Newbury Co., Magnolia, X. O ) MO. silver water set). Another thing which, filled with the sparkling waters of Lake St. Clair, ever to be found on your table, will also remind you of us. May it al- ways have that place and be used instead of the growler. There is nothing but re- freshment and contentment to be had in that bowl. With these things I bid you an affectionate adieu, and hope you may always carry in your heart love and af- fection for the old S. A. F. I have just remembered that somebody gave me something else, at the last mo- ment. What have we here? A beautiful charm to hang upon your w^atch guard as a talisman, and may it ever be a talis- man through life to protect you among the evils that oftimes beset us. Upon it is the crown of glory. May you ever wear the crown of glory as the crowning evidence of the love of the S. A. F. When you depart this lile for a better one those who come after you and their heirs will say: "These are evidences that the memory of Mr. Breitmeyer still dwells in the hearts ot the old florists, whose greatest pleasure has always been to make happy their fellowman, and beau- tify that portion of the terrestial sphere where the great Creator has placed ; MR. BRETMEYER'S reply. Mr. Carmody, ladies and gentlemen:— To say that I am overwhelmed about covers my feelings. » I had been trying to think of words I might say when your first presentation was made; but when I find testimonials coming in lots, you will simply have to excuse me and accept my grateful and hearty thanks. I would ask you to remember that as long as Breit- meyer is alive he will work for his fellow florists and the S. A. F. I thank you, and cannot say anything more. G. W. Brown's Address. G. W. Brown, superintendent of the British horticultural exhibit
