SO- 



The regular meeting of the Lenox 

 Hortifulttiral Society was -held in the 

 Town Hall. Lenox, Mass., Dec. IG. A 

 larger number of members than usual 

 turned out as a compliment to the 

 newly elected officers. Seated beside 

 President Carlquist were Vice-presi- 

 dent Heeremans and Treasurer McOon- 

 nachie. Arthur T. Boddington of New- 

 York and .Jas. T. Scott of Tarr.vtown. 

 were present. A proposition by Mr. 

 Boddington. that the society adopt a 

 scale of judging points for all classes 

 of exhibits drew out a lengthy debate 

 but was finally adopted unanimously. 

 Jas. T. Scott responding to the invita- 

 tion of the president, gave a short 

 talk, dwelling upon the excellence of 

 our exhibits, particularly on the unique 

 construction of our plant groups, 

 and the individuality and taste dis- 

 played. According to him, Lenox was 

 doing missionary work in this respect, 

 the average plant groups at most ex- 

 hibitions partaking of the haycock 

 form and built with plumb and rule 

 precision. He regretted very much 

 that the country at large, did not 

 know more fully, the grand work that 

 was being accomplished for horticul- 

 ture in this section. 



F. R. Pierson & Co., of Tarrytown, 

 N. Y., had on exhibition three vases of 

 new carnations, one each of Helen 

 Miller Gould. White Enchantress and 

 Winsor. Mr. Scott explained the char- 

 acteristics of each variety. Winsor is 

 a beautiful light pink in color, very 

 much resembling Lawson in size, form 

 and stem. Mr. Scott said that in free- 

 dom of growth and production it ex- 



celled that grand old variety, and so 

 far they never had been troubled with 

 bursted calyx. White Enchantress and 

 Helen Miller Gould, sports of Enchant- 

 ress, seem destined to become winners. 

 The latter with its unusual variegation 

 makes a very striking combination. 

 We understand that Miss Gould saw 

 the flowers at Tarrytown, and was 

 very much in love with them, hence 

 the name. Each was awarded a first 

 class certificate. 



The president named the members 

 for the varit)us committees for the en- 

 suing year. He also appointed a com- 

 mittee to draw up resolutions of con- 

 dolence to be sent to the bereaved 

 families of Mr. John Sloane and Mrs. 

 Biddle, both life members of the so- 

 ciety. They both have taken a very 

 active and keen interest in all the so- 

 ciety's doings and subscribed most lib- 

 erally to the funds. Their death is a 

 serious loss to the society.
