These growers certainly have sweet pea culture down to a fine art. ANNUAL OUTING. The annual outing of the Buffalo Florists' Club took place as per sched- ule, with everything as last year, even to the rain, which' fortunately stopped about 2 p. m. The delegation, headed by the committee, arrived about 3 p. m., and following a few minutes after, and greatly to the surprise of everyone, were Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Palmer, both taking an active part in the effort to make all enjoy themselves. The first event on the program was a ball game, captained by Dave Scott for the growers and John Kramer for the retailers. Upon being assured that the credentials offered were satisfac- tory and a bond being given for his agreeing to be fair in all decisions, L. H. Neubeck was allowed to umpire and "Grandpa" did his work well, consider- ing he had to satisfy Ed Slattery, Louie Hock, Toby Shank and Jake Mayer, the "millionaire chauffeur" of Anderson's, not counting the young blood that had to watch out and not fall over the first named old gentleman. The winning team, as usual, was the growers. Next was boys' race and after inven- tory, two Neubecks and one Streit boy were the winners. Everybody's race was won by Eddie Stroh. Fortunately for him he was so short that a two-minute start was never noticed by the tall ones, and Eddie had a walk-away. I will refrain from mentioning the names of the participants or the win- ners in the young ladies' race, only to say that Main street got two prizes, and one lady carried considerable weight.
