Fisher and H. H, Bartsch a committee, 

 with power to add to their number. 



On motion of W. N. Craig it was 

 unanimously voted to send vigorous reso- 

 lutions condemning the quarantine on 

 plants and bulbs from abroad to C. S. 

 Marlatt, D. F. Houston, and all senators 

 and congressmen from Massachusetts, 

 to supplement resolutions adopted by 

 the club in February, 1918. 



William J. Stewart, a charter mem- 

 ber of the club, and its first president, 

 who has held continuous membership 

 since its organization in 1887, was en- 

 thusiastically elected to life member- 

 ship. 



The treasurer's report showed a sub- 

 stantial gain in assets for 1918. The 

 secretary's report stated that seven 

 members had died during the year and 

 only twelve new members had been ad- 

 mitted. Awards made at the various 

 meetings totaled sixty-seven as against 

 fifty in 1917. No less than forty mem- 

 bers had joined some branch of the 

 service during the war, two had been 

 killed in action and a number of others 

 wounded or gassed. The largest attend- 

 ance in 1918 was 223, the smallest forty- 

 nine, the average attendance 112. 

 Prospects were bright for a large in- 

 crease in membership and attendance 

 during 1919. William H. Judd reported 

 on the efficient work done by the execu- 

 tive committee in 1918. 



Ofiicers were installed by Past-presi- 

 dent William D. Davis as follows: 

 President, A. K. Eogers; vice-president, 

 C. P. Sweetser; secretary, W. N. Craig; 

 treasurer, S. J. Goddard; executive com- 

 mittee, James Wheeler, James Methven, 

 W. H. Judd, W. H. Golby, H. H. Bartsch.

 ing committees for 1919: Exhibits: W. 

 H. Judd, chairman; Robert Cameron, 

 Kenneth Finlayson, James Donald, 

 James Methven, S. J. Goddard, William 

 Downs, F. E. Palmer, Richard Calvert,

 ray, W. J. Collins, Edward Rose. 



Following the regular business, an 

 excellent entertainment was furnished 

 by Miss Bessie Ferguson, Jeannette 

 Shaw, Mary Stewart and Alice Dee, in 

 fancy costume dances. Readings by 

 Miss Linda A. Rogers and vocal selec- 

 tions by Miss Lidderdale and Mr. Mur- 

 ray all were vigorously encored. After 

 the audience had joined in singing "The 

 Star Spangled Banner," adjournment 

 was made and a collation served, after 

 which an excellent orchestra furnished 

 music for dancing, which was enjoyed 

 until midnight. 



Various Notes. 



J. T. Butterworth has a remarkable 

 crop of spikes on his Cymbidium insigne 

 at present. There are over 100 plants 

 of this beautiful orchid. Many other 

 varieties of cymbidiums are to be seen 

 here, all in vigorous health. New tiered

benches of cypress have been built re- 

 cently in the orchid houses here by 

 George Butterworth and the thousands 

 of cattleyas, dendrobes, laelias, cypri- 

 pediums, odontoglossums, miltonias and 

 other orchids are in splendid condition. 

 Many rare hybrids are included. To 

 Cattleya Miss Williams a large section 

 of one bench is devoted. In another 

 house a batch of Lycaste Skinneri, in- 

 cluding the pure white variety, was 

 flowering profusely. The yellow forms 

 of Cypripedium insigne seem to grow 

 like weeds here. Mr. Butterworth is 

 one who does not believe in any feeding 

 for orchids. He has certainly worked 

 up a splendid collection, which are a 

 great credit to him. 



Arnold Janiten has retired from the 

 firm of Janiten & WoUrath and is look- 

 ing for a suitable location to start an- 

 other plant factory for the Boston mar- 

 ket. The firm will be known hereafter 

 as WoUrath & Sons. The houses at 

 Clematis Brook are filled to overflow- 

 ing with roses, French hydrangeas, 

 spiraeas and pelargoniums for Easter 

 trade. Other varieties are grown in 

 smaller quantities. One or two benches 

 of Laddie and Bosalia carnations are 

 carrying a fine crop.

 Good Cheer this season. It nets fancy 

 prices. Several benches are devoted 

 to Lady Northcliffe, which is in heavy 

 crop. There are nine long benches of 

 Pink Delight, which succeeds splendid- 

 ly here. Matchless and White Benora 

 are grown as whites. Mr. Pembroke's 

 new improved sport from Benora carries 

 immense flowers which for some time 

 realized $20 per hundred this season. 

 Bosalia and Eosette are other varieties 

 grown. Fine sweet peas are growing on 

 the posts in the carnation houses and a 

 crop of Godfrey callas proves useful.
