EASTERN BRANCH OF AMERICAN 



ASSOCIATION OF PARK 



SUPERINTENDENTS. 



This is the name of a new society, 

 subordinate to the American Associa- 

 tion of Park Superintendents, which 

 was organized at Hartford, Conn., on 

 February 2G. It was at a little re- 

 union of a few of the original mem- 

 bers of the former New England As- 

 sociation that later broadened out into 



a national society, which Superintend- 

 ent Parker of the Hartford park de- 

 partment had called together for the 

 purpose of reviving old comradeships, 

 that the sitggestion was made and en- 

 thusiastically acted upon to organize 

 a local body which might meet more 

 frequently and cultivate the social and 

 fraternal relations to better advantage 

 than is possible in the national body 

 with its widely scattered membership. 



By-laws and rules conformable to 

 those that govern the larger associa- 

 tion were adopted, and officers were 

 elected as follows: President, .1. A. 

 Pettlgrew, Boston; secretary-treasurer, 

 G. A. Parker, Hartford, Conn.; execu- 

 tive committee, the president, secre- 

 tary-treasurer and W. J. Zartniaun of 

 Brooklyn, N. Y. The first meeting will 

 be hold in Brooklyn, April 16, 1909. 



Among those present were J. A. Pet- 

 tlgrew and J. B. Shea, of Boston park 

 department; Robert Cameron, Botanic 

 Garden, Cambridge, Mass.; G. X. Am- 

 rhyn, of New Haven parks; Samuel 

 Parsons, Jr., superintendent of New 

 York parks; Geo. A. Parker, of Hart- 

 ford parks; J. F. Huss, Goodwin Cas- 

 tle, Hartford; J. D. Fitts and Mr. Bar- 

 ker of Providence parks; W. J. Zart- 

 mann, superintendent of Prospe<;t 

 Park. Brooklyn; Mr. Ladd of Spring- 

 field, and .7. H. Hemingway of Worces- 

 ter, and C. E. Keith of Bridgeport de- 

 partments, and W. J. Stewart of HOR- 

 TICULTURE. 



FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held at Eagle's Hall, March 

 2. Owing to the stress of business, 

 incident to the approaching inaugural 

 ceremonies, there was an unusually 

 slim attendance. 



The re-election of President Kramer 

 was made unanimous, as was that of 

 Vice-President Robertson. For secre- 

 tary, James L. Carbery re-iterated his 

 declination of the office, despite the 

 pressure brought to bear to the con- 

 trary, and O. A. C. Oehmler was elect- 

 ed. Wm. T. Gude was elected trea- 

 surer. On the board of directors. 

 Geo. H. Cooke and Theo. Dietrich 

 were chosen. As is the custom of the 

 club, the new officers will take their 

 seats at the next meeting, which will 

 close with a banquet. Geo. Shaffer 

 was elected chairman of the banquet 

 committee, assisted by J. L. Carbery, 

 J. K. Davis and Geo. H. Cooke. All 

 details will be decided later.
