NEWS OF THE CLUBS AND SOCIETIES 



MORRIS 

 AND 



COUNTY GARDENERS' 

 FLORISTS' SOCIETY. 



The November meeting of the society 

 was well attended, everyone being 

 anxious to know how the society made 

 out financially with the flower show. 

 In more than one way it has been our 

 most successful show; and the attend- 

 ance is the best we ever had. In a 

 great measure this is due to the indivi- 

 dual members pushing the sale of 

 tickets. We have a nice balance in our 

 treasury, too, by the way. Officers for 

 ensuing year were nominated as fol- 

 lows: President, Harold B. Vyse; 

 vice-president, Thomas Stokes; 

 treasurer, Wm. Duckham; secretary, 

 Edw. Reagan; executive committee, 

 Percy Herbert, Robert Tyson, A. Her- 

 rington, C. J. W. Ottolauder, Wm. G. 

 Badgley, A. R. Kennedy, C. H. Totty, 

 Ernest Wild, R. M. Schulz, Wm. Muhl- 

 michael, David Falconer, Joseph A. 

 Manda. Special cash awards were 

 voted to II. B. Vyse for grapes and 

 display of Lorraine begonias; A. Her- 

 rington for specimen chrysanthemum 

 with 800 flowers,— award goes to the 

 grower, Robert Tyson; Wm. Muhl- 

 michael for his monster Boston fern; 

 Percy Whaites for his honey and seed 

 corn. C. H. Totty and R. M. Schultz 

 gave their impressions of the Chicago 

 show, which were highly complimen- 

 tary to the western growers. Carna- 

 tions and roses were beyond anything 

 they had ever seen in the east. The 

 annual election of officers takes place 

 Dec. 9. E. REAGAN. 



FLORISTS' AND GARDENERS' CLUB 

 OF RHODE ISLAND. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island 

 was held Nov. 1G. The following offi- 

 cers were elected for 1909: President, 

 Chas. S. Macnair; vice-president, Rob- 

 ert Johnston; secretary, Wm. E. Chap- 

 pell; treasurer, Wm. Hill; librarian, E. 

 H. Appleton: executive committee, 

 Cornelius Hartstra, E. H. Appleton, 

 James Hockey. 



It was a very spirited meeting with 

 about two-thirds of the membership 

 present. James Dillon of Swan Point 

 Cemtery exhibited a number of branch- 

 es well-berried of a sport from Euony- 

 mus radicans. After the meeting re- 

 freshments were served and a jolly 

 good time was enjoyed. 



W. E. CHAPPELL. 



NORTH SHORE HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



This society held its regular bi- 

 monthly meeting, Nov. 6; the speaker 

 was Eric Wetterlow: subject, Chrysan- 

 themums. A well received paper was 

 read. Chrysanthemums as good as the 

 best were shown from the Thayer, the 

 R. C Hooper and the Lester Leland 

 estates. The discussion committee re- 

 ported good results from its circular 

 notices sent out in advance of each 

 meeting. Refreshments were served 

 as usual. 



ROBERT A. MITCHELL. 



SPRINGFIELD, (0.) FLORISTS' 

 CLUB. 



At. the meeting on Nov. 10 a notable 

 display of chrysanthemums and carna- 

 tions was made by C L. Reese, who 

 briefly explained his methods of grow- 

 ing and casually added that he grew 

 the vases as well as the flowers. These 

 proved to be shapely gourds. The con- 

 struction and heating of greenhouses 

 was the topic for the evening, the 

 vacuum system receiving marked at- 

 tention. Opha Jackson promised an 

 address later on from an expert in this 

 system. Mr. Mellen reported that E. 

 G. Hill could address the club on his 

 European trip on Dec. 14, and It is 

 probable that the December meeting 

 will be changed to that date. C A. 

 Reese and C. C Leedle were appointed 

 a committee to outline a plan for a 

 flower show next fall. The new houses 

 recently erected by Chas. Unglaub, 

 Gustav Schneider and the Leedle Ro- 

 sary Co., with the enterprise of Mr. 

 Reese and other retailers, have given 

 a strong impetus to the business here.
