FEBRUARY MEETING. 



The Horticultural meeting held at the Court House, on Saturday 

 evening, proved one of unusual interest to all present. 



Mr. Heinl took time by the forelock, and the Society by surprise, by 

 stealing into the court room at an early hour, and filling a table with 

 choice flowering pot plants and a magnificent collection of cut roses. 



A lovely fuchsia, less than three months old, burdened with opening 

 buds, attracted considerable attention. This plant came from the East, 

 as something new, under the name of "Mrs. Marshall," or "The 

 Widow Marshall;" but Mr. Heinl recognized it as an old variety, in 

 cultivation for many years. He declared that those liastern men were 

 running "crooked," and he ought to and would "squeal."
