 the opening of the season for the Ware- 

 town Kod and Gun Club June 19 to 21. 

 The Commodore is a famous host; his 

 friends always have a tremendously 

 good time when they go down to Ware- 

 town. This season's party included 

 George Anderson, John Burton, George

 Commodore's son, William Westcott. 



Flowers Abroad. 



Bernard Eschner, president of the M. 

 Rice Co., gave a few impressions, gath- 



ered on his trip across the water, that 

 may be of interest to my readers. Mr. 

 Eschner was emphatic in his declaration 

 that our delivery service is far ahead 

 of that of the florists in the older coun- 

 tries. He saw few florists' automobile 

 delivery cars. These few were in Ber- 

 lin, Paris and London. The delivery 

 wagons were not equal to those in this 

 country. Most of the delivery abroad 

 is done by messenger. Oddly enough, 

 there is an attachment on the front and 

 on the rear of the trolleys, in Paris, I 

 think Mr. Eschner said, for hanging de- 

 signs. The florists' windows in Paris 

 were as fascinating as ever. Daring 

 color combinations, dainty effects in 

 plants and flower baskets were pre- 

 sented in rich profusion in the leading 

 florists' windows. The roses were mag- 

 nificent in their spring beauty. An open 

 air flower market on a square of red- 

 awning-covered church pavement was 

 interesting, with its low prices and 

 swarthy saleswomen. Natural foliage is 

 much used in design work. Laurel and 

 spruce are bought in large quantities 

 and form the groundwork for designs, 

 which usually exceed ours in size. 



There were two ways of doing things 

 in London that were strange to Mr.
