Field Day. 



The club will hold Its second field 

 day of the year, nt Milton, Mass., on 

 Saturday afternoon, .June 8, 1918, on 

 invitation of Mr. Natluuiiel T. Kidder. 



To reach Mr. Kiddt-r's estate, mem- 

 bers can take a train at the South 

 Station at 2.25 p. m.. or elevated trains 

 to Forest Hills, there transferring to 

 Milton and Mattapan cars and getting 

 off at Milton Lower Mills. We would 

 like all who possibly can, to be at Mil- 

 ton Lower Mills at 2.45 p. m. It is a 

 very pleasant walk from there to Mr. 

 Kidder's, but we have arranged for 

 motors or barges to convey any who 

 prefer riding to walking. Some of our 

 members will undoubtedly come in 

 their own cars, and will go direct to 

 352 Adams Street. Milton. We would 

 like all to be on hand by 3 o'clock. 

 Ladies are. as usual, cordially invited 

 to be present.

 at its next regular meeting on June 18.

 foUow-ed by refreshments and dancing

 cation to the secretary. Additional

ROCHSTER, N. Y. 



Senator and Mrs. John B. Mullen 

 will celebrate their 29th wedding an- 

 niversary on June 24 at their home on 

 Wellington avenue, and also the mar- 

 riage of their daughter Margaret to 

 Mr. John Baird of this city. 



JIany nurserymen and florists re- 

 port business as very active, but they 

 have been very much handicapped 

 with such a shortage of men and the 

 demand for the planting and other 

 work necessitated their help to work 

 several hours overtime dally. 



The old-time firm of Ellwanger & 

 Barry Nursery Co. is to be dissolved, 

 but the Ellwanger & Barry Realty 

 Co. will be continued. This Is dis- 

 tinct from the Nursery Co. and will 

 not be affected by the latter's dis- 

 solution. The stockholders of both 

 concerns are the heirs of George Ell- 

 wanger and Patrick Barry, who were 

 pioneers in the nursery business in 

 Rochester. The business grew by 

 great strides and soon the name of 

 Ellwanger & Barry was known in hor- 

 ticulture circles in most of the United 

 States. William C. Barry was con- 

 nected with the founders of the firm 

 for a number of years, and it is 

 largely owing to this company that 

 western New York has become famous 

 for its apples. The firm also dissemi- 

 nated valuable knowledge on the rais- 

 ing of other fruit and ornamental 

 trees. Products of the firm's nur- 

 series are to be found in parks and 

 gardens all over the world.
