The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



FEBRUARY 



1S99. 



LENOX, MASS. 



The Lenox Horticultural Society 

 held a meeting January 2L when there 

 was exhibited a very fine vase of 2d 

 or more very fine spikes of Buchans 

 Amazonica, grown and exhibited by 

 Elmcourt P^arm, Mr. William Griffin 

 superintendent They received a first 

 class certificate and were very worthy 

 of it being well grown, with very long 

 stem's and a good many flowers on 

 each Elmcourt Farm also exhibited 

 carnations, Wm. Scott, Lily Dean and 

 Albertini, securing diploma on this 

 collection. 



We also had the pleasure of an ex- 

 hibition from Mr. John N. May of his 

 celebrated carnation, ■'Melba," which 

 we certificated. Mr. Chas. R. Russell 

 opened a discussion on vegetables 

 which brought out experiences from 

 different members and, altogether, it 

 was a very instructive meeting.
