The Florists^ Review 



May 15, 1913. 



WASHINGTON. 



Club Holds Banquet. 



"This is the age of specialization," 

 said Adolphus Gude in a short talk 

 given before the members of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, their ladies and friends, at 

 the annual banquet at the New EbUTtt 

 House last week, "Select your spe- 

 cialty," he said, "and grow that spe- 

 cialty just a little better than the other 

 fellow does. You will find that the 

 storekeepers will come around and want 

 your stock." He urged the florists to 

 refrain from raising prices for Mothers' 

 day. Mr. Gude also made the speech 

 presenting to ex-President and Mrs. 

 David J. Grillbortzer a handsome cut 

 glass water set, the gift of the members. 



The banquet was one of the most suc- 

 cessful affairs ever given by the club 

 and the evening was made more enjoy- 

 able by music and songs rendered by 

 Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Callow and Mr. 

 and Mrs. Arthur D. Peirce. Ernest 

 Geichner also gave a quasi-comical talk 

 on his experiences as an employer and 

 on other matters, which elicited both 

 laughter and applause. 



Richard Vincent, Jr., of White Marsh, 

 Md., was among the speakers, telling 

 of his experiences abroad and of the 

 superiority of some of the products of 

 the domestic growers. 



Mrs. J. A. Phillips and Mrs. Rosina 

 Stauff were the speakers from among 

 the ladies and they were followed by 

 J. Rosnosky, of Philadelphia, who, re- 

 ferring to the recent flower show, stated 

 he hoped to see in his home city two 

 years hence. a show that would outclass 

 even the historic Boston show. 



In line with the effort to secure an 

 enactment of laws which would operate 

 to close all business establishments on 

 Sundays, O. A. C. Oehmler asked that 

 the support of the florists be given the 

 movement. He said there is but one 

 excuse for Sunday work, and that is 

 competition. 



N. S. Hammer announced that an out- 

 ing will be held by the bowling team 

 early in August, at Chesapeake Beach. 



Among those present were Messrs. 

 and Mesdames Otto Bauer, W. E. Mc- 

 Kissick, W. F. Gude, Richard Vincent, 

 Jr., David J. Grillbortzer, O. A. C. 

 Oehmler, Arthur Peirce, C. L. Linz, Ed- 

 ward Callow, Ernest Geichner, J. A. 

 Phillips; Mrs. Rosina Stauff, Messrs. 

 Webber, Adolphus Gude, E. C. May- 

 berry, William Marche, R. L. Jenkins, 

 William H. Ernest, Edward Schmid, 

 N. S. Hammer, Frank Millburn, of Bal- 

 timore; I. Rosnosky, of Philadelphia, 

 and the Misses Waters, Gilbert and 

 Schmid. C. L. L.
