TARRYTOWN HORT. SOCIETY 



The regular montlily meeting uf the above 

 society was held in Masonic Hall,, Feb. 15, 

 with President T. Wilson presiding. 



This was carnation night and brought 

 forth a most meritorious lot of exhibits, 

 both in quality and quantity, from far and 

 near. A vase of Remington Red from G. 

 Warburton & Sons, Fall River, Mass., 

 which showed deeper color than Belle Wash- 

 burn, with fine stem, was highly commended. 

 From A. N. Pierson, Cromwell. Conn., a 

 fine vase of improved Mrs. C. W. Ward, a 

 lovely cerise pink, full flower, but stem 

 rather weak, 70 points ; a vase of crimson 

 sport from Scott Bros., Elmsford, a much 

 more pleasing color than Dagmar, which 

 will undoubtedly make a mark in the future. 

 J. Grant's prize for the best vase of 12 carna- 

 tions was awarded to Wm. Jamieson. w'ith 

 a vase of Laddie, which were par excellence. 

 A splendid vase of Iris Tingitana from J. 

 Tansey, Tu.xedo Park, caused considerable 

 discussion. Mr. Tansey informed our Presi- 

 dent that fully 90 per cent of the bulbs 

 flowered. Other exhibits, too numerous to 

 mention, were all of high quality. Wm. 

 Graham read a very clear, concise and in- 

 structive paper on the culture of carnations, 

 which was well received. 



J. W. Smith and A. D. Hutchinson were 

 elected to active membership, and who, upon 

 being presented to the craft, suitably re- 

 sponded.
