space was utilized, and a crop was 

 found suitable for every location. He 

 also told of the great love of flowers 

 the natives of these countries have, 

 and how artistic they are in their ar- 

 rangement. In closing, Mr. Farquhar 

 spoke of how much we are indebted to 

 these countries for many fine shrubs 

 and trees, and by visiting the Arbore- 

 tum at Jamaica Plain, a selection of 

 the newer kinds could be made that 

 would prove suitable for the embellish- 

 ment of the home grounds.

St. Louis Florist Club. 

 The Florist Club dance on Friday, 

 Feb. 18th, at Kleekamp's Hall, St. 

 Louis, was a great success. Plants and 

 cut flowers from Shaw's Garden deco- 

 rated the hall and 100 couples took 

 part. The members and their families 

 and friends say they had the time of 

 their lives and hope for another just 

 like it. 



Westchester and Fairfield Horticul- 

 tural Society. 



The annual entertainment and dance 

 of this society was held at the Town 

 Hall, Greenwich, Ct., on Wednesday 

 evening, Feb. 16. There was a large 

 gathering of the members, their fami- 

 lies and friends, as well as of seed and 

 nursery trade representatives. The 

 chief feature was a splendid minstrel 

 show. The program was replete with 

 very lively songs and dances and 

 merited the great applause accorded 

 the performers. A splendid buffet 

 lunch was served, after which dancing 

 kept everybody busy until 1 o'clock

Rochester Florists' Association. 

 The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Rochester (N. Y.) Florists' Association 

 was held at their club rooms on Mon- 

 day, the 14th inst., it being a "Valen- 

 tine Social Night." Members with 



their families and friends were Invited. 

 and the meeting was given over more 

 particularly to sociability and enter- 

 tainment, rather than routine business. 

 Chairman Geo. T. Boucher of the 

 music committee, provided a very at- 

 tractive program. Miss Amy Lavigne, 

 graduate of Emerson College, gave 

 some very entertaining recitations. 

 Miss Anna Clary and Mr. Boucher ren- 

 dered some beautiful and well chosen 

 solos, being ably assisted by Prof. 

 Wagner, at the piano. Light refresh- 

 ments were served, and the occasion 

 was enjoyed by all assembled.
