The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Aloust 3, 1003. 



VASHINGTON. 



Convention Preparations. 



The regular weekly meeting of th« 

 Washington Florists' Club was held 

 Monday, July 20, for the purpose of re- 

 ceiving reports from the outstanding 

 committees and the transaction of other 

 business in connection with the coming 

 convention. Tiie meeting was well at- 

 tended and highly satisfactory in all 

 respects. 



Chairman W. F. Gude, of the recep- 

 tion committee, recommended that the 

 president 's reception be held in the 

 open air, an entertainment similar to 

 the regular lawn fete. He proposes 

 having a brass band of about fifty 

 pieces to furnish music while the usual 

 refreshments are being served through- 

 out the evening. 



Though this is an innovation from 

 the usual evening dress affair, custom- 

 ary heretofore, it was received with 

 great favor by tiiose present. It has 

 been arranged to have the lawn lighted 

 on this occasion by the full moon, as- 

 sisted by several iiundred incandescent 

 lights, which no doubt will furnish a 

 scene as beautiful to the eye as the 

 other features will be comforting to 

 the body. Special cars will be provided 

 to carry every one from the convention 

 hall out to the scene of action. 



Music, refreshments and good cheer 

 will be in such aJmndance that we trust 

 those present will call themselves for- 

 tunate in being able to recall the auspi- 

 cious opening of what the Washington 

 florists hope to make one of the most 

 successful meetings in the historv of 

 the S. A. F. B. 



Band Concerts. 



Uncle Sam's contribution to the en- 

 tertainment of visitors during conven- 

 tion week in Washington will be many 

 and varied but among them a series of 

 concerts by some of the military bands 

 stationed around Washington 'will be 

 most enjoyable. The following sched- 

 ule is announced for convention week: 



Monday, Aug. 14. l'. S. Cavalry band In the 

 Smithsonian sroiind^, 7:30 to 9 p. m 



Tuesday, Aug. l.'.. U. S. Engineer bund in 

 WashlnfTton Circle, 7:.'?0 to 9 p. m. 



Thursday, Aug. 17, U. S. Cavalry band in 

 judiciary park. 7:30 to 9 p. m. 



JYlday. Aur. 18. r. S. Engineer band In Iowa 

 Circle, 7:30 to p. m. 



It is also expected that the world- 

 famous Marine band will give its regu- 

 lar concerts on Wednesday evening at 

 the Capitol grounds, and on Saturday 

 at the White House grounds. 



These places are all accessible bj- 

 street cars. J. H. Freeman, "
