MISS BREEZE A BBIDE. 



Many florists will be interested in the 

 bride whose portrait appears on this 

 page, since her parents, Mr. and Mrs. 

 Covington Breeze, of Mount Vernon, 

 Ind., are well and widely known in the 

 trade. The description of the ceremony 

 which appeared in the local newspaper 

 supplies the details so important on such 

 an occasion. The following is quoted: 



"Miss Eunice Eldora Breeze and 

 Joseph F. Fiedler were united in mar- 

 riage Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock at 

 St. Matthew's church. 



"The bride's gown was of white 

 satin. A band of beads, encircling her 

 head, held the bride's veil. She carried 

 a shower bouquet of roses and sweet 

 peas, a gift from Mr. Niednagel, of 

 Evansville, Ind. 



"The attendants were Miss Henrietta 

 Gempler, Misa Lucy Fiedler, sister of 

 the bridegroom, Florian Allcs and Syl- 

 vester Dcig. Augustine and John Fied- 

 ler, brothers of the bridegroom, served 

 as ushers. ■ 



"At noon a wedding dinner was 

 served for fifty guests at tlie home of 

 the bride's parents, which was artis- 

 tically decorated with orchids, carna- 

 tions and glailioli. 



"Mrs. Fiedler is the charming daugh- 

 ter of tlie leading florist of Mount Ver- 

 non, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. Covington 

 Breeze, of North Mill street. Mr. Fied- 

 ler is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hironi- 

 mus Fiedler and is a linotype operator 

 in the Western Star office. Mr. and 

 Mrs. Fiedler left at 2:30 Tuesday after- 

 noon for East St. Louis, 111., for a short 

 visit. They will make their home for 

 the Tiresent with the bride's parents, 

 92.S North Mill street." 



ALBANY'S CLUB CAMP. 



"Ho! for the breezes that blow on 

 Kinderhook lake." Thus reads the in- 

 vitation of the Albany Florists' Club, 

 which has secured a camp for the sum- 

 mer season, and for a nominal fee all 

 members, totaling over 100, are invited 

 to "bide a wee" and forget the cares 



Both the Bride and Her Flowers Were Raised by Florists. 



of both grower and retailer. Week-end 

 fishing parties are being arranged by 

 Kd Tracy, of the Rosery, wliile Tom 

 Tracy, manager of the Albany Cut 

 Flower Exchange, has a line on the local 

 fish market. There will be something 

 doing all of the time. Tlie club ineiii- 

 hi'rsiiip eml)races the leading traveling 

 salesmen of several eastern liouses, and 

 this new feature of entertiiinment will, 

 undoubtedly, be highly appreciated by 

 them, as well as bv the members of the 

 local craft. " W. M. 



HANDLING CALLA LILIES. 



I should like some information re- 

 garding my calla lilies, of which 1 liave 

 about l,()()'o drying off. The le.-ivcs are 

 about dry, hut iis soon iis tlicv dry off 

 to the bulb, some of tliciii st;irt to rot. 

 The ground seems to be .'is dry as possi- 

 ble. Do you think the lieat in the house 

 could cause any such rotting? When I 

 s;iw that they were starting to rot, I 

 took them out of the soil and put tlieni 

 in baskets in a cool, dry cell.'ir. WouM 

 it be well to j)ut some dry sand or soil 

 among tlie bulbs? A. J. L. — Mo. 



If you dug uj) your callas and laid 



them bare on the beds to bake and dry 

 up, you are giving them far too sudden 

 a cliJinge. Rather should you have left 

 them in the soil and allowed all foliage 

 to die away before lifting them. Even 

 then, do not, leave the bulbs exposed to 

 the hot sun, but pack them in some dry 

 (sand or loam and store them in a dry 

 shed until vou are readv to plant again.

TROY, N. Y. 



A visit found J. G. Barrett busj' with 

 I'uneral work. 



Sambrook Bros, ,'ire rushed, with flow- 

 ers rather scarce. .Tolin Sambrook looks 

 for a "swath'' of gladioli, as he de- 

 scribes it, from the Berlin farm soon. 



Menand's Flower Shop and Louis 

 Menand 's cemetery station report good 

 business. 



Siimuel Hanson, North Troy, reports 

 fine trade, regardless of traction 

 troubles. W. M. 



Lancaster, 0. — Robert S. Sells has 

 recently engaged in the florists' business 

 and is intending to ojjerate on a large 

 scale as soon as possible.
