The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



AUGUST 25, 



MADISON, N. J. 

 Club Notes. 



Morris county gardeners and florists 

 anticipated a great meeliug on 

 Wednesday last, Mr. S. B. Elliott, of 

 Reynoldsville, who is staying with Mr. 

 F. A. Bell in Madison, having promised 

 to entertain the members with stere- 

 opticon views of and to give a general 

 talk on astronomy. The elements were 

 unpropitious. however, and the lecture 

 was postponed. There was a fair at- 

 tendance of members, however, when 

 President Duckham called the meeting 

 to order; also another noble display of 

 garden and wild flowers. 



In the wild flower class A. Herring- 

 ton secured the full award of 15 points 

 with 120 named varieties, E. Reagan 

 coming next with 13 points for a su- 

 perb collection of 84 varieties. P. Cox 

 made another gieat display of peren- 

 nials and President Duckham brought 

 down a nice collection of cannas. 

 among which President McKinley was 

 particularly conspicuous ana fine. 



The advisability of a fall show was 

 next discussed. It was decided to have 

 one, and committees were appointed to 

 ;ecure a hall and draft a schedule, the 

 same to be ready for distribution two 

 months before the date of shov/. The 

 hall committee report having secured 

 McAlpin's hall. Morristown, for Tues- 

 day and Wednesday, November 1 and 

 2; so the show will be held on these 

 dates. 



- The Morris county society i-uts up a 

 fine show from its own membership, 

 but it would welcome some outside 

 ^ompetition, and anyone desiring 

 schedules with a view .of entering may 

 obtain the same as soon as ready on 

 application to our secretary, Chas. H. 

 Atkins. Madison, N. J. 



It was announced on behalf of Mr. 

 Elliott that he would give his proposed 

 lecture any night convenient to the 

 members, so the Masonic hall was en- 

 gaged for Saturday night. The occa- 

 sion was made an open one and a 

 goodly audience was on hand. We 

 were shown marvelous views of the 

 latest achievements of stellar photog- 

 rj'aphy and provided generally with a 

 great intellectual treat. A. H.
