TUXEDO (N. Y.) HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



At the regular monthly meeting on 

 April 1, Murice Fuld gave a very in- 

 structive and interesting lecture On 

 The Progressive Age, as applied to 

 Horticulture. We hope to have Mr. 

 Fuld again on some future occasion. 

 He also staged from Knight & Struck 

 Co., a vase of 15 varieties of 



"Dutch" Iris and advised as to their 

 qualities for forcing. The judges 

 awarded a certificate of merit. The ex- 

 ecutive committee reported the sched- 

 ule of the fall show in progress, also 

 the entertainment committee reported 

 that arrangements had been made for 

 the Ladies' evening, which is to be held 

 on April 16. This is the first evening of 

 its kind the society has ever held and 



all are anxious to make it a good time 

 for the ladies.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



The Cincinnati Florists' Club will 

 hold its regular meeting on next Mon- 

 day, April 13. A large attendance is 

 expected. 



Due to its nearness to the Easter 

 rush, the regular monthly meeting of 

 the Florists' Club of Washington, 

 scheduled for Tuesday evening last, 

 was postponed and the florists will 

 not again get together until April 21, 

 when some very important business 

 will be brought up for their attention. 



A new horticultural society has 

 been organized jointly by Auburn and 

 Lewiston, Me., and C. A. Allen was 

 chosen as its first president at an 

 enthusiastic meeting held in the mu- 

 nicipal court room in Auburn on 

 March 30. The object of the society, 

 as announced, is to inculcate the love 

 of flowers and encourage their plant- 

 ing.

April 17, Prof. A. Vincent Osmun of
