ciety was held in Greenwich, Conn., 

 with a large attendance. Two appli- 

 cations for membership were received 

 and four new members elected. There 

 was a splendid display of flowers on 

 exhibition. P. W. Popp won the first 

 prize for collection of dahlias, Harry 

 Wilde winning second. James Stuart 

 was awarded a certificate of culture 

 for Hybrid Neriums. A vote of thanks 

 was given to H. Wilde for apples, A.

 dahlias. Hybrid Cattleya, exhibited 

 by the Geo. E. Baldwin Co. was highly 

 commended. Tickets for our fall show 

 can be secured from W. J. Sealey, Port 

 Chester, N. Y.: schedule and entry 

 blanks from Oscar E. Addor, Larch- 

 mont, N. Y. The next meeting of th? 

 Society will be held on November 1.5th, 

 the week following the fall show. 



At the meeting of the Connecticut 

 Horticultural Society on the llth inst. 

 President Huss showed the Harbinger 

 dahlia, Clerodendron fallax, and a seed- 

 ling dahlia, small flowering, of dwarf 

 habit, the quilled centre florets clear 

 yellow and the petals blush pink, 

 shaded wliite toward the tips. At the 

 instance of John Gerard the society 

 voted that the new variety shall be 

 known as the John F. Huss dahlia. 

 The judges awarded a first-class certifi- 

 cate. The secretary read, by request, 

 a newspaper account of a recent visit 

 by S. B. Hendee, Milwaukee. Oregon, 

 to the establishment of the noted Ore- 

 gon aster grower. Harvey T. Pleis- 

 chaur, at McMinnville, in that state. 

 His unsurpassed asters are thought to 

 be due much to the favorable climate, 

 as well as the very productive clay 

 soil, both of which are also highly con- 

 ducive to the production of fine roses. 

 The Connecticut society now numbers 

 206 members, the largest number in 

 its history.

 Secretary.
