The Weekly Florists' Review* 



AUGUST 3, 1899. 



TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



The Tarrytown Horticultural Soci- 

 ety held its regular monthly meet- 

 ing in the Vanderbilt building, Thurs- 

 day evening, July 27. The night was 

 very warm, and sultry, and business 

 was somewhat tiresome. The date of 

 the chrysanthemum show was fixed as 

 November 10 and 11, and the execu- 

 tive committee was instructed to pro- 

 cure suitable judges forthwith. Pre- 

 liminary schedules were issued, but 

 as funds still continue to come in, 

 the present amount of prize money 

 will be largely increased and proba- 

 bly a few extra prizes added. 



John Fotheringham and Philip 

 Hamilton, Tarrytown, were unan- 

 imously elected to membership. John 

 H. Corneth and Jeremiah Herett were 

 proposed. 



The secretary read a letter from the 

 Westchester County Gardeners' Soci- 

 ety, inviting the members to accom- 

 pany them to the nurseries of Henry 

 A. Dreer, Riverton, N. J., August 9th, 

 the occasion being their annual out- 

 ing. Several of the members said they 

 would gladly embrace the opportuni- 

 ty. This is another instance which 

 goes to show that the gardener is 

 married to his vocation. This is to be 

 a day's outing, a day of pleasure, a day 

 of social fellowship — yet with all, a 

 day of business and instruction. The 

 Westchester friends have wisely 

 selected their rendezvous. A day of 

 social enjoyment is assured and at 

 the same time a finer place than 

 Henry A. Dreer's for educational pur- 

 poses could hardly be found in the 

 United States. We wish the boys bon 

 voyage and clear skies. 



Wm. Marshall, of J. M. Thorburn & 

 Co., New York, is at present in this 

 district persuading us that their bulbs 

 this year are second to none.

 only, after which he will be at the De- 

 troit convention. He says Detroit is 

 the coolest, handsomest and' friendli- 

 est city in the Union. 



GIRARD, O— Geddes & Pressley

 greenhouse. 



ASHLAND, 0.— A. C. Lamprecht is
