The Morristown Dinner. 

 On Tuesday, January 23, the Morris 

 Co., (N. J.) Horticultural Society be- 

 came of age, and it celebrated the 

 twenty-first anniversary ot its forma- 

 tion in a befitting manner. And a feast 

 it was! From the time Landlord Piper 

 made the clock strike seven until the 

 midnight chimes which were heard 

 from around the comer acted as a cur- 

 few and bade all the jolly good fellows, 

 who were not a bit sleepy, a fond good 

 night. 



The dinner was a sumptuous one 

 and the decorations were so lavish as 

 to give the hall the semblance ot a 

 flower show more than a banquet. At 

 the speakers' table over which the 

 toastmaster, Riphard G. Hollaman pre- 

 sided, sat Edward Reagan, secretary of 

 the society; William H. Duckhani 

 treasurer; Frank Breare, president; 

 Britton D. Evans, Hon. Daniel S. Voor- 

 hees and Hon. George W. Downs. Af- 

 ter the first courses amateur enter- 

 tainers, who are members of the so- 

 ciety, sang several popular songs and 

 amused with an eccentric dago dance. 

 The toastmaster took for his subject 

 in the opening address, "What I Know 

 of the Cannibal or Insect Eating 

 Plant." This speech was to consume 

 an hour and half of time, but as the 

 speaker said, he was covered with con- 

 fusion and blushed to admit that he 

 had come away from his home with- 

 out it. He said In part that at the 

 original organization meeting of the 

 association eight men who were in- 

 terested in their professions attended 

 and that there are four here tonight, 

 Messrs. Reagan, Herrington, Totty 

 and Duckham, and that they all should 

 feel proud of their accomplishments, 

 and of their success as fathers of the 

 society, for today the active member- 

 ship is over one hundred. 



Arthur Herrington, who was the as- 

 sociation's first president, was next 

 called upon, and while he did not ad- 

 mit it, it was rumored that the an- 

 niversary punch which had just been 

 served was his own "seedling." Mr. 

 Herrington said he had long looked 

 forward to this night, for this was the 

 Bight that his infant, the society, had 

 become of age. He then jokingly spoke 

 of some of the reminiscences of the 

 society in its early days, and of the 

 advancement of horticulture in New 

 Jersey. One man advised h(m not to 

 publish a paper he had prepared, for 

 by so doing he was giving to the public 

 the secrets of his profession. But the 

 paper was published, and tonight's 

 events speak for themselves, and the 

 man who was afraid of giving the 

 secret to the public is unheard of in 

 his profession. 



Mayor Otto Ross was next called 

 upon and for the first time gave away 

 his secret to the public, admitting that 

 he was a gardener, as well as a mayor, 

 and should anyone doubt his integrity 

 they might call at his residence any 

 time next summer and see his garden 

 which occupies a plot two by four feet. 

 Dr. Britton D. Evans paid a great 

 tribute to the florists for the part they

take in furnishing something that adds 

 to the beauty of the world, and brings 

 joy to the distressed. He said that 

 he was thinking of the things which 

 make life beautiful and expressed the 

 thought that a few roses meant more 

 to the living than whole wreaths to 

 the dead. He added that while he is 

 not a florist he is supposed to throw 

 flowers in the liuman pathway. 



J. Austin Shaw, replied with a poem 

 and a toast to the press and the (ab- 

 sent) ladies. Charles Weathered, one 

 of the oldest members of the New 

 York Florists' Club, was then caught 

 as he was about to leave the room, and 

 was prevailed upon to tell several 

 stories and give the history of his or- 

 ganization. 



Edward Reagan next spoke on "The 

 Individual Member" and said that 

 while the organization has attained a 

 place second to none In the trade, as 

 well as in the national shows, that 

 the work while in many cases attri- 

 buted to an association was in many 

 cases, due to an individual. And here 

 he made a presentation speech and 

 presented William H. Duckham with 

 a diamond stick pin, composed of a 

 cluster set in platinum, as an expres- 

 sion of the estimation in which he is
