With two objects in view, one to 

 broaden the culture ot garden flowers, 

 the other to hold a great flower show, 

 as an aid to that purpose, announce- 

 ment is made of the formation of the 

 Horticultural Society of Buffalo. The 

 formation of the society has been in 

 progress for some time and additions 

 to its membership are still being 

 made, though its organization and 

 plans are sufficiently advanced to have 

 fixed upon a date for the holding of 

 the flower show, the Issuance of its 

 lists of premiums and the selection 

 of officers. 



The honorary president of the so- 

 ciety, Dr. Matthew D. Mann, is also 

 the president of the society for beau- 

 tifying Buffalo, and a man deeply in- 

 terested in the culture of flowers. Dr. 

 Mann has done much in the Interests 

 of beautifying Buffalo and the other 

 members of the society are enthusias- 

 tic over the prospects of a great flow- 

 er show in Buffalo this coming fall.

 for the entire week of November 11th

 ested. Prof. Cowell of the Botanic

 dren's day will be one of the special
