some of the public -institutions was 

 also brought to the attention of the 

 meeting. While the existing conditions 

 were discussed and severely condemned, 

 the matter was not officially before the 

 meeting, and no recommendations were 

 made. 



Annual Oonvention at Washington. 



It was decided to offer the associa- 

 tion's silver medal for competition to 

 all horticultural societies or gardeners' 

 clubs that desire to accept the offer. 

 The terms of competition — to be for 

 1917 — are left to the local societies as 

 to whether it should be for one of 

 its shows or for monthly competition, 

 the only restriction being that the com- 

 petitor must be a member of the Na- 

 tional Association of Gardeners. 



The plan of the national cooperative 

 committee to provide essays for the 

 monthly meetings of the local horticul- 

 tural societies, which it has done dur- 

 ing the last year, was approved, and 

 it was decided to continue to supply 

 these essays to the some fifty odd so- 

 cieties throughout the country that ap- 

 plied for them. 



The appointment of John Canning, 

 of Ardsley, N. Y., as director was an- 

 nounced, to fill the unexpired term of 

 James MacMachan, deceased, whose 

 terra would have expired January 1, 

 1919. 



It was voted to hold the next annual 

 convention during the early part of 

 December, at Washington, D. C. For 

 the 1917 convention Chicago was voted 

 as the choice of those at the meeting. 

 Pittsburgh was favorably discussed as 

 the 1918 meeting place. 



Following the adjournment of the 

 meeting some of the members coming 

 from a distance visited the estate of 

 Adolph Lewisohn, at Ardsley, N. Y., 

 over which John Canning presides as 

 superintendent; and later proceeded to 

 Greystone, Yonkers, N. Y., the estate 

 of Samuel Untermyer, where over $1,- 

 000,000 is being expended in improve- 

 ments and more than 400 men are re- 

 ported to be employed in the develop- 

 ment work. 



M. C. Ebel, Sec'y. 



Columbiana, O. — Loy Smith went to 

 Jack«)nville, Fla., on account of his 

 health, but Florida's summer did not 

 agr«« with his son, so father and son 

 made what they termed a "fifty-fifty 

 gplit" and returned to their business 

 at 9*1tHnbiana.
