good surplus on hand when the day was 

 over. 



Many large families were in evidence, 

 several generations of the Schmutz loyal- 

 ists as usual. These outings are grow- 

 ing into harmonious family reunions, 

 and the wholesalers, retailers, growers 

 and seedsmen are yearly getting nearer 

 together and drinking into their systems 

 more and more of the milk of human 

 kindness. 



• Nearly all of the old veterans of the 

 club were there, generously leaving the 

 athletic contests to their younger 

 brethren. 



With Scotch piper, Scotch dances and 

 Scotch music to burn, John Birnie was 

 as happy all day as a schoolboy, and so 

 were the representatives of many other 

 nationalities. The orchestra was well 

 primed and did not miss any of the 

 popular melodies of the fatherlands. A 

 goodly number tripped the light fan- 

 tastic during the afternoon and on the 

 moonlight sail, which lasted until 10 

 p. m. 



Not an accident of any kind marred 

 the joy of the day and good nature over- 

 flowed. 



F. R. Pierson, Eobert Simpson and 

 Benjamin Hammond, the staid and re- 

 liable cornerstones of the club, discussed 

 roses and big greenhouses and societies 

 to their hearts' content. They all think 

 the Sweet Pea Society is a winner and 

 Secretary Bunyard a wonder-worker in 

 what he has accomplished. 



The 150 club members, who sent their 

 photographs to the committee, have rea- 

 son to respect their good judgment. The 

 outing book will be a reference book for 

 a decade; nearly all the members that do 

 things are there. There are a few left 

 at three for $1. Send for one. The 

 oldesl florist to one of the youngest are 

 there illustrated. 



A touching tribute to the memory of 

 President Hallock was the silent stand- 

 ing toast, while the band played the dead 

 march. The loss of John Scott and 

 Herman Dreyer, always so loyal to the 

 club's annual outings, was also sadly 

 spoken of by many. 



All the officials appointed did their 

 duty willingly and well. 



President Turner had his hands full 

 in the baby contest and ended it by giv- 



ing every tot a prize. There should al- 

 ways be a similar method. Every 

 mother's baby is the prettiest. 



In the tug of war twenty brawny 

 seedsmen and florists strained their 

 muscles to the limit. Patrick O'Mara 

 and W. A. Manda were strenuous 

 anchors and the florists won. 



The mile race and quarter mile race 

 were both well contested. The winner 

 of the mile has run fifteen miles in prac- 

 tice. 



The heat was tempered by clouds as 



raVERY now and then a well- 

 l!^ pleased reader speaks the word 

 which ii the means of bringing a 

 new advertiser to 



Such friendly assistance is thoroughly 

 appreciated. 



Give us the name of anyone from 

 whom you are buying, not an adver- 

 tiser. We especially wish to interest 

 those selling articles of florists' use 

 not at present advertised.

evening approached, but the day as a 

 whole could hardly have been better 

 chosen. 



The fat man's race had a baker's 

 dozen of 200 pounders. The struggle 

 between Frank Traendly and W. A. 

 Manda was bitter and the ground trem- 

 bled. 



A. J. Bickards won the seedsmen 's 

 race at a 2:40 clip. J, Austin Shaw. 



The advertisement did the work — more 

 orders than we could fill. — H. O. Han-
