 eties, and our prices are right. Get our list

NEWPORT, R. I. 



The regular meeting of the Newport 

 Horticultural Society was lield Tuesday 

 evening, August 9, at Music hall, and 

 was a busy one, witli almost all of the 

 members in attendance. Owing to the 

 fact that President Arthur W. Potter 

 was unable to attend, Andrew W. 

 Meikle presided. During the meeting 

 the date of the proposed annual ball, to 

 be given under the auspices of the so- 

 ciety, which had been announced for 

 SeptcmbijT 8, was postponed until Sep- 

 tember 16, which will be the evening 

 of the second day of the society's au- 

 tumn flower show. 



The committ«H; to make arrangements 

 for the ball was named, as follows: 

 .lamcs Carter, cliairman; Arthur W. Pot- 



ter, Herbert Bliss, .lolin T. Allan, Bruce 

 JJutterton, Charles Philipot and Howard 

 C. Ward. The society voted to give 

 ])rizes of $5, .$4, $3, $13 and $1 for ex- 

 hibits of flowers brought to the exhibi- 

 tion by boys and girls of the city. This 

 is beiHg dome to encourage the love and 

 growing of flowers among the children. 



A committee, consisting of Alexander 

 MacLellan and Arthur W. Potter, was 

 ajipointed to prepare appropriate reso- 

 lutions on the death of Andrew K. Mc- 

 Mahon, who was one of the original 

 members of the society and for many 

 vears waa its treasurer and who main- 

 tained his interest in the proceedings as 

 long as his health permitted. 



It waa voted to send a token of sym- 

 pathy to John T. Allan, a former presi- 

 dent and one of the active workers, who 

 has been ill at the hospital for the last 

 week. W. n. M. 



TORONTO, ONT. 



Stock has been scarce, with the ex- 

 ception of gladioli, which are of good 

 quality and plentiful. Asters have put 

 in an appearance, but are of poor qual- 

 ity. Eoscs are arriving as well as can 

 be expected, but lilies are scarce. 



The trade extends its sympathy to the 

 Misses Mearns, of Toronto, who re- 

 cently lost their father. J. J. H.
