formal beds planted with all the popu- 

 lar spring flowers: squares, oblongs, 

 stars, crescents, with artistic narrow 

 borders, and appropriate scenery. • The 

 bulb display itself, is very fine, and is 

 relieved from flatness, with flower 

 models of each variety — almost equal 

 except for fragrance to the real. These 

 not only relieve the monotony of the 

 bulb display; but they are of educa- 

 tive value and carrj' quick and lasting 

 impressions on the passersby. A 

 flower spike of Czar Peter hyacinth 

 alongside the bulbs of that variety, or 

 a bloom of the Kaizerkroon tiilip in a 

 similar position with its parefit, con- 

 veys the beautiful coerulean blue, or 

 the intense blood red in a way that no 

 printed story could begin to touch. The 

 general effect and the smallest detail 

 of this wonderful showing have both 

 been studied with equal care, and the 

 final result is worth going a long way 

 to see. Window artists, both locally 

 and from other cities, are loud in their 

 praises of this fine exhibit.

PRES. F. R. PIERSON RE-ELECTED 



Annual Meeting of the New York Fed- 

 eration of Horticultural Societies 

 and Floral Clubs 



The annual meeting of the New 

 York Federation of Horticultural So- 

 cieties and Floral Clubs was held at 

 the State Fair at Syracuse, New York, 

 September 15, 1920. The meeting was 

 called to order at 3 o'clock with Preoi- 

 dent F. R. Pierson in the chair. In 

 the roll-call of the Federated Societies 

 the following wei'e represented by del- 

 egates: New York Florists' Club, New 

 York Horticultural Society. Tarryto'. ii 

 Horticultural Society, Buffalo Florists' 

 Club, Rochester Florists' Association, 

 Syracuse Rose Society, Syracu.se 

 Florists' Association. New York aud 

 New Jersey Association of Plant Grow- 

 ers. Albany Florists' Club. Western 

 New York Floricultural Society. 



President Pierson reported the re- 

 sults of the conference held in Nev 



York city, June 15, 1920, to consider 

 Quarantine No. 37, where 500 or more 

 trade and amateur associations were 

 represented. The conference result- 

 ed in an organized effort to secure a 

 modification of the present quarantine 

 rulings. 



After discussion the following reso- 

 lution was adopted and the secretary 

 was instructed to send the same to the 

 Federal Horticultural Board. 



"The New York Federation of Hor- 

 ticultural Societies and Floral Clubs in 

 annual session at the State Fair, Syra- 

 cuse, New York, September 15, 1920, 

 respectfully urge that Quarantine No. 

 37 be so modified that novelties in 

 small quantities, not to exceed one 

 hundred plants, may 1)€ imported for 

 purposes of propagation, with soil on 

 their roots and that they be examined 

 and passed by the Federal agents at 

 four ports of entry: i. e., Portland and 

 Sr.n Francisco on the Pacific Coast 

 and New York and Philadelphia on the 

 Atlantic Coast, instead of being sent to 

 Washington as now required, which al- 

 most invariably results in the loss of 

 the entire importation, especially of 

 soft-wooded plants." 



In regard to the greenhouses for 

 investigational purposes at Cornell 

 University. E. A. White reviewed the 

 meetings of the committees from the 

 Federation which had met at the Ag- 

 ricultural College during the past year, 

 and that as a result of these meetings 

 recommendations had been embodied 

 in the general project for the comple- 

 tion of the College of Agriculture. As 

 a result of the activities of the various 

 Agricultural and Horticultural organ- 

 izations of New York State and at the 

 refluest of the trustees of Cornell Uni- 

 versity, the last legislature passed a 

 bill appropriating .$3,000,000 for the 

 completion of the College of Agricul- 

 ture. $500,000 becomes available this 

 year. Plans for the greenhouses are 

 included in the general building 

 project and the Department of Flori- 

 culture at Cornell University is now 

 working on the development of the 

 plans which must be completed and 

 approved by the trustees prior to De- 

 cember 1. 1920. 



After discussion it was voted that 

 the following resolutions passed last 

 year and sent to the various state
