The Florists^ Review 



ADGD8T|20, 1914. 



LANCASTER, PA. 



Club Outing. 



One of the most pleasant outings in 

 the history of the Lancaster County 

 Florists' Club occurred Thursday, Aug- 

 ust 13, when President B. F. Barr and 

 wife entertained the club members and 

 a few invited guests at Avondale farm, 

 their beautiful home on the Marietta 

 pike. At 2:15 the party left Lancaster 

 and upon arriving at Avondale in- 

 spected the farm of 100 acres. 



Everything was found in tiptop 

 order. The immense plantings of ever- 

 greens, fanc;y^ shrubbery, shade trees, 

 orchards and formal garden were of 

 much interest to all. In addition are 

 many acres of tobacco, corn and po- 

 tatoes. The members indulged in sports 

 on the beautiful lawn. In bowling on 

 the green E. P. Hostetter, Jacob Flear, 

 Mr. Schaefer, of York, and A. M. Herr 

 defeated by a narrow margin L. S. 

 Landis, Ira Landis, H. K. Eohrer and 

 A. K. Eohrer. Pitching quoits, croquet 

 and card playing were also in order. 

 At 6:30 an excellent luncheon was 

 served on the lawn. After cigars had 

 been passed the monthly meeting of 

 the club was called to order by Presi- 

 dent Barr. 



H. K. Rohrer spoke about his recent 

 trip to the British Isles and France, 

 particularly of the parks and flowers 

 seen there, and his visit to Wm. Wells, 

 Merstham, Surrey, England. The club 

 .decided to send a beautiful prize to be 

 awarded in the bowling contest at the 

 Boston convention. Also a substantial 

 amount will be sent to Chairman W. F. 

 Gude toward the Smith memorial fund. 



At the next meeting, in September, 

 C. F. Edgar will speak on "The 

 Florists' Business from a Eetail Point 

 of View." Our special representative 

 at the S. A. F. convention, Albert M. 

 Herr, will give his report. 



One of the most enjoyable events of 

 the evening was the delightful piano 

 music by Mrs. Nellie Eichler. The 

 illuminations about the veranda and 

 lawn were most beautiful. On the 

 motion of Charles M. Weaver, a vote 

 of thanks was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. 

 Barr for their kind hospitality.

The 20% Discount Holds Good 

 on the Complete Line 



€tThe offer was good for two weeks. One week has 

 already gone. The other ends August Slst. Right 

 up to, and including that last day, we will gladly 

 give you this very liberal discount of 20%, but the 

 offer is not good on a single day after that Slst day. 



CSo you who haven't already ordered— you better 

 get about it, or first thing you know this last week 

 will be gone and you'll feel like kicking yourself 

 for letting such a money-saving chance slip by.
