GARDENERS' CHRONICLE 



ing various authorities that ah fruits had 

 been killed. The consensus of opinion of 

 those present was that all fruits with few 

 exceptions, were not killed. A few tender 

 plants such as Magnolia, etc., however, 

 have lost their flower buds. 



A drawing followed with the hrst prize, 

 a quilt, donated by A. Huber, and six other 

 valuable prizes, to increase the convention 

 fund. L'nder the guidance of E. Strehle 

 $175 was placed to the fund for showing 

 the attendant convention members a regu- 

 lar St. "Louie" time.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y., HORT. 

 SOCIETY 



The regular monthly meeting was held 

 March 27. 



John Maier was elected vice-president to 

 succeed Thomas J. Morris, our esteemed 

 late vice-president. In his death the society 

 lost a worthy member and a successful ex- 

 hibitor. This being gardeners' night, all 

 busitiess was soon concluded and the bal- 

 ance of the evening devoted to a good social 

 time. The entertainment committee pro- 

 vided a smoker, with light refreshments. 

 There was not a dull moment after James 

 McDonald started things going with the 

 bagpipes. Chas. J. Woi.d, Rec. Sec'y. 



STAMFORD, CONN., HORT. 

 SOCIETY 



At the mooting held March 31 the mem- 

 bers responded generously to the last call 

 for the $14,500 drive, required for their 

 hall. The loan was not only oversubscribed 

 but enough money was received from the 

 members to make sure the ladies will be 

 seated at the opening. The president, 

 Henry Wild, and the building committee 

 deserve all the credit for their energetic 

 work. The meeting was well attended and 

 with the mass of exhibits one hardly would 

 believe we just turned our backs on the 

 hard Winter we had. The members, not 

 only by words but by deeds, are showing 

 what the society stands for: "Efficiency As- 

 sures Success." Twenty-one new members 

 were elected and one honorary member. 

 Following were the awards for the evening.

II the pool is well arranged 

 oms and thick pads of water 

 rm the most attractive draw- 

 d a park can possess. People 

 'ays stop to examine and ad- 

 e delicately tinted blooms. 



The tender sorts have proven 

 est for ordinary use, as they seem 

 etter able to endure extreme heat 

 and every day conditions than the 

 hardy sorts. Their blooms display 

 more vivid coloring, while in size 

 they are larger than the other.
