THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



way and Thirty-first street, New York, Tuesday, March 

 24. Some fine prizes were contributed in general. Chas. 

 H. Totty, toastmaster, was in usual good fettle. W'ni. 

 Anderson, Lancaster, Mass., responded to the toast of 

 the private gardener. M. C. Ebel, secretary National 

 Association of Gardeners, reviewed its wonderful prog- 

 ress and his remarks were to the effect that its co-opera- 

 tive plan with local societies is already assured of suc- 

 cess. Richard \'incent, Jr., "the oldest gardener," took 

 occasion to speak glowingly of that noble gardener, Wil- 

 liam R. Smith, urging the private gardener to do his 

 share so that a suitable memorial may be erected. Wil- 

 liam H. Duckham, of the New York Florists' Club, spoke 

 of the flower show and said he believed that hereafter 

 New Y'ork would have annual spring shows. James 

 Stuart, of the New Wirk Horticultural Society, declared 

 that that organization had placed itself in the front rank 

 of horticultural activities. Arthur Herrington, the land- 

 scape gardener, urged a closer bond between all branches 

 of horticulture. John W. Everett, on "good fellowship," 

 said there was none better to be found than among the 

 gardeners. The trade was well represented and respond- 

 ed freely to the call of the toastmaster.
