LOCAL SOCIETIES 



A number of requests have been re- 

 ceived recently to have the reports of 

 meetings of local societies appear in the 

 CHRONICLE. These columns have al- 

 ways been open to the gardeners' soci- 

 eties for news not merely of local inter- 

 est, and we will print all items of general 

 interest to the gardener and his profes- 

 sion.— EDITOR. 



SEWICKLEY (PA.) 



The regular monthly meeting was held 

 Feb. 8, with President John Carman presid- 

 ing. 



Robert Lloyd, representing the Edge- 

 worth Borough Council, addressed the mem- 

 bers in connection with contemplated im- 

 provement and beautifying of Way Fark, 

 Edgeworth, briefly outlining what it is pro- 

 posed to do, and solicited suggestions, and 

 the aid of the society. President Carman 

 appointed Alessrs. Shaw, Barnett, Gibson 

 and Carman a committee to go over the 

 ground with Mr. Lloyd and make sugges- 

 tions as to what can be done to the best 

 advantage. 



It was decided to hold a flow'er show in 

 the Fall, and that the co-operation of the 

 Allegheny Garden Club be solicited with 

 this end in view. P. W. Popp, of New 

 York, was a visitor and gave an interesting 

 talk on the cultivation of the dahlia, and 

 also on the aims and objects of the National 

 Association of Gardeners. He pointed out 

 that the day is rapidly passing when the 

 gardener is nothing more than a domestic 

 servant, but a man of professional training 

 and wortliy of recognition as such. 



Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Boggs, Mr. and Mrs. 

 E. A. Woods, Mr. and Mrs. Clapp w-ere 

 elected to membership.
