The Florists' Review 



Dbcbmbeu 16, ld2« 



NEWPORT, E. I. 



Horticultural Society. 



Five names were added to the iiu'in- 

 bcrship rolls of the Newport Horticul- 

 tural Society at its last meeting: Eric 

 Otto, of this city, on the active list; 

 and Henry Barkey, E. W. Darling, A. J. 

 Fish and Joseph Figueireo, all of New 

 Bedford, associate members. The resig- 

 nation of Joseph Matson, who has re- 

 moved to Los Angeles, Cal., to engage in 

 fruit growing, was accepted. 



The meeting was one of the most in- 

 teresting heW in a long time, the prin- 

 cipal speaker being Prof. E. K. Thomas, 

 of the Rhode Island State College, at 

 Kingston. Walter C. Campbell, secre- 

 tary of the Newport Chamber of Com- 

 merce, complimented the society on the 

 work it is doing in the city and prom- 

 ised the cooperation of the chamber in 

 every way possible. 



One of the most interesting features 

 of the evening was the address by John 

 C. Latham, representing John Scheepers, 

 Inc., New York city, in which he de- 

 scribed the new dahlias that his concern 

 is introducing for the coming season, 

 stating there were thirty-two varieties 

 in all. He concluded his remarks by 

 offering on behalf of his concern the 

 sum of $50 to be offered by the society 

 in special prizes next fall, at its annual 

 exhibition, for displays of the firm's 

 novelties, particulars concerning which 

 will be given later in the society's 

 premium lists. 



Various Notes.

 trial in the Superior court on the first 

 trial day in March. 



John F. Chase has sold his farm in the 

 country and will devote his entire atten- 

 tion to the florists' business on Tilley 

 avenue, making a specialty of carna- 

 tions.
