As an ideal winter mulch for lawns, '*F. & 

 I" — nature's fertilizer and insecticide — is 

 the logical choice of lawn and garden experts 

 who make careful comparisons. 

 "F, & I." is both a fertilizer and an insecti- 

 cide — a purely vegetable product which rap- 

 idly disintegrates, adding valuable humus to 

 (he soil. "F. & I." is applied exactly as you 

 would use an animal manure — yet it contains 

 no insect pes^s or weed seeds and is free 

 from objectionable odor.

 9. Quite a few members were present. One 

 new member, Geeorgo Bates, was elected for

 the splendid exhibits at the past few meet-

 greatest number of points for the year. At 

 the meeting. Edwin Beckett received first

 the way, James Stuart gave a very inter- 

 esting talk on Cyclamen ; his address led to 

 considerable discussion, P. W. Popp gave

TARRYTOWN (N. Y.) HORT. 

 SOCIETY 



This society held its meeting March 21. 

 in the Corporation Building. The weather 

 was ideal, and a full attendance was present. 

 The exhibition tables were well filled with a 

 large variety of plants and cut flowers. 

 Alex. Anderson received first prize for 

 Sweet Peas, as well as the prize for the 

 best display in the hall other than Sweet 

 Peas. He captured this prize with two 

 large vases of very fine .\ntirrhinums. 

 Otber displays worthy of mention w-ere some 

 line Primulas shown by John Honeyman, 

 .■\ntirrliinums by Mr. Fisher of Briarcliff. 

 and displays of Tulips, J. Watterson, Thns, 

 Lee and others. The judges were J. 

 Featherstone, J. Watts and Wm. Graham. 



Six nominees were elected to membership. 

 Since our last meeting this society has lost 

 a member in John Walker of Scarsdale. 

 N. v., who suddenly passed away through 

 an attack of acute indigestion. After the 

 reading of the notice, Pres. Wilson asked 

 the members to rise for a minute of silence 

 as a token of respect for our deceased mem- 

 ber. 



Tanytown taxpayers lia\e voted an ap- 

 propriation of $4,500 for the use of the 

 society in carrying on the work which it 

 started last year in the preservation of the 

 shade trees of the town. This is a work 

 which the society went into last year with 

 such splendid results that it now has the 

 backing of the largest taxpayers of the town. 

 This beginning may lead to larger develop- 

 ments. 



At this meeting the society voted to hold 

 two shows this year, one in September and 

 one in November. After business w'as fin- 

 ished and exhibits discussed. Pres. Wilson 

 invited Walter Weston to the platform for 

 the purpose of giving an essay on Bo.xwood. 

 Mr. Weston talked along the line of the care 

 of Bo.xwood at the different seasons.
