HENDEICKSON ENTERTAINS. 



Last week the Xew Yorl; Florists' 

 (Mub held "Long island ni};ht, " when 

 the exhibits were from growers on that 

 island and a special efTort was made to 

 induce attendance of members of tin- 

 trade from that section. To act-oiiiplisli 

 so sueee.ssful a result as the meetinj; 

 lirought forth required much hard work, 

 and this was performed by a small 

 group appointed for that purpose by 

 I'resident I. S. Hendrickson. Not onl.\- 

 did Mr. Hendrickson aid them in this 

 work, being a Long islander himself, 

 by sending a large exhibit from the firm 

 of John Lewis Childs, Inc., but he enter 

 tained the members the week before the 

 meeting at Flowerfield. On th,it ocea 

 sion tliere were present A. L. Miller. 

 Richard Hughes, Anton Scluiltheis, Jr., 

 Henry Weston, Marius Matheron, Sec 

 retary Young, John Miesem, Clarence 

 Ankers, W. A. Rodman, I'eter Hoebel. 

 .\rthur Weston and William Young. The 

 party was escorted by Mr. Hendricksori 

 over the big SUO-acro flower farm, sjjcnd 

 ing some time among tlie lifteeii .acres 

 of dahlias and a greater acreage of 

 cannas. Here a photograjdi was t.il'Ctii 

 of the party, shown on this page. The 

 gl.'uliolus and other bulb and jierennial 

 plantings were also insjx'cted. The par 

 ty Wits entertained at a delightful luneli 

 under the trees near the H(ii<irieksoii 

 residence an<l before departing ji.issed 

 a hearty vote of thanks to their host 

 .and his wife for their cordial Imspi 

 talitv.
