TARRYTOWN HORT. SOCIETY 



The above society held its 22nd Annual 

 Banquet on the evening of January 9 at the 

 Floretice Inn. .\s usual the weather was 

 rough, but nevertheless sixty-five members 

 and friends came together and a merry time 

 was enjoyed by all. Robert A. Pattison of 

 the Tarrytown National Bank was toast- 

 master, Daniel J. Cashin, one of the wittiest 

 men in Yonkers, the Rev. W. F. Irwin, 

 Ernest F. Griffin, president of the village of 

 Tarrytow-n, and Charles D. Millard, super- 

 visor of the town of Greenburgh, were the 

 speakers. Former Senator Charles P. Mc- 

 Clelland was unable to be present on account 

 of illness and for the same reason, F. R. 

 Pierson, one of the society's strongest back- 

 ers, wa^ obliged to be absent for the first 

 time. The Westchester Male Quartet gave 

 several fine selections. They led the gather- 

 ing in the singing of old and new songs and 

 made the evening a very jolly one. The 

 gathering was welcomed by Thomas Wilson, 

 president of the society, who briefly outlined 

 the work of the society for tlie past year. T. 

 A. Weston of the Florists' E.xchange was 

 the first speaker and in his talk, he said that 

 the Tarrytown shows are second only to 

 those held in New York City, none of the 

 other shows in the country equal them, and 

 certainly none surpass them. Westchester 

 and Fairfield Society was ably represented 

 by William J. Sealcy, William Smith, and 

 George W. Strange. After the .songs had 

 become exhausted, the party broke up about 

 twelve o'clock, the guests saying that they 

 hoped they never would see the time when 

 they would refuse to accept an invitation 

 from the Tarrytown Hort. Society.

 HORT. SOCIETY

 held at Greenwich on January 9. By the 

 manner of the members and the questions 

 that were brought before the meeting, the 

 year 1923 bids to be a banner year. It was 



Ideal 30" tnow-

OXLV frequent cutting and rolling will pro- 

 duce that .smooth, carpet-like effect seen in 

 well-kept lawns. Ideal Power Lawn Mowers do 

 both in one operation at less than one-third the 

 cost when done by hand. 



An unskilled man at laborer's wages may be safely 

 trusted to oiJerate the simple, fool-proof mechan- 

 ism. He will cut from a half to a full acre an 

 hour, trimming the borders closely and rolling 

 the open spaces to velvety smoothness. The 

 moderate cost of maintaining a park-like lawn 

 is obvious.
