CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The anmial meeting of the Connecticut 

 Horticultural Society was held in the 

 County Building, Hartford, on Friday eve- 

 ning, December 13. 



The officers who have so faithfully done 

 duty for the past twelve months were re- 

 elected in a body with a few minor excep- 

 tions. This makes President Huss' seventh 

 consecutive year in the chair, w'hich fact 

 speaks volumes for the esteem with which 

 he is held by his fellow members. The so- 

 cietv is in a good condition numerically and 

 financially, there being about 210 members 

 in good standing. The society has bought 

 two additional shares of the Aetna Life In- 

 surance stock, which, with the shares al- 

 ready owned, will bring in a handsome 

 revenue. 



The e.xhibition table was well filled with 

 plants, cut flowers and tomatoes and mush- 

 rooms, all of high quality. 



The judges. Messrs. Petersen, Cumming? 

 and Brown, awarded J. F. Huss first class 

 certificate for four magnificent begonias of 

 the Loraine type. 



Wm. H. Mackenzie, first class certificate 

 for five varieties of sweet peas.

 vases Poinsettias, one vase single and one 

 double varieties. 



J. Zibilleus, first class certificate for to- 

 matoes. 



\V. Mason certificate of merit for vase of 

 beautiful Bonvardias in three varieties.

IMPROVED (ANNAS 



MRS. ALFRED F, CONARD, Introduced 

 In 1010. as a result of 15 .vears' careful 

 work, seemed, to the Exchange represeut- 

 ative as he looked upon it in full bloom, 

 to be one of the greatest creations In 

 Cannas ever sent out. Its very large, 

 clear, salmon-pink flowers, profusely pro- 

 duced on numerous beads, stand erect well 

 above Its ricb green foliage. Its bloom- 

 ing season is apparently long, and it Is 

 certainly one of the most exquisite of the 

 Cnnn.TS whose blooms arc In the lighter 

 cilois. — From The Florists' Exchange of
