The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



ELMIRA, N. Y, 



The Elmira Horticultural Socl'=ty 

 was organized in February, 1S9S. ard 

 is a strong and healthy Infant. Reg- 

 ular meetings have been held on the 

 second Monday evening of each mouth, 

 and lectures and papers on horticul- 

 tural subjects by the members have 

 been presented, and the question box 

 made an important part of the pro- 

 gram each meeting. Prof. L. H. 

 Bailey, of Cornell University, ad- 

 dressed an open meeting of the Society 

 early in April, on lawn making and 

 adornment, and aroused considerable 

 interest in those matters. 



The first exhibition of the society, 

 was held June Kith and 17th in the 

 Y. M. C. A. rooms, and was a decided 

 success. The premiums were not very 

 large, and were offered for roses (col- 

 lections and single specimens), and tor 

 paeonies, pansies, wild flowers, etc., 

 and for strawberries. The quantity 

 and quality of exhibits was very grat- 

 ifying for the first attempt at a flower 

 show in Elmira. The largest exhibi- 

 tors of roses were Rev. E. M. Mills, 

 who grows over a hundred of the 

 finest varieties of hardy roses; Hon. J. 

 S. Fassett, and Hon. H. H. Rockwell. 

 There were many small exhibitors 

 with from one to a dozen blooms, and 

 each found a place. The commercial 

 growers were not allowed to compete. 

 Judging from the number of, people 

 taking notes of the choice varieties of 

 roses it may be said that the society 

 has struck a popular chord, and that 

 rose growing will be greatly increased 

 in this vicinity in the near future. 

 People came from towns thirty and 

 fifty miles away to see the show. The 

 flowers were neatly arranged in uni- 

 form glasses on tables covered wirh 

 white cloth. The rooms were further 

 adorned with palms and flowers from 

 Rawson's and Hoffman's establish- 

 ments. 



It is the purpose of the society to 

 hold a sweet pea show early in August, 

 at which it is also hoped to have dis- 

 plays of asters and gladioli. The in- 

 terest in growing these flowers has 

 greatly increased in this part of the 

 state within a few years, and there 

 are several growers who have a hun- 

 dred varieties or more of sweet peas. 

 If most of these will come out vvith 

 their best flowers, the show will be a 

 great event. 



The society may also attempt a 

 chrysanthemum show in November. 

 The officers of the society are Pres., 

 Rev. E. M. Mills; Vice-Pres., H. N. 

 Hoffman; Secy., R. R. Stockdale; 

 Treas., Rev. Annio F. Eastman.
