READING, PA. 



Business continues fair, with a good 

 number of funeral orders evenly dis- 

 tributed among the stores. Asters are 

 uncommonly good in this section, some 

 of them the largest ever seen here. 

 Gladioli are in liberal supply and sell 

 well. The prices are good, with America 

 leading the lot. Building and repairs 

 occupy the attention of many, and 

 changes will be noted in the fall. 



J. Stanley Giles, the popular presi- 

 dent of the Florists' Association, ac- 

 companied by Mrs. Giles, have been en- 

 joying a vacation at Atlantic City. The 

 Heck brothers are at the famous resort 

 and Mr. and Mrs. P. Blackman are 

 summering at their bungalow at Cedar 

 Hollow, near Moontown. Lee Arnold 

 and family are spending their vacation 

 near Ephrata, Pa. 



The annual picnic of the Reading 

 Florists' Association will be held Aug- 

 ust 17 at the estate of F. Baer, near 

 Kutztown. The committee has spared 

 nothing to make the outing a big one. 

 Special cars have been chartered and a 

 band of fifty-six pieces will be present 

 ill day. The event in which most in- 

 terest is centered is the baseball game 

 between the Reading boys, captained by 

 J. S. Giles, and the Kutztown regulars. 

 However, there will be all the other 

 games, and then some. H. C. H.
