TARRYTOWN, N .Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Tarrytown Horticultural Society was 

 held in Vanderbilt hall January 28, with 

 a good attendance. The principal busi- 

 ness was changing the dates of the 

 monthly meetings from the last Thursday 

 to the last Tuesday of each month. It was 

 also decided to try and cultivate more 

 sociability at the meetings, and with this 

 end in view it was voted to have an open 

 evening once every three months, when 

 light refreshments will be served. Some 

 of the members were in favor of having 

 the annual fall chrysanthemum show held 

 in White Plains or Yonkers, but after 

 some discussion it was decided to hold 

 it again in Tarrytown. The dates se- 

 lected are November 1 to 3. 



The prize for this month 's exhibit was 

 awarded to President Jas. Ballant3Tie for 

 twelve roses. His exhibit consisted of ex- 

 cellent blooms of the new Killarney rose, 

 Wootton, American Beauty and Brides- 

 maid. He also exhibited a very fine vase 

 of Killarney roses. These were excep- 

 tionally good and very much commented 

 on. Mr. Ballantyne said it wag a first- 

 class grower, and no doubt more of it 

 will be seen around this vicinity next 

 year. F. Gibson, gardener to Mrs. J. H.

THE STORRS & HARRISON CO. ^^Th"i^^"^" 



Hall, offered a box of cigars as a prize 

 for the best bunch of fifty double violets, 

 to be competed for at the next meeting. 



New members elected were R. Barton, 

 gardener to L. Stern, Tarrytown, and 

 Mr. Parker, of Irvington. Proposed for 

 membership were A. Brown, of Tarry- 

 town, and F. Koenig. 



The business meeting over, the mem- 

 bers adjourned in a body to the Perry 

 House, where a very substantial colla- 

 tion was awaiting, otherwise known as 

 the annual dinner. In all about sixty 

 members and invited guests were pres- 

 ent. The tables were very tastefully 

 decorated with fronds of Nephrolepis 

 Piersoni and vases of roses and carna- 

 tions. The carnations, especially, were 

 the object of much comment. John E. 

 Haines, of Bethlehem, Pa., brought 

 along a very fine vase of a new scarlet 

 variety, named after himself, which was 

 the largest carnation ever seen in Tarry- 

 town. He also had some white and var- 

 iegated seedlings. The F. E. Pierson Co. 

 supplied well grown examples of White 

 Lawson, Daheim and Enchantress, H. 

 Nichols, of Yonkers, brought some very 

 good blooms of Golden Gate roses, and 

 President Ballantyne 's prize winners 

 were also placed upon the tables. 



As soon as the cigars were passed, 

 President Ballantyne, in a neat speech, in- 

 troduced J. M. Smith, of White Plains, 

 as toastmaster. The first to come under 

 his eye was the Hon. C. P. McClellan, 

 who is easily a pa^^aster as an after 

 dinner speaker. He referred to the time 

 when he himself grafiuated from the 

 spade and wheelbarrow, and kept the as- 

 semblage in good spirits with repartee 



and humor. The poet laureate of the 

 profession, J. Austin Shaw, of New York, 

 gave an example of his ability in a poem, 

 which he named Tarrytown, and in which 

 he managed to gather most of the gard- 

 ening fraternity of the neighborhood and 

 named the virtues and qualifications of 

 each. The song bird of the profession, 

 J. J. Butterfield, of New York, warbled 

 his sweetest notes. P. E. Kessler, of 

 New York, spoke for the gardening press, 

 J. Dowling and J. Newman, from the 

 Monmouth County Society, Oceanic, N. 

 J., replied to the toast "The Visitors." 

 Wm. Scott spoke for the gardeners, re- 

 minding those present that theirs was 

 the oldest profession on earth, and good 

 humoredly twitted some of the different 

 professions present and gave some ex- 

 amples of why the Creator did not choose 

 theirs as the first occupation for man. 

 Jas. Scott gave a himiorous account of 

 his experiences as gardener at the House 

 of Bef uge on Randall 's Island. Mr. Mc- 

 Farlane recited in his best form, and 

 after a few more speeches the evening 

 came to a close with votes of thanks and 

 the singing of Auld Lang Syne.

DATE OF EASTER. 



Note that Easter, 1904, falls on April 

 3. In 1905 Easter will be the latest 

 in many years, falling on April 23. 



Hamilton, O, — Theo. Bock says stock 

 is in very fair shape throughout this dis- 

 trict. Carnations are the best sellers, 

 better than roses.
