Club Field Day. 



Ideal weather prevailed for the field 

 day of the Gardeners' and Florists' Club 

 to Nashua, N. H., December 11. A 

 party of over fifty left the North sta- 

 tion on the 11:30 express, having a spe- 

 cial car to themselves, and an orchestra 

 which furnished inspiring music on the 

 outward and inward journeys. Arriv- 

 ing at Nashua Junction, the party was 

 welcomed by George E. Buxton and 

 others from the Granite State city, as 

 well as a number of club members and 

 friends who had come on other trains. 

 Quite a number of ladies were included, 

 the party numbering eighty all told. 



Special electrics were waiting to con- 

 vey the party to the Tremont hotel, 

 where a splendid dinner was served at 

 Mr. Buxton's expense. W. W. Powers 

 saw that the party did not lack for 

 cigars. Judge C. W. Hoitt presided and 

 made one of his usual witty speeches 

 in welcoming all to Nashua. He called 

 upon President Downs, who expressed 

 his pleasure at seeing so many present 

 and thanked the Nashua gentlemen for 

 their splendid welcome. 



After dinner, which was enlivened by 

 orchestral selections, cars were taken to 

 George E. Buxton's establishment. 

 Everything here was found in apple-pie 

 order and the condition of the carnations 

 caused many expressions of pleasure. 

 Pink Beauty, a seedling raised here, 

 showed up splendidly, color a rich, rosy 

 pink, flowers large and full, with excel- 

 lent stems. A house of white seedlings 

 was superb. Granite State was a veri- 

 table mass of bloom and buds and should 

 prove a winner. No. 3 and No. 9, also 

 pure whites, were equally good. With big 

 blooms, excellent calyxes, strong stems, 

 all should be heard from again. Other 

 excellent seedlings were noted and no 

 second rate ones were observed. 



Among standard sorts. Beacon was in 

 heavy crop. Fenn was a leading crim- 

 son. A few Ruby were being tried and 

 looked well. Winsor was carrying a 

 heavy crop, as was Melody and Varie- 

 gated Lawson. Enchantress and Rose- 

 pink Enchantress were still among the 

 top-notchers. Pink Delight carried a 

 heavy crop and is well liked. Afterglow 

 looked, better than it is usually seen.

Winona and White Perfection were also 

 in first-class shape. Boiler-rooms, pack- 

 ing-shed, flower room and everything else 

 on the place were scrupulously clean. 

 Further refreshments were served here, 

 and the party photographed before leav- 

 ing. 



Judge Hoitt insisted on a short call 

 being made at his handsome residence 

 on the return journey, and his aviaries 

 of rare birds were inspected. The judge, 

 not to be outdone in hospitality, com- 

 pelled the party to accept something 

 more for the inner man. 



August Gaedeke & Co. were next vis- 

 ited and darkness fell by the tim(^ the 

 houses had been looked over. Carna- 

 tions here looked extremely well. A 

 house of Fair Maid was particularly 

 good. Bay State, White Perfection, 

 Beacon, Enchantress and others were all 

 well done. There were also excellent 

 batches of Easter lilies, Lorraine be- 

 gonias, poinsettias, azaleas and a fine 

 general line of stock, in which the firm 

 does a large business. Gaedeke & Co. 

 also furnished a most generous collation

for the visitors, and the open-hearted hos- 

 pitality and kindness received in Nashua 

 on the first club outing to the Granite 

 state will long live as a pleasant memory 

 with all who were fortunate enough to 

 be present. Rousing cheers were given 

 the generous hosts before leaving, and 

 Boston was reached in good season, all 

 present voting the outing the best ever.
