The Florists^ Review 



July 25, 1912. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market. 



Conditions have now got back to a 

 better standing, as we have had some 

 much needed rains. Crops have taken a 

 decided change and outdoor stock is 

 improved a hundred per cent. Carna- 

 tion plants will be ready to house in a 

 week or two and all flowering stock 

 was saved just in time from the long 

 siege of dryness. Asters are still small, 

 but they fill in nicely instead of car- 

 nations, which are small and poor. 

 Sweet peas are extremely short- 

 stemmed. Gladioli are just starting in, 

 and as yet the better colors are not in 

 the market. 



Club Picnic. 



The much talked of picnic was all 

 that was expected in every way. The 

 day was ideal, the crowd was more 

 than was expected and the details were 

 carried out to the letter. The ball game 

 was the first on the program, and not 

 until the last man was out did the ex- 

 citement cease. The east side won by 

 the score of twelve to ten, but it would 

 have been a different story had the 

 west siders used their find earlier in the 

 game. He was some pitcher and only 

 the base running of Joe Streit and the 

 coaching of Ed Slattery defeated him 

 at the last minute of play. 



In the other athletic events, while 

 the Olympic records were not broken, 

 the contests were keen and all decided 

 by close margins. The tug of war was 

 the most exciting and was the cause of 

 more enjoyment than any other event 

 on the program. The events were de- 

 cided as follows: 



Tug of War — Won by greenhouse men, two out 

 of three. , ,^ 



100-yard Dash— Ed Smith, Ed Walther, John 

 Walker. 



Ladles' Race— Miss Hanjen, Miss KlrchhofT, 

 Miss TllUe Stroh. 



Boys' Race — George Horrison, Ed Domarls, 

 J. Meyer, Ed GaskiU. 



Three-legged Race — Greyer-Walthers, Klnklc- 

 Doble. 



Old Men's Race — L. Neubeck, J. Metherell, 

 F. Sonnenberg. „^ 



Men's Race — John Prelsac, E. Bruecker, Ed 

 Slattery. 



Children's Race — Miss Adams, Miss Mann. 

 Miss Streit, Miss Prelsac. 



Sack Race — Jack Jerome, W. GreTer, Ed 

 Walther. „ 



Hop, Step and Jump— R. Klnkle, W. Grever, 

 J. Stump. , „, . 



Consolation Race— A. Kinkle, Ed Kiefer, J. 

 Meyer. . , 



Bowling— Mr. Mansfield, C. Sandiford. 



Immediately after the games the 

 party was escorted to the dining hall 

 and, after a brief session of music, the 

 dinner was served to the largest 

 crowd that has attended a florists' pic- 

 nic in many years. After the banquet, 

 all listened to a few remarks from the 

 president and some other speakers. 

 William Legg, one of the oldest mem- 

 bers of the club, gave a heart-to-heart 

 talk to the younger set, and later sug- 

 gested a silent toast to two of the pio- 

 neers and hard workers of the club — 

 W. J. Palmer and William Scott. The 

 large crowd rose quickly to their feet 

 and silence prevailed. 



The youngfl5,,Bet then adjourned to 

 the dance hall and the bowlers went 

 to their pleasures. This separated the 

 happy throng, who, it is hoped, will 

 meet many more times ^ and on such 

 pleasant occasions as this one. 



Various Notes. 



Edward KieffeVbHyer Wor the Will- 

 iam Scott Co., is taking his vacation 

 on a fishing trip. 



Henry Weber, formerly of Buffalo, 

 now of Springville, reports his place 

 as looking tiptop. E. A. S.
