SURE TO PLEASE 



a large proportion are of inferior grades 

 and show weather-marks. There, is . a 

 good supply of cosmos and dahlias, 

 neither of which sells well, and smaller 

 lots of various other outdoor flowers. 

 Bouvardia Humboldtii sells well. There 

 are few lilies and lily of the valley. 

 Cattleyaa are scarce, but there is little 

 call for them. Begonia Gloire de Chate- 

 laine, crotons and ferns are selling 

 freely. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an excellent attendance at 

 the first club meeting in Horticultural 

 hall following the summer recess. The 

 committee on changes in the by-laws 

 reported, and its recommendations will 

 be acted upon at the October meeting. 

 The picnic committee reported a com- 

 fortable balance after paying all ex- 

 penses. Resolutions on the death of 

 A. F. Barney, drawn up by W. J. Ken- 

 nedy, W. N. Craig and James Methven, 

 were adopted, also similar tributes to 

 Robert Montgomery, by S. J. Goddard, 

 James Wheeler and Peter M. Miller, 

 and to Elmer P. Morse, by John L. 

 Russell, Peter Fisher and W. N. Craig. 

 Seven new members were elected. 



Resolutions were unanimously adopt- 

 ed commending the attitude of Gover- 

 nor Coolidge and Police Commissioner 

 Curtis in the Boston police strike, and 

 pledging them the club's support. L. 

 J. Renter showed Nephrolepis Macawii, 

 which the exhibits committee honored 

 with an award of merit. W. N. Craig 

 received honorable mention for a collec- 

 tion of peaches. He also showed Arte- 

 misia lactifiora and Gladiolus primuli- 

 nus seedlings. 



Herman H. Bartsch gave a most in- 

 teresting account of his journey to and 

 from Detroit and his experiences at the 

 convention. He spoke of the great dif- 

 ficulty experienced in securing hotel 

 reservations, of the hospitality of the 

 Detroit florists and of the fine work 

 done at the convention. The assembly 

 hall was, however, far from comfort- 

 able. Visits to a number of growers 

 around Detroit showed some nice stock, 

 but much below the standards of east- 

 ern-grown plants. 



James "Wheeler spoke of a pleasant 

 automobile trip taken through Connec- 

 ticut, New York and New Jersey, re- 

 ferring in his talk to the Morton F. 

 Plant estate, Groton, Conn.; C. H. 

 Totty's; H. McKay Twombly's; the

 and spoke on the vegetation, agricul- 

 ture and florists' establishments at each 

 of the many places visited. Florida did 

 not impress him favorably, but the 

 North Carolina Blue Ridge mountains 

 were grand. He saw no territory, how-
