The Weekly Florists' Review. 



sUARY 24, 1901. 



LINCOLN, NEB. 



Meeting of Nebraska Hort. Society. 



Lincoln has had its full quota of meet- 

 ings this week, there being the annual 

 meetings of the Horticultural Society, 

 Agricultural Society, State Forestry 

 Association, Poultry and Pet Stock, 

 Swine Breeders and several others. 



The Horticultural Society had a very 

 pleasant and profitable meeting. There 

 was a good show of fruits and flowers, 

 though no premiums were ofl"ered. At 

 the election of officers the following were 

 chosen for the ensuing year: Geo. A. 

 Marshal, president; L. M. Russell, first 

 vice-president; G. S. Christy, second 

 vice-president; Peter Younger, treas- 

 urer; Clyde Barnard, secretary; Louis 

 Henderson, E. F. Stephens and W. J. 

 Hesser, board of directors. 



Messrs. Henderson and Hesser repre- 

 sent the floral wing of the society. The 

 election again testifies to the worth in 

 which they are held by this society, Mr. 

 Henderson having served several years 

 as director and Mr. Hesser as both vice- 

 president and director. These gentle- 

 men will see that the florists fare well 

 at fche hanfls of the society. 



Many interesting papers were read, 

 among which were the following: W. 

 J". He.sser, Plattsmouth, "Culture of 

 Palms and Ferns"; Lewis Henderson, 

 Omaha, "Plants for Winter Blooming"; 

 J. H. Hadkinson, Omaha, "Tidbits in 

 Horticulture and Floriculture"; Paul 

 B. Floth, Omaha, "Proper Soil for Flori- 

 culture"; L. 0. Chapin, Lincoln, "Vines 

 and Creepers." inese papers were pre- 

 pared largely as aids to amateur culture. 



We also had with us F. W. Taylor, 

 who has been a member of our society 

 for years, serving several years as presi- 

 dent and secretary, and who was super- 

 intendent of horticulture at the Trans- 

 Missis.sippi Exposition, and is now at 

 Buffalo. In fact we lacked only J. Aus- 

 tin Shaw to transfer ourselves back to 

 Omaha, as we had Peter Younger, of Ge- 

 neva, Geo. Marshall, of Arlington, and 

 Henry Augustine, of Normal, 111., all 

 of Trans-Mississippi fame.

 the alleys (rented by Scott by the yciii 

 we shall expect to come home loaded 

 down, not only with trophies in shape of 

 cups, badges and diamonds, but with a 

 better idea of the importance of our pro- 

 fession as regards horticulture and flori- 

 culture. 



The society passed resolutions asking 

 the legislature (now in session) to make 

 a liberal appropriation for an exhibit of 

 horticulture, agriculture and forestry at 

 the Pan-American. 



Among the visitors from other states 

 were Silas Wilson, of Atlantic, Iowa, 

 and Henry Augustine, of Illinois. Both 

 of those gentlemen took part in the ses- 

 sions and stayed through the entire 

 meeting, which was held on January l.'j 

 16 and 17. L. c. Chapin.
