gardens at Roseacres, Miss., urged a 

 beautifying of the home grounds, with 

 flowers and ornamental plants, point- 

 ing out that it was the lack of beauti- 

 ful decorations in the home grounds 

 which drove many to the larger cities. 

 With the conclusion of the afternoon 

 session, at 4 o'clock, seventy-five of the 

 members and their wives visited the 

 gardens of the Joy Floral Company, 

 In Northeast Nashville. Much interest 

 was manifested in the greenhouses 

 and heating plants, and the horticul- 

 tural methods in vogue at the Joy 

 gardens. 



A committee of three was appointed 



at the meeting of the Springfield, 

 Mass., Amateur Horticultural Society 

 last evening, to confer with similar 

 committees from the Hampden Coun- 

 ty Improvement League and the 

 Hampden County Horticultural So- 

 ciety with a view of forming one as- 

 sociation of these three and possible 

 other horticultural and agricultural 

 societies. Edward J. Canning, form- 

 erly superintendent of grounds of 

 Smith college for many years, was 

 present and in the course of an ad- 

 dress on "Good taste in the planning 

 and planting of home grounds" urged 

 that the projected association include 

 societies of all Western Massachusetts, 



so that the interests represented by 

 those societies may have a stronger 

 and more efBcient organization. He 

 did not advocate the complete disor- 

 ganization of the small societies, but 

 urged that they meet in general con- 

 ventions two or three times a year. 

 He also urged that an arboretum be 

 established in Forest Park. J. Alden 

 Davis, city forester, who as president 

 presided at the meeting, said that 

 there is ample room in Forest Park 

 for such an arboretum, and that he 

 thought the city would establish one 

 in time. He said that labels have al- 

 ready been ordered for such trees and 

 shrubbery as are already in the park.

 best In addition full descriptions are given many new and most valuable varieties.
