his address on October Glories in Out- 

 door Flowers. He made a splendid 

 address and scored many new points 

 which it will be well for the experts 

 to take note of. In illustration of his 

 remarks there was one of the finest 

 exhibitions of seasonable flowers we 

 have ever seen. It was a liberal edu- 

 cation lo every member of the Club 

 and worth to the student many 

 times the cost of membership. Octo- 

 ber being the annual meeting, the 

 following were elected officers for the 

 ensuing year: President, Adolph 

 Farenwald; vice-president, D. Col- 

 flesh; secretary, David Rust; treas- 

 urer, George Craig.

AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY. 



The American Rose Society has re- 

 ceived application for Rose Test Gar- 

 dens in tlie States of Washington and 

 Texas. The interest that has been 

 aroused in this line seems to be going 

 country wide, and predicts better 

 trade for rose growers. 



This year there has been a marked 

 increase in the receipt of Associate 

 members: the present membership of 

 the Society exceeding four hundred 

 not including Life Members, 



There will be a meeting of the Ex- 

 ecutive Committee shortly at which 

 matters of decided interest will be 

 taken up. Twenty-eight members 

 have subscribed to the fund for the in- 

 vestigation of "Black Spot."

NEW JERSEY FLORICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 

 The eleventh annual show of the 

 New Jersey Floricultural Society was 

 held in the Jr. O. U. A. M. Hall, 

 on Monday. September 18. The date 

 proved to be a trifle early and the 

 number of entries fell short of the 

 previous year. The vegetable classes 

 were well filled with some fine dis- 

 plays. A group of herbaceous plants 

 and shrubs by the Elizabeth Nursery 

 Co. was well staged and received a 

 special prize. A collection of fruit by 

 S. M. and A. Colgate, of Orange, was 

 the finest ever seen in this part of the 

 country. The judges were John P. 

 Sorenson. Alex. Robertson and Walter 

 .M. Gray.
