TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



Hort. Society Meeting. 



The Tarrytown Hort. Society held 

 its regular monthly meeting in the 

 Vanderbilt building on Thursday even- 

 ing, the 26th ult. The treasurer read 

 a very satisfactory financial report. 

 showing that he could more than meet 

 all the expenses likely to be incurred 

 at the forthcoming show on Nov. 10th 

 and 11th. Several committees gave in 

 reports in connection with the same, 

 and on the whole everything seems to 

 be in readiness and on a satisfactory 

 footing. 



Wm. Turner, gardener to Wm. Rock- 

 efeller, Tarrytown, was appointed cur- 

 ator of the exhibition. [Mr. Turner is 

 eminently fitted for such a post, and 

 all may expect courtesy and fair play 

 at his hands. 



John Boshard, Irvington, liobert 

 Henderson, Steven Bradley and Joe 

 Money, Hastings, were elected to mem- 

 bership. V. H. Pilat, Sing Sing, David 

 McFarlane. gardener to Walter Webb, 

 Beechwood. Scarborough, and Samuel 

 Mathieson, assistant gardener, Beech- 

 wood, Scarborough, were proposed. 



A. L. Martin, gardener to Mrs. C. C. 

 Worthington, Irvington, 1 showed a fine 

 vase of cosmos, which was greatly ad- 

 mired. 



Several members spoke in very feel- 

 ing terms of the late Chas. Weise. Mr. 

 Weise is the first member that we have 

 lost by death since the society's for- 

 mation, and in his death we all feel 



that we have lost a personal friend. 

 In connection with this the following 

 resolution was offered and unanimous- 

 ly adopted: 



Whereas, In the inscrutable wisdom of 

 Almighty God. Mi. hand of death has 

 been placed upon our fellow member, Mr. 

 Chas. Weise. 



Whereas. His death removes from our 

 midst one who was a prominent figure 

 amongst us. Whose tireless energy on 

 behalf of this society, whose keen insight 



into horticultural matters made 



valuable member anil associate 



Be it resolved, That we each ami all of 

 us feel a personal grief in his death. Thai 

 we tender to his stricken relatives tin- as- 

 surance of our profound sympathy with 

 them, in the sorrow that they arc called 

 upon to bear. 



That these resolutions be put on record 

 in our minutes, ami a copy thereof be sent 

 to the relatives of the deceased.

 Mr. Thekon Parker. 



Brooklyn. N. V. 

 Dear Sir : — Your Model Carna- 

 tion Support is all right in every 

 way and will no doubt be consid- 

 ered as necessary as good plants 

 with growers when better known. 

 I consider it the best on the mar- 

 ket, and it your other specialties 

 are equally as good, they should 

 make another addition to the mon 

 ey-makersof igoo.

 Dear Sir: — It gives me much 

 easure to congratulate you upon 

 success in getting up carna- 

 supports. 1 think that those 

 e had from you are about as 

 perfect as anybody will be able to make them. They 

 certainly fill my bill for an ideal carnation support, a 

 thing I have been looking for a long time. Wishing you 

 every success in the sale of them, I am,
