The December meeting of the Rhode 

 Island Horticultural Society was some- 

 thing of an innovation. The address 



• of the evening, after a report from 

 Prof. J. Franklin Collins as delegate 

 to the National Conservation Congress 

 and the American Pomological Soci- 

 ety, was by Dr. Harlan H. York, 

 assistant professor of botany of Brown 

 University, and was upon the subject 

 of the American mistletoe. At the 

 conclusion of the lecture each individ- 

 ual present was given a large sprig of 

 mistletoe. Dr. York having had a large 

 case shipped from Texas for this oeca- 



:Sion. 



WASHINGTON NOTES. 



The marriage is reported of Miss 

 Rose Ponnet, daughter of the late Con- 

 stance Ponnet, to Mr. Otto Dissi, of 

 Richmond, Va. The young couple vis- 

 ited Washington on their honeymoon. 



S. Miyake, of Miyake & Company,

 ing a line of Japanese lily bulbs. This

 fices in this country. 



The Florists' Club of Washington 

 will hold its first meeting of the new 

 year at 1214 F street. Northwest, on 

 Tuesday evening, January 6, when a 

 number of very important business 

 matters will come up for considera- 

 tion. 



C. L. Marlatt, chairman of the Fed- 

 eral Horticultural Board, has directed 

 the attention of the House of Repre- 

 sentatives to the need of continuing 

 the $35,000 appropriation to put into 

 effect measures to prevent the Medi- 

 terranean fruit fly from coming from 

 the Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere 

 to the mainland of the United States. 

 An expert sent by Hawaii to Africa 

 has found three or four important par- 

 asites of the fruit fly and two or three 

 of these are now established in the 

 islands. 



There Is a possibility that the Com- 

 missioners of the District of Colum- 

 bia will provide regulations prohibit- 

 ing the use of public space for the 

 display of goods and materials. This 

 announcement is being favorably re- 

 ceived by the retailers here as such a 

 regulation would prohibit the setting 

 up of temporary stands for the dis- 

 play and sale of flowers as is now the 

 practice on the part of some of the 

 street men. A hearing was recently 

 given those concerned. There is some 

 little opposition to the proposition, 

 but a large number of marketmen are 

 for it and the possibility of its going 

 into effect is good.
