 grades only." 



Wagner Park Nursery Co., Sidney, O. — A 42- 

 page, illustrated catalogue of trees, shrubs and 

 hardy plants. Accompanying the catalogue is an 

 artistic booklet entitled "Wagner Plans and

 sundials, vases and plant boxes.

 seeds, bulbs, roots, implements, poultry supplies, 

 spray pumps, Insecticides aud fertilizers. 



STAMTOBD, CONN. 



The annual entertainment and dance 

 of the Westchester and Fairfield Horti- 

 cultural Society was held in Mechanics' 

 hall, Tuesday evening, February 16. 

 The members, with their wives, fam- 

 ilies and friends, as well as a goodly 

 number of representatives of leading 

 nursery firms and seed houses, formed 

 a large and happy party, who were cor- 

 dially welcomed by President W. J. 

 Sealey. 



Mrs. James W. Stirling sang Scotch 

 ballads in a wonderfully sweet and clear 

 voice and was heartily encored. Owen 

 A. Hunnick sang some old-time favor- 

 ites that were pleasing and well re- 

 ceived. Professor Wilson, the Scotch 

 comedian, amused and delighted the au- 

 dience and responded to several en- 

 cores. The talented young son of 

 James Foster rendered violin solos in a 

 most artistic and finished manner. 

 Professor Melcher, sleight-of-hand ar- 

 tist, amused and mystified the audience 

 with a number of clever feats. Songs 

 were sung by the Honorable John M. 

 Brown, mayor of Stamford; also by 

 A. L. Kickards, W, J, Collins and 

 James Johnston. These songs were well 

 received and heartily applauded. 



While the floor was being cleared for 

 dancing, a splendid buflfet lunch was 

 provided, with plenty of fruit and can- 

 dies for the kiddies. An excellent or- 

 chestra furnished good music, and a 

 pleasing and varied dance program was 

 rendered, under the able floor manage- 

 ment of James Johnston, assisted by 

 Alex. Clarkson. Ex-President James 

 Stuart and wife led the grand march. 

 The party broke up in the early hours 

 of the morning, a tired but happy 

 crowd. P. W. Popp, Cor. See'y. 



Southampton, N. Y. — James Guilfoyle 

 received an award of merit for a fine 

 vase of carnations at the last meeting 

 of the Southampton Horticultural So- 

 ciety. It was decided at that time to 

 hold the annual flower show in South- 

 ampton July 28 and 29.
