U3,I1 UlipiCl looked at the calen- 

 dar and observed that 1920 is divisible by four. 



He winked slyly, puffed meditatively on a chocolate 

 cigaret and arose to action. He turned a few somer- 

 saults, Dan did; war-weary and worn from overwork, 

 but his reputation was at stake. 



"It's Leap Year," he mused. "I gotta get busy." 



Let's all get behind Dan this year and keep him busy.

ful and some nice cymbidiums and den- 

 drobiums are also seen. Pot plant trade 

 has been somewhat adversely affected by 

 the cold weather. Cyclamens continue 

 to sell well, but the Christmas surplus 

 of these is not large. 



Horticultural Society Meets. 



The inaugural meeting of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society was held 

 January 10, with a larger attendance 

 than for several years. President Endi- 

 cott's address was optimistic in tone. 

 The society membership is now 1,002, 

 the highest in its history, except in 1875 

 and 1876, when it reached 1,035. He 

 advocated advancing the membership 

 fees, as had been done by the S. A. F., 

 to $50 for life members and $5 per year 

 for annual members, but suggested that 

 a year's notice of the change be given 

 to all members. The treasurer's report 

 showed a substantial increase in re- 

 ceipts for the last year. The reports of 

 a number of the various committees 

 were read and accepted and it was to be 

 regretted that a motion to suspend fur- 

 ther business prevailed. The single 

 hour allotted to this annual meeting is 

 all too short and it is hoped that another 

 year more ample time will be given for 

 its proper transaction. 



E. H. "Wilson, of the Arnold Arbore- 

 tum, at the close of the business ses- 

 sion, gave a most delightful illustrated 

 lecture entitled, "My Sixth Journey to 

 the Far East in Search of Plants for 

 American Gardens." His description 

 and illustrations of the vegetation and 

 natural scenery of Korea, Formosa and 

 the southern Japanese islands were most 

 interesting to one of the largest audi- 

 ences ever seen at a lecture here. Par- 

 ticularly fine was his account of the 

 ascending of Mount Morrison, the high- 

 est peak in the Formosan mountains, 

 13,500 feet in height and lying just 

 south of the Tropic of Cancer. The head 

 hunters of this island were described in 

 detail, a number of views of them being 

 given. In closing his lecture Mr. Wil- 

 son severely scored the Federal Horti- 

 cultural Board for Quarantine 37 and
