of the club, the first president of the 

 club having held office for eight years. 

 He was at all times deeply interested 

 in all the affairs of the club, and when 

 not holding office w^as always on im- 

 portant committees. His work was 

 greatly appreciated and he was held 

 in such high esteem by our members 

 that when he decided to go to Califor- 

 nia, a testimonial banquet was given 

 him on October 28th, 1909. This was 

 attended by eighty-three of our mem- 

 bers together witli three prominent 

 florists of New York and three from 

 Boston. This banquet was the most 

 successful ever given by the club, and 

 we know that it was greatly appre- 

 ciated by Edwin Lonsdale, and he 

 went forth to his new work with bright 

 hopes for the future, and now we are 

 brought face to face with the fact that 

 he has been taken away from us by 

 death, therefore, be It 



RESoi-vF-n. That the members of the 

 Club desire to put on record their 

 sense of loss and to extend to his 

 widow their sympathy. 



Edwin Lonsdale was a diligent and 

 faithful worker for the interests of 

 the Club. In his Intercourse with 

 members of the Club, he was always 

 courteous, kind and modest, and thus 

 endeared himself to us all. He did 

 much to advance the interests of 

 Horticulture, and was always ready to 

 help along anything that would benefit 

 our cause. 



Rksolved, That these resolutions be 

 spread on the minutes and a copy sent 

 to Mrs. Lonsdale." 



The reading of these resolutions 

 was listened to with marked attention 



and they were at once approved by the 

 club. 



The outlook for the meetings for the 

 coming season is a very bright one. 

 There will be a very prominent lec- 

 ture at the October meeting, a ladies' 

 night and entertainment in November, 

 together with interesting matters per- 

 taining to the National Flower Show 

 at every meeting. 



Both Robert Craig and Adolph 

 Farenwald gave a detailed account of 

 what was being done for the National 

 Flower Show. A contract for heating 

 the building has been let, the advertis- 

 ing campaign is well on its way, and 

 the city authorities are now working 

 in harmony with the flower show com- 

 mittees, and everything looks promis- 

 ing for a successful exhibition.
