LENOX HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The May meeting of the Lenox 

 (Mass.) Horticultural Society was held 

 on Wednesday, the 10th. The sched- 

 ule for the Fall Exhibition was adopt- 

 ed. The class for twelve blooms of 

 chrysanthemums in not less than six 

 varieties desseminated in 1916 was 

 altered to twelve blooms in not less 

 than four varieties, owing to the ap- 

 liarent lack of good novelties this 

 season. 



A magnificent new orchid, Odonti- 

 oda "Gladys," from A. N. Cooley, 

 Pittsficld, was awarded a first-class 

 certificate, and a vote of thanks given 

 to E. J. Norman for Cereus grandi- 

 florus. 



A paper entitled "The Use of Native 

 Plants for Ornamental Planting" was 

 read and well discussed. Several 

 members spoke of the poor success 

 which attended their efforts to trans- 

 plant the native flowers and shrubs, 



especially in the case of the mountain 

 laurel. 



The next meeting will be held on 

 June 14. 



J. H. Fkampton, Asst. Sec. 



lew lectured on the Cultivation of 

 Dahlias for Home Decoration and for
