MONTHLY EXHIBITIONS 



At the meeting of the council of the society, held on December 

 14, 1910, it was decided to try the experiment of holding monthly 

 exhibitions in conjunction with the meetings of the society. The 

 first of these, to be held at the American Museum of Natural 

 History on Wednesday, February 8, will be devoted to orchids 

 and roses; it will be open from i to 5. The exhibitions of March 

 and April will be held at the same place. It is planned to make 

 the carnation the principal feature at the March exhibition, while 

 the plants and flowers which are associated with Easter will be 

 the important attraction at the exhibition in April. 



These exhibitions are not expected to be as large as those held 

 in the autumn. They are intended to offer more frequent oppor- 

 tunity for exhibition to those having choice flowers and plants, 

 and to lovers of such things to see them. Arrangements have 

 been made with the authorities of the American Museum to use 

 the West Assembly Hall for these three exhibitions. A cordial 

 invitation is extended to all to attend and to bring their friends. 



An announcement will be made later of the exhibitions to be 

 held in May and June at the New York Botanical Garden.
