The Lenox (Mass.) Horticultural 

 Society has voted not to give its an- 

 nual ball this year. This vote was 

 taken after a discussion of the general 

 conditions in Lenox and the country, 

 and is a step toward conservation of 

 energy and money. It will be the first 

 year in the history of the society that 

 It has not given a ball, which always 

 has been a leading entertainment in 

 village life. Moreover, the horticul- 

 tural society will not hold its annual 

 shows in 1918. 



A NEW SEMI-MONTHLY PUBLICA- 

 TION. 



The Southern Farmer will begin its 

 career in the interest of Livestock, 

 Agriculture. Horticulture, and Poultry, 

 on March 10, 1918, at Poteau, Okla- 

 homa, the home town of its editor, 

 J. E. Fleming. 



We are pleased to welcome the 

 Southern Farmer to the growing fam- 

 ily of agricultural publications and to 

 extend our best wishes for its success. 



COVER ILLUSTRATION. 



We take pleasure in presenting one 

 more picture in the series of views in 

 famous horticultural places in the far 

 east collected by R. M. Ward in his 

 recent tour. The illustration speaks 

 for itself and its features of interest 

 will be at once apparent to the plants- 

 man. 



NEW CORPORATION. 



Austin, Tex. — Potter Floral & Con- 

 fectionery Company, capital stock, 

 $75,000. Incorporators, Herbert L. and 

 Jennie A. Potter, W. D. Wise and M.

Ben Hammond, of Beacon, N. Y., is 

 nothing it not original. His latest is 

 his wonderful calendar for 1918. It 

 is not pictorial but for information 

 about things people want to know, 

 for hundreds of things we hunt around 

 for and waste time on, it Is a jewel. 

 G«t one if he han anv left.
