Tlie Sfmi-moiUlily meeting of tlie 

 MoimioMth County Horticultural Society 

 was held February 5. President Turner 

 presiding. The meeting was a very in- 

 teresting one and well attended. The 

 cut flower display was grand. H. A. 

 Kettel, gardener to James Loeb. had 

 some fine lily of the valley, roses. Lili- 

 iim Harrisii and narcissi, scoring in all 

 220 points. James Dowlen. gardener 

 to H. L. Terrell, had a well flowered 

 plant of Ccelogyne cristata, a vase of 

 gootl roses and a vase of carnations, 

 scoring in all 235 points. Mr. Dowlen 

 also exhibited several carnation seed- 

 lings, a crimson scoring 90, a red 90, a 

 scarlet 85 and several whites scoring 70 

 points. Geo. H. Hale, gardener to E. T>. 

 Adams, had some well grown freesias, 

 Princess of Wales violets and imantophyl- 

 lum, scoring in all 250 points. The 

 judges of the evening were W. \V. Ken- 

 nedy. A. G. Williams and Wm. Turner. 



The members who visited Tarrytown. 

 X. Y.. to attend the annual dinner of 

 the Horticultural Society, arrived home 

 in pretty good condition, notwithstand- 

 ing the hardships they went through. 

 As I understand, the snow was a little 

 too deep for them in some places, the . 

 elevated too crowded and the ferry boats 

 frozen in their slips. They reviewed 

 their trip in detail, stating they enjoyed 

 it verj' much, especially the dinner nt 

 Tarrytown. J. Yomans, our Oceanic 

 Chauncey Dcpew. made a speech which 

 won't be forgotten for a long time at 

 Tarrytown. 



The discussion of the evening was on 

 experiment stations. San Jose scale and 

 its treatment in winter and summer. 

 Most of the members present took part 

 in the discussion. Mr. Hale asked a 

 question to find the view of the mem- 

 bers, "if tlicy thought it essential for a 

 person learning the gardening profes- 

 sion to study botany to become a good 

 gardener?" Most of those present gave 

 their views, some stating that if a gar- 

 dener could combine and carry the two 

 he would be the stronger, but the gen- 

 eral trend of their views was against it, 

 stating it was not necessai"}', as botany 

 is a study of itself and from their ex- 

 perience and observation botanists as a 

 rule made verj- poor gardeners, ilr. 

 Kettel asked the craft a few conundrums, 

 which were not easily solved, but he 

 soon enlightened them on the difference 

 of things and also explained what some 

 people called patience, which was en- 

 jojed by all. B.
