The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Sii:pxGMBBR 16, 1909. 



WASHINGTON. 



Qub Meeting. 



A ciab feast that will be memorable 

 among the annals of the epicures of the 

 Washington Florists' Club was provided 

 September 7 by Edward S. Schmid. The 

 feast came at the close of a meeting of 

 the club at Eagles' hall. The crustacean 

 waa serred in every style known to the 

 culinary art, and with accompaniments 

 that made a merry evening for those who 

 catered t« the * ' soul beautiful, ' ' as Eob- 

 ert Montague described it in an address 

 replete with eloquence. In the course of 

 the fea«t Robert Griffith gave some clever 

 imitations, and Prof. Victor regaled the 

 company with laughable stories. After- 

 ward, in the hall above, there was a 

 vaudeville entertainment. 



At the business meeting of the club, at 

 which President F. H. Kramer presided, 

 W. F. Gade made an address in which 

 he explained the position of the automo- 

 bile floral parade committee of the Wash- 

 ington Chamber of Commerce with refer- 

 ence U the exclusive use of natural flow 

 ers in decorations for the parade. Mr. 

 Gude also announced that Philip Breit- 

 meyer, mayor of Detroit, had accepted 

 the invitation to act as judge of the 

 parade, and with Mrs. Breitmeyer would 

 be present when it occurred. 



Reference was made to the annual in- 

 vitation of R. Vincent, Jr., & Sons Co. to 

 visit the dahlia farms at White Marsh, 

 Md., a treat which the club will be 

 obliged to forego this year because of the 

 floral parade. 



President Kramer announced the ap- 

 pointment of a committee to' cooperate 

 with the general committee in the floral 

 pageant, and also to make the necessary 

 arrangements for the fall exhibition of 

 the club, which will be held from No- 

 vember 7 to 14 of this year, as follows: 

 George H. Cooke, superintendent; W. F, 

 Gude, press; George C. Shaffer, pro 

 gram; E. C. Maybury, entertainment 

 Edward S. Schmid, publicity; F. H 

 Kramer, advertising; J. E. Freeman, in 

 side decoration of hall for the exhibition , 

 W. Marche, outside decorations; Peter 

 Bisset, solicitor; John Robertson, recep- 

 tion, and Secretary O. A. C. Oehmler, as 

 secretary. 



It was decided to have the club repre- 

 sented in the floral parade by a large 

 touring car, appropriately decorated. 



Among the guests were Charles Bever- 

 idge, past president of the Eagles' Club; 

 Jacob W. Collins, chief operator of the 

 Western Union Telegraph Co.; Dr. 

 Theodore Moore, of the weather bureau; 

 Col. Samuel Melton, who has explored 

 much in the far north, and the following 

 florists: George C. Shaffer, Frank H. 

 Kramer, William F. Gude. William 

 Marche, G. G. Hammer, B. Winkler. W.
