NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



Election of officers was the chief 

 business on hand at the December 

 meeting of the New York Florists' 

 Club which was held on Monday even- 

 ing, 14th inst., and a large attendance 

 was present, the interest centering 

 especially in the contests for president 

 and treasurer. The result of the vot- 

 ing showed the following gentlemen to 

 be the choice of the club for the vari- 

 ous offices for the coming year: 



President, B. V. Hallock; vice- 

 president, Harry Turner; secretary, 

 John Young, reelected by unanimous 

 vote; treasurer, W. B. Rickards, Jr.; 

 trustees, F. H. Traendly, Paul Daille- 

 douze. John Scott and Robert Simp- 

 son. Previous to the voting, H. A. 

 Bunyard for secretary, W. W. Burn- 

 ham for vice-president and Patrick 

 O'Mara and Alfred Zeller for trustees 

 asked to have their names withdrawn 

 from the ballots and permission was 

 accordingly granted. 



On the exhibition table were a num- 

 ber of fine exhibits, prominent among 

 which were vases of superb flowers 

 of . White Killarney rose, brought u.v 

 Mr. Donohoe in person from Waban 

 Conservatories, Natiek, Mass., and from 

 F. R. Pierson Company, Tarrytown, 

 N. Y. The judges awarded 86% points 

 and the committee will observe it 

 growing at Mr. Pierson's place before 

 making final judgment. A vase of 

 seedling carnation "66" from E. u. 

 Enggren, Aqueduct. L. I.; cerise in 



color, got 85 points and a preliminary 

 certificate. Votes of thanks were giv- 

 en Jacob Voght of New Rochelle for 

 a Christmas tree support and to Moore- 

 Livingston Co., Lansdowne, Pa., for 

 |heir adjustable plant stand. 



The interest and enthusiasm dis- 

 played at this meeting and the repre- 

 sentative character of the men in at- 

 tendance speaks well for the healthy 



vigor of this club, and president-elect 

 Hallock can 1m- depended upon to car- 

 ry on the work and maintain the High 

 character of the organization in a 

 manner which will redound to his own 

 credit and the best interests of the 

 members. 



NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY. 



The Newport Horticultural Society 

 held its annual meeting Dec. 8th, when 

 the following officers were elected for 

 the ensuing year: 



President, James Robertson; first 

 vice-president, Samuel Speers; second 

 vice-president, William G. Postings; 

 treasurer, Andrew K. McMahon; re- 

 cording secretary, Patrick F. Reynolds; 

 financial secretary, Andrew S. Meikle; 

 sergeant-at-arms, William F. Smith. 

 Executive committee: John T. Allan, 

 Bruce Butterton, Alexander McLellan. 

 Stewart Ritchie, James Boyd, Robert 

 Patterson, William J. Matson, Win- 

 field S. Sisson, and all the above of- 

 ficers. 



Much regret was expressed by the 

 members that John T. Allen, the re- 

 tiring president, would not accept the 

 position for another year. He has 

 been a very paintaking and efficient 

 president. 



D. J. Coughlin, the past recording 

 secretary, has been quite sick for sever- 

 al weeks but we are pleased to learn 

 that he is on the mend and we hope 

 soon to see him around again. 



At the above stated meeting James 

 H. Cockcroft of Northport, L. I., had 

 on exhibition a vase of his white seed- 

 ling carnation Georgia, which was 

 awarded a certificate of merit. Thomas 

 Galvin of this city had on exhibition 

 a plant of a pink seedling begonia of 

 the Gloire de Lorraine type which was 

 also awarded a certificate of merit. 



The report of the treasurer showed 

 the society to be in a very prosperous 

 condition.
