first of the season. It had been an- 

 noiiDced that M. C. Ebel. of Madison. 

 N. J., would address the club, but a 

 communication from that gentleman 

 stated that his health would not per- 

 mit of his being present. It had been 

 expected also that President P. Welch 

 would tell the club some interesting 

 things about the recent convention in 

 San Francisco and his experiences in 

 the transcontinental trip, but he was 

 obliged to be out of town for several 

 days, so the meeting had to provide 

 its own entertainment from among 

 the members present — not a difficult 

 matter considering the oratorical abili- 

 ties of some of the regular attendants. 



Reports were made showing that 

 the annual picnic had been a success, 

 with a surplus to turn into the treas- 

 ury, that the field day, so-called, at 

 Newport had been a revelation in 

 many ways to those who had partici- 

 pated and that the visit to the Breck- 

 Robinson Nurseries at Lexington had 

 been a very enjoyable outing. Votes 

 of thanks was unanimously extended 

 to the Breck-Robinson Co. and the 

 Newport Horticultural Society. A com- 

 munication from the Nassau County 

 (N. Y.) Horticultural Society suggest- 

 ing a plan of blanket membership in 

 the various societies was referred to 

 the executive committee, as was also 

 a proposition that the club provide a 

 special premium to be awarded at one 

 of the big shows of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society in 1916. The 

 proposed renewal of the landscape 

 gardening classes for the coming sea- 

 son was discussed and a report of last 

 year's committee will be called for at 

 the next meeting. It was voted to 

 have the annual club banquet in Feb- 

 ruary, 1916. 



Eber Holmes, representing \V. A. 

 Manda. staged a number of dahlias, 

 including .Mrs. Minnie Burgess, scar- 

 let, Albert Mande. lemon and pink. 

 Veronica .\Ianda. rose pink, Josef 

 Manda. crimson. Gertrude .Manda, 

 rose, Mrs. A. I. Dupont. ruby red, 

 Soi!th Orange Surprise, changeable 

 bronze, salmon and white, and some 

 ten seedling dahlias; also Rudbeckia 

 Mandianum and Salvia Greggii. Un- 

 fortunately Mr. Manda's exhibit had 

 suffered badly in transit. W. N. Craig 

 exhibited from Faulkner Farm some 

 beautiful hardy asters and a superb 

 vase of Buddleia variabilis magnifioa.

To the Members of the Ladies' Society 



of American Florists: 



My report and paper which I was to 

 send to the convention was forwarded 

 by registered mail to San FYancisco

 were returned to me on Aug. 29. I 

 maiied them to the president that she 

 would understand I had kept faith 

 with her and was not responsible for 

 my report not being at the meeting.

 that all should at least see the report
