GARDENERS' BOSTON MEETING. 



Through the courtesy of the Society 

 of American Florists and Ornamental 

 Horticulturists, the National Associa- 

 tion of Gardeners will hold its summer 

 meeting in Paul Revere Hall (Mechan- 

 ics Hall), Boston, on Wednesday, Aug. 

 19th, at one o'clock, this being the con- 

 vention hall of the S. A. F. All gar- 

 deners, and all interested in the pro- 

 fession of gardening, are cordially in- 

 vited to attend this meeting. Several 

 able speakers from different parts of 

 the country will address the meeting 

 on subjects pertaining to the profes- 

 sion of gardening and horticulture In 

 general. 



All members in a position to attend 

 the summer meeting should make ev- 

 ery effort to do so: to show an interest 

 in their national association. The trip 

 to Boston offers several days of pleas- 

 ant vacation where the visitors will 

 find much to entertain them. From 

 the horticultural point of view there 

 are few places to be visited in this 

 country which would prove more in- 

 teresting than a trip, to Boston and Its 

 vicinity. 



An executive meeting of the trustees 

 and directors, as provided in the by- 

 laws, will be held on Wednesday morn- 

 ing, the 19th, at nine o'clock, at the 

 Copley Square Hotel, the headquarters 

 of the association. 



Many of the members, going by way 

 of New York, have decided to travel 

 by the outside line of steamers, leav- 

 ing foot of Murray street on Monday, 

 17th, five o'clock.
