HORTICULTURE 



July 22, 1916 



fanned his peas for several hours In 

 a critical period in order to save them. 



Mr. Carlquist followed with a strong 

 plea for the selection of Boston as the 

 place for the next meeting. W. J. 

 Stewart suggested that the society 

 might benefit by selecting some other 

 city, such as Worcester, Mass., which 

 had not yet been visited. 



A rising vote of thanks was extend- 

 ed to Messrs. Stalford and Thatcher. 



BUSINESS MEETING. 



The Society convened at 10.30 A. M. 

 on Sunday, July IC. in the Casino. 

 Bar Harbor, Me. It was a well-at- 

 tended and seriously attentive meet- 

 ing, about forty being present during 

 the session. The reading of the ad- 

 'dress of President Gray, who was ab- 

 sent, the report of Secretary Bunyard, 

 a paper written b.v David Burpee and 

 Prof. Seal's report on the trial grounds 

 at Cornell was waived and the report 

 of the treasurer, A. T. Boddington, 

 alone was acted upon. It appeared 

 from this report that the Society's as- 

 sets showed an amount of $385.48 

 over liabilities, but the assets consist 

 largely of vases and uncollected mem- 

 bership dues. Secretary Bunyard 

 explained that bills had just been sent 

 out to members and payment urged, 

 but it was the opinion of several 

 speakers that the financial condition 

 •of the Society required immediate at- 

 tention and Messrs G. W. Kerr and W. 

 A. Sperling were constituted a com- 

 mittee to audit the treasurer's report 

 and report recommendations to the 

 executive committee not later than 

 September 1. The discussion on ways 

 and means brought out mutual chal- 

 lenges from C. H. Totty and J. H. Stal- 

 ford, the result being that these gen- 

 tlemen have volunteered to raise a 

 subscription fund of $250.00 each with- 

 in the next thirty days to help the 

 Society over the stringency. 



Oflicers were elected as follows: 

 George W. Kerr, of Burpee's. Philadel- 

 phia, president; Edwin Jenkins, Len- 

 ox, Mass., vice-president; H. A. Bun- 

 yard, New York, secretary: William 

 Sim, Cliftondale, Mass., treasurer; W. 

 A. Sperling, New York and William 

 Gray, Newport, succeed Messrs. W. H. 

 Duckham and Wm. Sim on the execu- 

 tive committee. A warm vote of 

 thanks was given to A. T. Boddington 

 for his loyal service as treasurer for 

 several years. 



Boston was unanimously favored as 

 the place for the next meeting and 

 exhibition, and a vote was passed so 

 recommending to the executive com- 

 mittee. The first Saturday following 

 July 4 was chosen as the date most 

 advisable and it was voted that it be 

 the policy of the Society hereafter to 

 adhere rigidly to this regular date, re- 

 gardless of local weather or crop con- 

 ditions. 



A rising vote of thanks was given 

 the Bar Harbor Horticultural Society 

 and then the meeting adjourned.

prospects are that there will not be 

 sufficient space in the plans as out- 

 lined to satisfy all the demands that 

 will be made tor same. It may be ab- 

 solutely necessary to secure additional 

 space on the third floor, but the ar- 

 rangements made at present call for 

 the use of the main floor and mezza- 

 nine floor only.
