The Gardeners' and Florists' Club of 

 Baltimore held their regular semi- 

 monthly meeting on Monday, Dec. 9, 

 in Florists' Exchange Hall. President 

 Christie presided. There was a good 

 number present and plenty of music 

 to begin with. The club is increasing 

 its membership continually, which now 

 numbers 280. 



At the annual election of the Chi- 

 cago Florists' Club Guy French was 

 elected president; Alex. Henderson, 

 vice-president; Wilder Deamud, secre- 

 tary ; E. F. Winterson re-elected treas-

 greatly enjoyed by all present. 



David F. Roy, superintendent ot 

 the Converse estate in Marion. Mass.. 

 was to have been the speaker at the 

 December meeting of the New Bed- 

 ford Horticultural Society, but on ac- 

 count of the storm the committee tele- 

 phoned to Mr. Roy that it would not 

 expect him. Accordingly, Mr. Roy 

 will give his talk on chrysanthemums 

 and the work of transforming the Con- 

 verse estate into its present state of 

 beauty, at the next meeting of the so- 

 ciety in January. The public will be 

 invited to attend this meeting, which 

 will be held in the hall in the library 

 building. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Southampton (N. Y.) Horticultural 

 Society was held in Odd Fellows'

 ciety incorporated is going ahead

 dinner on Jan. 2, and a committee was 

 appointed to make arrangements for 

 the same. 



At a special meeting two weeks ago. 

 W. Gomersall of Nyack read a splen- 

 did paper on soils and fertilizers. He

 to have 200 copies of the paper printed 

 and distributed to members of the 

 society. WM. McLEOD, Cor. Sec. 



At the regular meeting of the Tux- 

 edo (N. Y.) Horticultural Society held 

 on Dec. 4, the nomination of officers

 James MacMackan was nominated for 

 president. Frederick Raike for vice-

 urer and Joseph Becvar for secretary. 

 For executive committee the following 

 were nominated: Joseph Tansey, Dav- 

 id Mcintosh, Frederick Bentley, James 

 Allen, David S. Miller. Edward Wilson 

 and Patrick Cassidy. It is hoped that 

 every member will attend the annual 

 meeting January 1st, 1913, as two 

 amendments to the by-laws are to be 

 acted upon. E. WILSON, Sec'y.

 December 6th. The speaker of the 

 evening was A. A. Pembroke of North
