THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK 



February ly. Primarily for orchids and roses. 



March I'j to 2^. International Flower Show, held at Grand 

 Central Palace in cooperation with the New York Florists' Club. 

 This was the largest and most successful exhibition in which the 

 society has participated. It was a larger and better show than 

 that of the previous year, and the arrangement of the exhibits 

 was more artistic. An announcement of this exhibition appeared 

 in the February issue of the Journal, and a detailed and illus- 

 trated account of it will also be published in the same periodical. 

 The Horticultural Society maintained a booth, with lady at- 

 tendants in charge, where members of the society and their 

 friends were welcomed. One of the factors contributing to the 

 uccess of the show was the Red Cross Tea Garden. The pro- 

 ceeds derived from the admission charge to this went to the 

 American Red Cross and to the non-combatant relief committees. 



The New York Botanical Garden ofifered the premiums for 

 the exhibition from May to September, these to be awarded by 

 the exhibition committee of the Council of The Horticultural 

 Society of New York. 



In addition to the above exhibitions, the American Sweet Pea 

 Society held its Sixth Annual Exhibition and Convention under 

 the auspices of the Horticultural Society, at the American Mu- 

 seum of Natural History, June 27 and 28, 1914. The Horti- 

 cultural Society offered $200 in premiums at this exhibition. 



A conference of the Women's National Agricultural and Hor- 

 ticultural Association was held, under the auspices of The Hor- 

 ticultural Society of New York, at the Museum building, New 

 York Botanical Garden, on Friday, May 7, 1914. This brought 

 together representatives from different parts of the United States 

 interested in women's work as viewed from the standpoint of 

 this organization. 



There were eleven meetings of the Council, one preceding each 

 meeting of the society, and four others.
