At the banquet at Chateau Laurier, 

 R. J. Irwin of New York responded 

 well for "Our Sister Societies". The 

 retiring president E. .1. Hayward was 

 presented with a gold watch and Mrs. 

 Hayward a cameo pendant. Mr. Irwin 

 again shone as a' speech maker in 

 making the presentation to Mrs. Hay- 

 ward. 



N. Y. FEDERATION OF HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETIES. 



A meeting of the New York Federa- 

 tion of Horticultural Societies and 

 Floral Clubs will be held at the New 

 York State Fair Grounds in Syracuse, 

 N. Y., at two o'clock, on Wednesday 

 afternoon, September 11. There are 

 several important questions to come 

 before the Federation at this time and 

 it is hoped that there may be a good 

 representation of delegt,tes from the 

 various organizations in the Federa- 

 tion. The room in which the meeting 

 will be held has not been definitely de- 

 cided upon, but information regarding 

 the place of meeting may be obtained 

 from Professor David Lumsden, Super- 

 intendent of the Flower Department.

The Connecticut Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation held their annual summer 

 outing, August 21, 191S, at Lake Com- 

 pounce, Connecticut, reaching this 

 delightful spot by auto. Fine turn- 

 out, and a good baseball game. In 

 fact, the enthusiastic fans had two 

 games. The losers were so badly 

 beaten that they begged the writer 

 not to mention the soore. The feature 

 of the game was the unusual batting 

 ability displayed by Messrs. Campbell 

 and Barnes. It seemed that the 

 pitcher was unable to get a ball past 

 them. The management at Compounce 

 is to be congratulated upon the bar- 

 bacued sheep dinner it served, differ- 

 ing from some resorts, in that we 

 were bounteously served at table. The 

 Association held no business meeting. 

 Everyone ai)peared to enjoy his or 

 herself.
