WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Plans are being perfected by the 

 Washington Florists' Club to entertain 

 the members of the Society of Amer- 

 ican Florists when that organization 

 holds its annual convention in Balti- 

 more the third week in August. Nearly 

 a {thousand of the visitors, who come 

 from all sections of the country, will 

 come to the Capital City one day dur- 

 ing the week as the guests of the local 

 club. An elaborate social program will 

 be arranged, with a trip down the river 

 and automobile rides to the various 

 places of interest. As yet the program 

 is only tentative and will be until the 

 club officials have had an opportunity 

 to hold a meeting to decide on the best 

 means of entertainment. 



The excursion of the Washington 

 Florists ' Club to Huntsville July 12 was 

 voted a huge success by the 200 guests 

 who went down to the grounds. Every- 

 body had the best time possible, with 

 plenty of eatables and games of all sorts 

 and descriptions. The only accident 

 that occurred during the entire day was 

 when William F. Gude's electric run- 

 about ran out of power several miles 

 from the festivities. 



Everybody from 12-year-olds up to 

 the graybeards had a hand in the ath- 

 letic events. Mrs. George C. Schaffer 

 won first prize for pitching the ball into 

 the basket, open to married women. 

 Mrs. Holts won second prize. The same 

 event, open to single women, was won 

 by Miss Florence Guttman, £rst prize, 

 and Miss Mary Kimmell, second prize. 

 The guessing contest, in which the 

 guessers tried to tell the number of 

 American Beauty roses contained in a 

 large box, will be open for the next 

 meeting of the Ladies' Club of the or- 

 ganization the first week in August. No 

 one guessed within several dozen of the 

 correct number, so the prize was not 

 awarded. The same fate was meted out 

 to the tape-measure guessing event. 

 The retail florists went down to defeat 

 in the baseball game.

This is the U-Bar 

 — the Bar that 

 makes U-Bar 

 Greenhouses the 

 famous green- 

 houses they are. 



This one we erected in Montreal. See how grace- 

 ful aiid attractive it is — how different from the usual 

 run of the "cut-and-dried " kinds you see hitched on 

 so many houses ! 



U-Bar conservatories are not only attractive, but 

 they are in every way practical. That's saying a lot. 

 It is the U-Bar that makes them so. We are the only 

 U-Bar conservatory and greenhouse builders. The 

 construction is patented. Send for catalogue — it 

 shows a goodly number of examples of each.
