CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



It was a gorgeous sight that met the 

 eye on entering the society's room in 

 the County Building, Hartford, as 

 John F. Huss, of Hartford, and George 

 B. Baker, of New Britain, staged some 

 twenty-four fine specimen cinerarias. 

 The cactus cineraria was particularly 

 attractive. The judges awarded the 

 exhibit of Mr. Huss a first-class certifi- 

 cate, and that of Mr. Baker a cultural 

 certificate, which was duly ratified by 

 vote of the members. 



We had with us on this occasion 

 Maurice Fuld of New York, who gave 

 a most interesting and edifying talk 

 on roses. Ho aduressed the auiiteurs 

 particularly. The meeting did not ad- 

 journ until 10.30. The next meeting, 

 March 12, will be "Carnation" night.
