 Society held their annual meeting in 

 Hollywood Inn on Friday, December 

 6th, Vice-President Francis Drexler oc- 

 cupying the chair. President Howard 

 Nichols being absent owing to sick- 

 ness in his family. He also withdrew 

 his nomination for secretary for the 

 ensuing year for the same reason, and 

 the members accepted same with re- 

 gret. Joseph Mooney was elected sec- 

 retary. Louis Milliot exhibited Bego- 

 nia La Patrie, not such a bright pink 

 as the Lorraine, but lasts much longer 

 in dwelling rooms. The bowling com- 

 mittee have secured alleys and have 

 already got the balls rolling, and will 

 soon be looking for challenges from 

 the other horticultural bowling clubs. 

 Practice nights every Thursday at 

 S o'clock in the bowling alleys on 

 Riverdale avenue. A committee was 

 appointed to make arrangements and 

 fix a date for the annual banquet. The 

 next regular meeting will be held Fri- 

 day, January 3, 1913.

GARDENERS' REUNION. 

 On Wednesday, December 4, there 

 was a Gardeners' Reunion at Thum's 

 Bowling Alleys, New York City, this 

 being the second annual event of the 

 kind. Bowling was indulged in in the 

 afternoon and dinner was served in 

 the evening, six alleys having been 

 set apart for the tournament. It was 

 a very successful occasion, many lead- 

 ing members of the craft being pres- 

 ent. The affair was under the man- 

 agement of "Jack" Everitt of Glen 

 Cove and he did it well. 



The New York and New Jersey As- 

 sociation of Plant Growers had its an- 

 nual meeting on December 3 at Kalil's 

 Restaurant. Pursuant to a custom, 

 which was adopted some time ago, 

 dinner was served at 6 P. M. and 

 after the tables were cleared, the 

 meeting was held in the same room. 

 Under the business transacted, was 

 the resolution to give two cash prizes 

 of $25 each, to be awarded at the Na- 

 tional Flower Show in New York; one 

 for the best bed of 50 geraniums, and 

 the other for the best bed of bedding 

 plants, exclusive of geraniums, not 



TODAY. 



Sure, this world is full of trouble — 



I ain't said it ain't. 

 Lord, I've had enough and double 



Reason for complaint. 

 Eain an' storm have come to fret me 



Skies were often gray ; 

 Thorns an' brambles have beset me 



On the road — but, say. 



Ain't it fine today! 



What's the use of always weepln' 



Makin' trouble last? 

 What's the use of always keepin' 



Thinkin' of the past? 

 Each must have his tribulation — 



Water with his wine. 

 Life it ain't no celebratjon. 



Trouble? I've had mine — 



But today is fine. 



It's today that I am livin' 



Not a month ago, 

 Havin', losln', takin', givin', 



As time wills it so. 

 Yesterday a cloud of sorrow 



Fell across the way ; 

 It may rain again tomorrow, 



It may rain — but, say. 



Ain't It fine today!
