NEWS OF THE CLUBS AND SOCIETIES 



MASSACHUSETTS HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



Two exhibitions are scheduled by 

 the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety for the first week in September. 

 The first is the dahlia show, which 

 will be held at Horticultural Hall, 

 Wednesday and Thursday, September 

 4 and 5. From the widespread interest 

 in this popular flower it is safe to say 

 that this exhibition will surpass any- 

 thing ever seen before in this coun- 

 try, as entries have been made by the 

 principal commercial and amateur 

 dahlia growers of New England. In 

 addition to dahlias there will be also 

 fine displays of seasonable flowers, 

 fruits, and vegetables. This exhibition 

 is free to all and will be open Wednes- 

 day from 12 m. to 6 p. m., and Thurs- 

 day from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. The sec- 

 ond exhibition of the week is the an- 

 nual exhibition of the products of chil- 

 dren's gardens. This will be held Sat- 

 urday, September 7, from 12 to 4 

 o'clock. Numerous prizes are offered 

 for collections of flowers and vegeta- 

 bles from school gardens. It will be 

 an unique and interesting display.

LACHINE (P. Q.) HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



A Very successful flower show was 

 held under the auspices of the Lachine 

 Horticultural Society in City Hall. A 

 large gathering of friends attended, 

 and strong encouragement was accord- 

 ed by the people of the town. The 

 formal opening took place on August 

 22 by F. D. Monk, M. P., and 

 A. J. Dawes, president of the Lachine 

 Society. The society was congrat- 

 ulated on the fine exhibition presented, 

 and deservedly so. The competition 

 was larger, better and keener than 

 formerly. The honors in the profes- 

 sional section were contested between 

 Messrs. C. McHugh of Forest and 

 Stream Club; Joseph Bennett, florist; 

 G. Vreugde, gardener to Mr. C. M. 

 Hays; C. A. Smith, gardener to Mr. 

 E. A. Dawes; E. Pewtress, gardener 

 to Mr. Allan; J. Edwards, gardener to 

 Mr. Pepin; A. Cole, and others. 



The list of the amateurs is too long 

 to be reported, yet the following gen- 

 tlemen should not be omitted for their 

 large and good exhibits: Messrs. F. S. 

 Watson, F. J. Church, J. Bartlett, B. 

 Massie and K. Robinson. 



FLORISTS' HAIL ASSOCIATION OF

 ists' Hall Association on Thursday

PASADENA GARDENERS' ASSO- 

 CIATION. 



On the evening of August 16 the 

 members of the association met at the 

 home of Mr. Cooledge. They were in- 

 vited to inspect the many different 

 varieties of tropical and sub-tropical 

 fruits grown out of doors, among 

 which were eleven varieties of grapes. 

 The subject of magazines or papers 

 for gardeners was laid before the body 

 and as a paper for Southern Califor- 

 nia has been long talked of, it was 

 decided to issue a monthly paper. 

 "The Pasadena Gardens" was the name 

 selected and the initial number will 

 be issued about December by the 

 Association. Messrs. Blake, Campbell 

 and Cooledge were appointed to raise 

 stock subscriptions. Considerably 

 over $.5000 has been secured. 



topic of plant breeding will be dis- 

 cussed. 



SOUTHAMPTON HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The regular monthly meeting of this 

 society was held on August 12, Presi- 

 dent Clark in the chair. Vice-Presi- 

 dent Halsey showed a fine collection 

 of flowers. Mr. Griffin, gardener to 

 Mr. Howard Townsend, showed fine 

 Carmen No. 1 potatoes, and explained 

 his method of culture. The subject of 

 using Bordeaux as a spray for pota- 

 toes was ably discussed and the ma- 

 jority seemed to think the only way 

 to have success in potato growing in 

 this climate was to use it. The ques- 

 tion box brought out the usual inter- 

 esting exchange of opinions. The next 

 meeting will be on .September 9. The 

 soci'ety will hold a flower show on the 

 afternoon and evening of September 4.
