NEW HAVEN HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



A meeting of the society was held in 

 their hall on March 5. The feature of 

 the evening was a paper on the Har- 

 risii lily, and the subject was thorough- 

 ly discussed afterward. Owing to so 

 much disease among the lilies many of 

 the growers have stopped raising them. 

 They also entered a protest against the 

 cutting down of the bulbs from 6 to 7 

 to 5 to (i and being obliged to pay the 

 same price. One member stated that 

 he would not get 50 per cent, of what 

 he planted to bloom. The ofHcers 

 elected for the following year are: 

 Wra. Ferrier. president; Hubert Grove, 

 vice-president; David Kydd, treasurer; 

 Waller KeoUa, secretary. The treas- 

 urer's report showed that the society 

 was in a flourishing condition. Their 

 next exhibition is to be held in Music 

 Hall on the 6th, 7th and 8th of No- 

 vember. 



NEW BEDFORD HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



At the monthly meeting of this so- 

 ciety, March 11, the members enjoyed 

 an intere.sting discussion on the sub- 

 ject of the house culture of bulbs, 

 which was led by Wm. F. Turner with 

 an account of his experience as an 

 amateur. He also had upon exhibition 

 a fine pan of Roman hyacinths. 



Thomas Gray of Boston also took 

 part in the discussion. 



The entertainment committee sub- 

 mitted an excellent program for the 

 ensuing year embracing discussions 

 upon bulbs and hardy and herbaceojs 

 plants. Outside speakers and special- 

 ists upon the various subjects will be 

 engaged when possible. 



In the monthly exhibition of plants 

 and flowers the cyclamens were in 

 evidence. Wm. Keith showed two 

 vases of cut flowers; James Garthley 

 showed two fine specimen plants.
