The Florists' Review 



Jblt 27, 1916. 



ItAirOASTEB, PA. 



Annual Picnic. 



Thursday, July 20, over 100 Lan- 

 caster county florists and their friends 

 held their annual picnic, at Avondale, 

 the farm of Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Barr. 

 Special cars conveyed the party from 

 Lancaster to the farm, on Marietta 

 pike. An inspection of the ornamental 

 grounds and formal gardens was made 

 and was greatly enjoyed. 



On the spacious piazza were card 

 tables, where many participated . in 

 ."500" and pinochle. Mrs. A. M. Herr 

 •. was winner in the latter game. Bowl- 

 ing on the green afforded much pleasure 

 for many. D. T. Connor, E. J. Fan- 

 court and Albert M. Herr rolled spec- 

 tacular games. The croquet grounds 

 were the scene of some really wonder- 

 ful playing, for among the players were 

 Charles B. Herr and J. Wade Gayley, 

 of Strasburg; J. Butter Hess, of Gap, 

 and Ira H. Landis, of Paradise, all of 

 whom are experts in this sport. Quoit 

 pitching furnished amusement for many, 

 while the children played "London 

 Bridge is Falling Down," etc. 



At 4 p. m. the prearranged program 

 of sports was begun. The winners in 

 the potato races were Bobert Musser, 

 Lester Brown and Willis Weaver, while 

 the successful ladies were Bosanna 

 Bohrer, Elizabeth Kohr and Katharine 

 Weaver. The egg race was won by 

 Mary Kreider and Elizabeth Kohr. The 

 winners in the sack race were Paul 

 Wieaver and Edward Bohrer. In the 

 boys * race, Edward Bohrer was first 

 and Lester Brown second. In the g^rls* 

 race, Mary Weaver was first and Bos- 

 anna Bohrer second. 



At 5 o'clock the lunch baskets ap- 

 peared on the lawn, and an enjoyable 

 hour followed. President Harry A. 

 Schroyer treated the entire party to 

 ice cream. 



Business Meeting. 



Following supper, a business meeting 

 of the club was held on the piazza. 

 Harry K. Bohrer, for the flower show 

 committee, reported having leased the 

 Auditorium for November 9 to 11, when 

 the second flower show of the club will 

 be held. Albert M. Herr moved that 

 one-half of the net proceeds from the 

 show be given to the fund toward build- 

 ing a state armory in Lancaster, where 

 eventually the club's flower shows may 

 be held. 



The visitors from out of the city 

 were Mr. and Mrs. Edward Marshall, 

 Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, Sr., and Percy 

 Barnard, all of whom motored from 

 Kennett Square; E. J. Fancourt and 

 D. T. Connor and daughter, of Phila- 

 delphia; T. J. Nolan, of the King Con- 

 struction Co.; Misses Elton and Mary 

 Weaver, of Newport News, Va. 



The committee that arranged the af- 

 fair consisted of Elmer J. Weaver, A. 

 F. Strickler and Budolph Nagel, all of 

 whom deserve much credit. H. K. B.
