A DEFINITE MONTHLY MEETING DATE 

 OF THE SOCIETY 



At the meeting of the Board of Directors on September 20, 

 1919, a resolution was passed calHng for a meeting of the society 

 on the third Wednesday of each month at 8 :oo P.M. At the next 

 meeting of the Board on November i this resolution was 

 amended, restricting the monthly meetings to the months from 

 November to April, inclusive, and subsequently the meeting time 

 was changed to 8:15. Bear in mind then that from November 

 to April there is a meeting of the society on the 



Third Wednesday, 8:15 P.M. 



The first meeting under this resolution was held on October 15 

 in the East Assembly Room at the American Museum of Natural 

 History. There was only a small attendance, but action was 

 taken looking to the securing of lectures for the following months. 



The first lecture under this new arrangement was delivered on 

 November 19 by Mr. A. Herrington, on " The Fall-planting of 

 Bulbs," illustrated with lantern slides. The following month the 

 lecturer was Air. E. H. Wilson, assistant director of the Arnold 

 Arboretum, on " The Vegetation of Korea," illustrated with lan- 

 tern slides. For January 21 Mr. M. G. Kains was engaged to 

 deliver a lecture on " Pruning, especially as applied to Fruit Trees 

 and Ornamental Shrubs." Arrangements are being made for lec- 

 tures for the other months, and suggestions along this line are 

 requested from members. Mr. F. R. Newbold, 109 East 72d 

 St., N. Y. City, is the chairman of the Lecture Committee.
