CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



The Dayton (Ohio) Florists and 

 Gardeners' Association met on Tues- 

 day, Sept. 7. 



The Minneapolis Florists' Club met 

 in the .Minneapolis Floral Co.'s estab- 

 lishment on September 14. 



There was a large attendance at the 

 regular meeting of the Cincinnati Flor- 

 ists' Society at Hotel Gibson on .Mon- 

 day evening. J. A. Peterson and John 

 Van Leeuwen gave interesting talks, 

 the former on the S. A. F. meeting 

 at Frisco, the latter on Co-operation 

 in Buying Among the Florists. 



The New York Florists' Club held 

 its first meeting for the season of '10 

 and '16 on Monday evening. Septem- 

 ber 13. Exhibits of dahlias and glad- 

 ioli, a fine lecture on Gladioli with lan- 

 tern slides, by Mrs. B. Hammond Tra- 

 cy, of Wenham. Mass., a gratifying re- 

 port of the Flower Show committee 

 and the formulating of general plans 

 for preliminary work on the big flower 

 show for next spring furnished inter- 

 est and instruction in plenty for the 

 members who were present and to all 



this must be added, last but not least, 

 the ample provision made for the 

 inner man's comfort by Chairman Phil 

 Kessler and his vigilant House Com- 

 mittee. 



The next meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of Boston will take 

 place on Tuesday evening, September 

 21, when it is said a talk will be given 

 by M. C. Ebel, of Madison, N. J. 



The annual field day was held last 

 Saturday afternoon at the nurseries of 

 the Breck-Kobiiison Company at Mun- 

 roe Station. The party of 100 came in 

 a special car. l.unch was served in 

 the large packing house. A. E. Robin- 

 son was master ot ceremonies. After 

 lunch Pres. Herman H. Bartsch of 

 Waverley called the meeting to order. 

 The other speakers were W. N. Craig 

 of Brookline, Charles H. Breck of Bos- 

 ton, Ex-Pres. \V. J. Kennedy of Chest- 

 nut Hill and Thomas .1. Grey of Bos- 

 ton. It was a most interesting and en- 

 joyable occasion. 



The annual exhibition of the An- 

 dover (.Mass.) Florists and Gardeners' 

 Club, held in the Town Hall on Sep- 

 tember 10 and II. was like its prede- 



cessors, a very large and attractive 

 show, creditable alike to the amateur 

 gardeners of the town and the profes- 

 sional florists and gardeners who gave 

 it encouragement. There was a long 

 list of prizes in which the children 

 were well remembered and there was 

 plenty of competition. We should esti- 

 mate that there was between four and 

 five hundred running feet ot table 

 space filled to the limit. The stage 

 was handsomely banked by J. H. Play- 

 don, who offlciated as manager, and 

 there was a long table ot dahlias, 

 gladioli and Buddleias from Fottler. 

 FIske, Rawson Co. Everything else 

 was from amateur sources. Nastur- 

 tiums, verbenas, gladioli, stocks, cocks- 

 combs, zinnias, asters, dahlias, bal- 

 sams, centaureas, sweet peas, etc., cer- 

 tainly made a very gay picture and It 

 was evident from the quality of the 

 blossoms that the Andoverltes go In 

 for the best strains of seed the 

 inarlict atfords. 



The judges wore J. Berndtson ot 

 Lawrence, Frank !,«lth of Haverhill 

 and George Wcslland of North .Vndo- 

 ver, and they surely had a big after- 

 noon's work laid out for them.
