THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF NEW YORK 



Mr. A. Herrington certainly deserves hig-h praise for the ar- 

 rangement of the exhibits, and the general plan of the exhibition, 

 which was a great improvement upon that of other years. The 

 breaking up of the aisles furnished constantly new surprises as 

 one walked from exhibit to exhibit, always something new ap- 

 pearing just around the corner. 



PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOCIETY 



February i8, 1920 



A meeting of the society, at which no business was transacted, 

 was held Wednesday, February 18, 1920, 8: 15 P. M., in the west 

 assembly room, American Museum of Natural History. This 

 room proved too small for the audience, and so adjournment was 

 taken to the large lecture hall. The lecture was by Mr. Adolph 

 Kruhm on "Vegetable Gardens." The lecturer gave a very in- 

 structive and interesting talk on this subject, and after the lecture 

 many questions were asked, attesting the interest of the audience 

 in the subject. 



March 17, 1920 



A meeting of the society, at which no business was transacted, 

 was held on Wednesday, March 17, 1920, at 8: 15 P. M., in the 

 large lecture hall of the American Museum of Natural History. 

 The lecture was by the Rev. Edmund M. Mills on " Rose Gar- 

 dens." Mr. Mills is a director of the American Rose Society, and 

 is president of the Syracuse Rose Soicety, one of the largest 

 amateur horticultural societies in the country. He has been an 

 enthusiastic amateur rose grower for over forty years. His re- 

 marks were profusely illustrated with a series of lantern slides, 

 depicting the many rose gardens he had seen. He had a personal 

 touch to add to each slide. The lecture was much enjoyed by a 

 good sized audience.
