Convention City Hotels 



|HE hotel committee for the Boston convention has sent out a circular 

 letter containing the list of hotels which is here appended, with prices 

 and other particulars. The committee has made comprehensive arrange- 

 ments and in most cases can hold reservations until August 15. It 

 will be best to write direct to the hotel for reservations, but the 

 committee suggests that intending visitors send duplicate announce- 

 ments to the office of the general secretary, 120 Boylston street, Boston, 

 Boom 702, as a record, as it is the desire to help members in every way. Besides 

 the hotels below, there are a niunber of other excellent family hotels in the 

 vicinity of the garden and hall and innumerable first-class furnished rooming 

 bouses and reasonably priced restaurants. 



Piiople intending to stay at Back Bay hotels, the Somerset, Nottingham, 

 Thomdike, Westminster, Lenox, Victoria, Canterbury, Hemingway, Vendome or 

 Garleton, or to look for furnished rooms, should leave trains via N. T., N. H. & H. 

 B. B. and Boston & Albany B. B. at the Back B^ stations of the roads, all 

 others at the South Station terminal. Patrick Welch, 226 Devonshire street, 

 Boston, is chairman of the hotel committee. 



The Copley Plaza hotel, in Copley Square, has been chosen as official head- 

 quarters of the convention. It is one block from the Back Bay and Huntington 

 avenue railroad stations. To reach this hotel, leave the train at the Back Bay 

 st^ation. Check your baggage to the Back Bay and Huntington avenue stations, 

 as it will be transferred to and from the hotel without charge.

 the similarity of the names Copley Plaza, Copley Square, and Plaza. In making res- 

 ervations, be careful to address the hotel you have in mind.

 next month. Mr. Waldbart will re- 

 main home this summer and take things 

 easy at his country home in St. Louis 

 county. 



Henry Berning has been receiving 

 large shipments of roses during the 

 last week, which included some extra 

 fine Mrs. Russell and Beauties. The 

 others were mostly Eillameys and 

 Kaiserins, of good quality, but short in 

 stem. 



There is more than the usual amount 

 of interest shown in the Boston conven- 

 tion as the time draws near. State Vice- 

 president B. J. Windier, who has charge 

 of the transportation of the St. Louis 

 delegation, says that he has a number 

 of promises from local florists to make 

 the trip, which will be from here to 

 Chicago, where they will take the presi- 

 dent 's special with the Chicago Flo- 

 rists' Club to Boston.- The fare will be 

 $35 round trip from here. Those who 

 can possibly go should make the trip, 

 for, as the late William Scott once 

 said, "travel is a great educator, if 

 not the greatest." J. J. B.
