WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD 

 HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The regular monthly meeting of this 

 society took place in their new home 

 in the Isaac Hubbard Hall, Green- 

 wich, Ct., on Jan. 14. The principal 

 features were the installation of of- 

 ficers and the competition for the prize 

 offered by Mr. Grierson for the most 

 meritorious exhibit. The honors were 

 carried off by Thos. Ryan with a fine 

 vase of Pink Sensation carnation. The 

 other exhibits received the thanks of 

 the society; the most important were 

 display of carnations, violet.s and 

 cauliflower from Wm. Graham; Narcis- 

 sus Grand Soliel d'Or from P. W. 

 Popp; Euphorbia Jacquinaeflora from 

 Jas. Stuart. Mr. Stuart had on a pre- 

 vious occasion received the highest 

 honors for Euphorbia. It was voted to 

 hold the usual summer and fall exhibi- 

 tions as in the past. We take this op- 

 portunity of thanking our many kind 

 friends who financially and otherwise 

 have enabled us to make such a fine 

 record at our exhibitions the past year, 

 and we hope to merit a continuation 

 of the same hearty support in the 

 future. 



Resolutions of sympathy were adopt- 

 ed and ordered sent to the bereaved 

 family of the late Geo. Lander, Jr., of 

 Greenwich, Ct., in whose death the 

 society suffers the loss of an esteemed 

 honorary member and a good friend.

 Mr. Wm. Kleinheinz urging the mem- 

 bers to be represented at the bip show 

 to be held in Philadelphia in March. 

 Also one from the National Association 

 of Gardeners offering copies of the 



essays read at the Boston convention. 

 The offer was unanimously accepted. 



During recess Jas. Stuart, assisted 

 by P. W. Popp, entertained the mem- 

 bers with an account of their recent 

 trip to Boston, voicing also the appre- 

 ciation of others of our members who 

 were present, of the hospitality of the 

 gardeners and horticultural interests 

 of Boston, and the A. N. Pierson Co., 

 of Cromwell, Ct., for the splendid en- 

 tertainment and horticultural treat.
