AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF 

 NURSERYMEN. 



The Convention of this Association 

 al Cleveland of which we gave a par- 

 tial account last week was a great suc- 

 cess in point of numbers and enthu- 

 siasm and the splendid hospitality ex- 

 tended by the nurserymen and others 

 of Cleveland and vicinity is a contin- 

 ual toiiir of praise and happy remlnis-

 Nurserymen. 



cfnce on the part of the returning del- 

 egates. The program was carried out 

 very fully and the business transacted 

 was of the kind that the trade gener- 

 ally will derive much benefit from. 



The election of officers for the com- 

 ing year resulted in the choice of 

 Henry B. Chase as president; E. S. 

 Welch, Shenandoah, la., vice-president, 

 Peter Youngers. Geneva, Neb. (re- 

 elected) treasurer. The veteran secre- 

 tary. John Hall of Rochester. N. Y., de- 

 clined a re-election, but will hold over 

 until a suitable successor is selected 

 by the Executive Committee. The 

 president-elect is president of the 

 Chase Nursery Company, Chase, Ala., 

 and has been an efficient worker in the 

 ranks of the society. The selection of 

 the next place of meeting was an en- 

 grossing event while it lasted. Invita- 

 tions were numerous. San Fran- 

 cisco, Detroit, Atlanta. New Orleans, 

 Atlantic City, Buffalo, St. Louis 

 and several other cities putting 

 in eager claims. The San Francisco 

 boomers made a great appeal but when 

 the votes were counted Detroit was the 



winner on the basis that for the se- 

 rious business of the society it would 

 be a better location and those mem- 

 bers who wish to see the Panaraa-Pa- 

 cific show can do so at their own con- 

 venience. 



MEDFORD HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY. 



The Medford (Mass.) Horticultural 

 Society held its anual June exhibition 

 on Tuesday, the 23rd, and although 

 the city has been suffering from 

 drought yet excellent exhibits were 

 staged. The various tables were artis- 

 tically arranged by Mrs. D. J. Puffier 

 and her aids comprising the exhibi- 

 tion committee. Individual exhibits 

 also showed good taste in arrange- 

 ment. Especially to be commended 

 were the centrepieces for dinner 

 table, there being quite a few en- 

 tries, and not a poor one among them. 

 The principal prize winners were Miss 

 R. M. Arrington. Hon. Wilton B. Fay, 

 Mrs. Harry Highly. Mrs. Helen Mc- 

 Kay and Alfred Wilmot. Messrs. Cam- 

 eron. Harvard Botanic Garden. John- 

 son of the Converse estate. Maiden, 

 and Stewart of the Lawrence estate,

 mation by addressing Mrs. D. J. Puf- 

 ler. chairman of the exhibition com- 

 niiifee. Georce F. Stewart. 



CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The regular bi-monthly meeting of 

 this society was held on Friday eve- 

 ning. June 26th. An invitation was 

 received from Prof. A. G. Gulley, of 

 the Connecticut Agricultural College, 

 to meet at that place with the Pomo- 

 logical Society and the Vegetable 

 Growers on July 22nd and 23rd. and it 

 was unanimously voted to accept the 

 invitation. 



This was "hardy perennials" night 

 and one of the finest collections -vi'as 

 staged by Warren C. Mason, John F. 

 Huss and W. W. Hunt, containing in 

 the neighborhood of 161 varieties, and 

 with a magnificent display of Canter- 

 bury Bells by Fred K. Wisner and of 

 sweet peas by John C. Willard, it made 

 a glorious sight. Messrs. Mason and 

 Willard received a first-class certifi- 

 cate each, and Messrs. Huss, Wisner 

 and Hunt received certificates of mer- 

 it. Mr. Mason remarked on the pecu- 

 liarities of some of the varieties in his 

 collection, selecting certain specimens

 ing in, etc. The meeting was well at- 

 tended.
