was formed and has been run by men 

 who were wholly self-made. To them 

 and to their efforts is due the high 

 standing of the profession today. Their 

 brains and industry have lifted their 

 chosen calling from a humble to a re- 

 spected position in this community. 

 The clubroom was their place for relax- 

 ation. They threw themselves with zest 

 into everything; the debates, the games, 

 whatever was foremost at the moment. 

 Now all that is changed. The club 

 leaders of yesterday are scattered. Some 

 come rarely; some have lost interest; 

 some have joined the great majority. 

 The new leaders, the leaders of today, 

 have other interests. They will come 

 and crowd the clubrooms with their 

 friends on occasion, but they come for 

 a purpose, not as a regular duty pleas- 

 ant to perform. There are other things 

 that give them more enjoyment than 

 spending hot, midsummer nights in a 

 city basement rolling tenpins and join- 

 ing in fiery debate. The seashore places 

 were not then in the lives of our mem- 

 bers what they are now — Waretown had 

 just been discovered; Ocean City and 

 Wildwood were almost unknown. A 

 member's greatest joy outside of his 

 profession was to roll a higher score 

 than D. T. Connor, or to listen to a 



burst of eloquence from John Burton, 

 or witty repartee from William K. Har- 

 ris. Those days have gone, never to re- 

 turn. To many of us they were an in- 

 spiration that did much to . make us 

 better florists and better men. 



Various Notes. 



A select little party of two, J. D. 

 Eisele and Charles H. McKubbin, care- 

 fully examined and planned the im- 

 provement of the plot of ground on one 

 side of Convention hall, where the next 

 national flower show will be held in 

 this city. The Dreer forces were set 

 to work. This ground was put in order, 

 grass sown and beds laid out to beau- 

 tify this space, 45x90. One bed is of 

 tall and dwarf cannas, edged w^th 

 pennisetums; the other of double 

 fringed petunias and between them an 

 immense specimen Phoenix rupicola. 

 The growth of the plants in these "beds, 

 and of those of the Henry F. Michell 

 Co. on the other side of the hall, will 

 be watched with interest by thousands 

 of Philadelphians. 



B. Eschner writes to Raymond 

 Brunswick that Banff, Canada, is more 

 beautiful than he had believed possible. 



The baseball team of the Henry F. 



Michell Co. met the team of Narberth, 

 at Narberth, Pa., July 10, and was de- 

 feated after an exciting game, by a 

 score of 15 to 16. 



H. Bayersdorfer and Mrs. Bayers- 

 dorfer sailed from Yokohama, Japan, 

 July 10, bound for San Francisco, thence 

 home. 



Recent visitors include Harry Rubel, 

 of Fleischman 's, Chicago; Miss Lizzie 

 Buck and A. Jamieson,. Washington 

 Court House, O., and D. Goldenberger 

 and Mrs. Goldenberger, Bethlehem, Pa. 



Paul Berkowitz is summering at a 

 prominent beach front hotel at Atlantic 

 City, where he gets a little relaxation 

 from affairs of state. Mr. Berkowitz 's 

 happy smile when mentioning this fact 

 leads to the belief that he indorses the 

 claim that the two most delightful 

 places in all the world are Paris and 

 Atlantic City. 



It is understood that Mrs. Kruger 

 wishes to dispose of the lease of the 

 Reading Terminal flower shop. 



The Robert Craig Co. is propagating 

 chrysanthemums heavily. There are 

 something like 40,000 coming on. So 

 far the demand has taken them as soon 

 as they were ready.
