 SEPTEMBER 12, 13, 14, 15

 day evening. June 30, about 35 members present, including a number 

 from Manchester. Prides Crossing, Ipswicli and other North 

 Shore resorts. Robert Cameron, president of the N. A. G., 

 presided and called the meeting to order. W. N. Craig, general 

 chairman of the convention committees, spoke of the duties which 

 would fall on each committee, and the inembers expressed a 

 willingness to see the same carried through. 



Meetings will be held at Horticultural Hall, at the corner 

 of Huntin.gton and Massachusetts .\ves., which is a short car 

 ride from the Back Bav Station of the N. Y., N. H. and H. 

 R. R., and the Trinity Place Station of the Boston & .\lbany R. R. 

 A constant stream of cars pass the hall as the heart of Boston 

 is only a few minutes distant. In very close proximity to Horti- 

 rultural Hall are such notable buildings as Symphony Hall, 

 the Xcw England Conservatory of Music, the Christian Science 

 Temple, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Y. M. C. A., etc. Our

The first two days of the convention will be devoted to 

 business, and none will be transacted on the two closing days. 

 For the opening day speakers will include the Mayor of Boston, 

 the president of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society and 

 one or two others of horticultural prominence. The annual ban- 

 quet will be held on the second evening and some very unique 

 features will be arranged for this occasion. 



On the morning of the third day a large number of automobiles 

 will start early for the famed North Shore of Massachusetts 

 and several of the finest gardens in Beverly Farms, Manchester, 

 West Manchester, Prides Crossing, etc., will be visited, and 

 passing on to Ipswich, the convention party will be the guests 

 of Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Crane at a real New England clambake. 

 Later, the extensive gardens at Castle Hill Farm, the 2,500 acre 

 estate over which Robert Cameron presides, with its five miles 

 of coast line and rolling dunes of white sand, will be inspected. 

 On the return journey to Boston the Cedar Acre gladioli and 

 dahlia gardens of B. Hammond Tracy will be visited, and Mr. 

 and Mrs. Tracy will entertain the visitors ; places of historic 

 interest will be passed en route to Boston. 



On the last day of the convention the noted Arnold .\rboretum 

 with its matchless collections of trees and shrubs, and part of 

 Boston's parkways will be inspected. Later, visitors will be 

 taken to Cambridge where under the shadow of Harvard College 

 the world-famed collection of glass flowers in the .\|gassiz 

 Museum, will be seen. Leaving Cambridge, historic Lexington 

 and Concord will be visited, and later the famous Walter and 

 Henry S. Hunnewell estates in Wellesley with their wondei-ful 

 specii'uens of trees and shrulis. will be inspected. Other points 

 of interest will be taken in to lill out a most interesting and 

 well varied day.

 Hatton of New London, Conn. Mr. Hatton was a well known 

 and much esteemed member of the N. A. G. A set of By-Laws 

 for the use of local branches was discussed and adopted ; also 

 amendments relative to the reserve fund of the N. A. G. An- 

 other meeting will be held on Friday evening, July 28 at Horti-
