orated. J. J. Habermehl's Sons are the 

 official decorators, which means that be- 

 sides handsome plant and electrical 

 decorations in the meeting hall they 

 have adorned some 600 booths, where 

 exhibits are displayed, with window 

 boxes and decorative plants, and lights. 

 John P. Habermehl and Edward Haber- 

 mehl had a corps of fifteen skilled 

 assistants and five carloads of material 

 at their command. Great numbers of 

 combination boxes of plants were made 

 up for the booths, similar to those that 

 are arranged for Christmas or Easter. 

 The effect is said by those who have 

 seen it to be extremely fine. This is 

 the fourth year the firm has arranged 

 the decorations for this meeting. 



The Club Outing. 



The committee in charge of the Flo- 

 rists' Club's outing, to be held at 

 Schuetzen park, Monday, June 22, went 

 out to the grounds June 8 to perfect 

 the arrangements. There will be a base- 

 ball game between the Wholesalers and 

 Growers on one side and the Seedsmen 

 and Retailers on the other. There will 

 be a variety of sports, with handsome 



prizes, including a tug-of-war ])etween 

 the same sides as in the ball game. 

 There will be music, dancing and a din- 

 ner. Tickets are $1.50 each. It is 

 hoped everybody will come and bring 

 his wife, or the lady who is to be, to 

 help make the affair a glorious success. 

 Trains leave Reading terminal for 

 Tabor Junction, at which point be sure 

 to get off, at 1:14 p. m. and at frequent 

 intervals thereafter. 



A Distinguished Visitor. 



It had been noised around town some 

 ten days before the June meeting of the 

 club that George Watson had received 

 a telephone message from Burpee's to 

 hold himself in readiness to meet a dis- 

 tinguished visitor and show him the 

 horticultural points of interest in our 

 city. Although Barkis was willin ', 

 there was nothing doing and few knew 

 that the distinguished visitor had come 

 to town and was quietly seeing the 

 sights. Antoine Wintzer knew; J. Otto 

 Thilow knew; the Burpees of course 

 knew, and somehow Edward Reid knew. 

 This is shown by the announcement on 

 the club notices for the meeting June 



-. These same notices held the visitor 

 one day longer than he had intended to 

 stay before going to New York, for 

 when he dropped in at Dreer's to say 

 good-bye he was confronted with the 

 notice and, being a kindly man, stayed 

 over to keep his totally unexpected en- 

 gagement with the club. 



The members were dropping in by 

 ones and twos when a stranger appeared 

 with the inquiry for the club 's meeting 

 place. It was P. D. Barnhart, of Los 

 Angeles, Cal., who is almost as well 

 known in the east as in the west. Mr. 

 Barnhart came east to visit Washing- 

 ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York 

 and Rochester, spending a few days in 

 each city. He will return home June 

 18. The visitor received as cordial a 

 welcome in the chief city of his native 

 state as his best friends could have 

 wished. The members were presented 

 as they dropped in — Emil H. Gerschick, 

 who has come from Germany to the 

 scene of his success in Germantown; 

 George C. Watson, who always has some- 

 thing bright to say in a sprightly sort 

 of way; Robert Kift, who was known 

 by fame to the visitor; David Rust, who
