London Horticultural Sociity d. cided 

 at a meeting last Monday evening to 

 abandon the annual fruit and flower 

 show. The society was enthusiastic 

 enough over the project but it was 

 deemed manifestly impossible to make 

 the affair a success without the co- 

 operation of outsiders. Several days 

 ago announcement was made of Mon- 

 day night's meeting. The fact that no 

 interest was visible resulted in the 

 giving up of the event. 



The session of the Southampton 

 Horticultural Society, Thursday even- 

 ing, October 16th was given over 

 to a stereopticon lecture on Horticul- 

 ture and Floriculture, ,by John T. 

 Withers, landscape architect. Our 

 secretary said in his introductory ad- 

 dress, "if we do not grow and go for- 

 ward we miss the purpose for which 

 we are placed here. Our society is 

 trying to lead forward and upward in 

 its sphere: that is the purpose of the 

 speaker of the evening." Mr. Withers 

 began his address with views of some 

 of the familiar shrubs. He showed 

 views of the different stages of the 

 methods of filling cavities in tree 

 trunks and interesting pictures of the 

 large trees of California, followed by 

 scenes in many foreign lands gathered 

 while on a trip around the world in 

 1910. Mr. Withers is thoroughly versed 

 in his subjects, and an instructive and 

 interesting speaker. Any society that 

 is fortunate enough to procure him to 

 lecture will certainly be elevated and 

 carried forward in horticultural lines.

A HORTICULTURAL PROJECT IN 

 BOSTON. 

 The outlook for a permanent horti- 

 cultural building in the Back Bay 

 Fens of Boston looks bright. Certain 

 street improvements and the develop- 

 ment of the Fens in the vicinity 

 of the Museum of Fine Arts are 

 urged by the Park and Recreation 

 Commissioners and have the cor- 

 dial support of Mayor Fitzgerald, who 

 is at all times an advocate of anything 

 tending to horticultural advancement 

 or the expanding of the park facilities 

 for the benefit of the people. Should 

 the contemplated improvements be 

 favored and prompt action taken, as 

 we hope, the city of Boston will have 

 something unique to show to the S. A. 

 F. Convention visitors next August.
