, for which 

 Wildwood is famous, but does not feel 

 like taking a chance with so many man- 





Any flowers or plants give a lot of pleasure if they're nice and fresh: and the way 

 to keep them fresh is to pack them in
