YONKERS HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



At the meeting of this society on 

 Friday, Feb. 3rd, the dinner commit- 

 tee reported that all arrangements 

 were made for a good time on Tuesday, 

 Feb 7th. H. Scott received first prize 

 for some very fine callas, H. I. Dells 

 was second with excellent Californian 

 violets. It was decided to hold a so- 

 cial session every second month, mem- 

 bers donating good things for the one 

 to be held in March. A sick commit- 

 tee was appointed to visit all members 

 who are ill, reporting to the society 

 at regular meetings.

DETROIT FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The last club meeting was to bring 

 out a paper on the Christmas business 

 by Mr. Ponchelon, but unfortunately 

 he did not prepare anything. Still, 

 he absolved himself very well of his 

 obligation and the only fault to be 

 found with it was that he only remem- 

 bered the hard work and the heavy 

 extra expenses. He even thought of 

 the twine and wrapping paper bill, but 

 he never said a word about profits. 

 The discussion following his interest- 

 ing narration was more of an opti- 

 mistic strain and perhaps more just. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety will hold an exhibition early in 

 April, when it is intended to make a 

 public display of Easter stock; and 

 it is expected that a fine exhibit will 

 be made that will interest the public 

 and stimulate Easter trade.
