Nassau County Horticultural Society. 



The eleventh annual dinner of this 

 well-known and useful organization

 Tuesday evening, January 23, and 

 notwithstanding the unfortunate tact 

 that the Morris County Horticultural 

 Society away over on the other side of 

 New York was also jollifying on the 

 same night, there were seventy-five 

 guests at the tables so bountifully 

 supplied at the "old reliable" Oriental 

 Hotel where so many delightful sym- 

 posiums have been enjoyed. The new 

 president, James McCarthy. oi:ened the 

 postprandial exercises with a brief but 

 very appropriate introduction. The

 fine scarf-pin, which drew from the re- 

 cipient an appreciative response. 



Wm. J. Stewart, editor of Hortkti.- 

 ruRE, Boston, was then presented as 

 toastmaster and the feast of oratory 

 and song and merriment was turned

 Lang Syne" was sung with fervent

The eighteenth annual dinner of the 

 Tarrytown. N. Y., Horticultural So-

 .Ian. 16. and it proved to be the most 

 enjoyable affair held under the aus- 

 pices of this live and vigorous society. 



The long dining room looked like a 

 flower garden; never before have the 

 decorations been so elaborate. An- 

 other feature that added to the pleas- 

 ure of the evening was the starting of 

 the dinner promptly at 7.30 o'clock. 

 Starting the dinner earlier gave more 

 time for speechniaking and the
