NEW BEDFORD HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety accepted an invitation from 

 James Garthley to hold its monthly 

 meeting in the greenhouses of H. H. 

 Rogers on Friday evening, Nov. d, 

 this being one of the days of the an- 

 nual free exhibition. 



\n interesting discussion upon the 

 culture of chrysanthemums was held. 

 There was a good attendance of old- 

 timers and the discussion was well 

 flavored with reminiscences of the time 

 when New Bedford gardeners could fill 

 the old skating rink with magnificent 

 specimens of the Autumn Queen. 



During a recess the houses were in- 

 ted and light refreshments served. 

 The general verdict was, that people 

 might t-;i' :] i i and pay fat admission 

 lees and not si i I iter. With the ex- 

 ception of a few very fine plants, the 

 stock was pertaps more than usually 

 overgrown, necessitating a looser style 

 in< this, combined 

 with th<= use of a number of pompons.
