LOCAL SOCIETIES 



coming forward for the Society's Jubilee 

 Show, the total offered now being nineteen 

 and more are forthcoming. J. F. Piper 

 made a motion that the society should en- 

 courage the monthly exhibit by presenting 

 the competitor scoring the largest numbci 

 of points with medals or suitable presents 

 for their efforts. This motion was unani- 

 mously accepted by the members. Two new- 

 members were elected. J. F. P. 



WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD 



At the March meeting of the above So- 

 ciety, an address by the secretary, O. .\ddor, 

 on "The Responsibilities and Opportunities 

 of the Gardener," proved to be verv inter- 

 esting. 



His main point was the urging of horti- 

 cultural societies to take more interest in 

 community work, our members in particu- 

 lar being asked to do everything possible 

 in helping the small home owner to m.ake 

 his surroundings attractive and beautiful. 

 He advocated members giving advice and 

 timely suggestions, saying it would be 

 greatly appreciated by those iKople who are 

 always eager to receive advice from a re- 

 liable source. He called attention to one 

 of our neighboring societies which has in- 

 augurated open meetings for visitors who 

 are interested in horticulture. Under this 

 scheme they w-ill be able to hear lectures on 

 various subjects and also ask questions. If 

 this proves a success, it is quite probable 

 our Society will follow suit. Influential 

 townspeople of Greenwich have started a 

 Boys' Club as a means of keeping the little 

 fellows off the street and one of our mem- 

 bers has been delegated to wait on these 

 leaders to urge them to place gardening 

 on their schedule. Garden work has proved 

 the most congenial occupation and has 

 worked more successfully with the boys in 

 other cities than any other occupation, and 

 if we can get them interested, it may mean 

 that some of them at least may take up 

 gardening as a profession. 



When you start thinking about your 

 Dahlias, think also of the show this Society 

 is going to hold in September at New Ro- 

 chelle. George Hewitt, Cor. Sec. 



NASSAU CO. (N. Y.) HORT. SOC. 



The monthly meeting of the above societj,- 

 was held on March 9. President William 

 Xoonan occupied the chair. Two petitions 

 lor active membership were received. The 

 committee reported the schedule for the 

 Tulip Show and from the variety and num- 

 ber of classes, all should be able to compete. 

 The society held its annual dinner on March 

 15. Mayor James Burns, of Glen Cove City, 

 acted as toastmaster. About 100 members 

 and guests lined the festive board. Mayor 

 Burns presented a small token from fellow 

 members to Ex-president Twigg.
