HOBTICULTUEE 



September 30, 1916 



HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF 

 NEW YORK. 



The Dahlia Show of the Horticul- 

 tural Society of New York, held at 

 the Bronx Botanical Garden last week 

 was good as to quality of material, 

 but was not extensive nor was it well 

 attended, the exhibition scheduled by 

 the American Dahlia Society for this 

 week evidently dominating the situa- 

 tion. Leading exhibitors were C. 

 Louis Ailing of West Haven. Conn, 

 and Mills & Co. of Mamaroneck, N. 

 Y. In the private gardener section, 

 Mr. Sullivan, superintendent of Mrs. 

 Nichols estate held the lead. There 

 were some nice seedlings shown by 

 Dr. Millspaugh of Paterson. N. J. Wil- 

 liam Waite of Seabright, N. J., 

 showed some fine blooms. 



CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



As a closing feature of the Hough- 

 ton Horticultural Society's 42d annual 

 autumn exhibition and flower festival 

 at Lynn. Mass., the members of the 

 society and friends gathered about the 

 festal board in Odd Fellows" Hall, 

 Thursday evening, Sept. 21, and en- 

 joyed a good supper and listened to 

 short talks from several of the mem- 

 bers. 



At a recent meeting of the executive 

 committee of the Illinois State Flor- 

 ists' Association it was decided to 

 abandon the prize feature at the Fall 

 Show, which is to be held at Bloom- 

 ington, 111., November 9-10. So the 

 secretary was instructed to write to 

 all members asking their hearty co- 

 operation, to help make this, the first 

 Fall Show, one grand success, by ton- 

 tributing stock for exhibition. This 

 ■will also be the semi-annual meeting 

 of the association. 



The New Bedford Horticultural So- 

 ciety opened its annual dahlia show 

 on Thursday afternoon. September 21, 

 with a richer and larger assortment 

 of fine blooms than it has ever exhib- 

 ited before. The committee in charge 

 of the event found difficulty in find- 

 ing table room for all. Among the 

 leading displays were those of David 

 F. Roy, of Marion, and John P. Rooney, 

 of New Bedford. The majority of the 

 dahlia prizes were won by W. B. Hath- 

 away and Jos. A. Nolet. The amateurs 

 were especially in evidence with some 

 fine new blooms. They also brought 

 in other flowers of many kinds and 

 several ventured to exhibit favorite 

 fruits. The judges were James Garth- 

 ley and C. W. Young. They went 

 bravely to their tasks of alloting
