August 3 was a red letter day in the 

 florists' line here, the Toronto Horticul- 

 tural Society being the guests of the 

 Dale Estate. After a visit to the green- 

 houses, the party adjourned to the Eose- 

 Lee grounds, kindly lent for the occa- 

 sion by Mr. Jennings, and a very good 

 programme of sports was in order. A 

 cricket match resulted in a win, for the 

 Toronto boys. But the tables were 

 turned when the tug of war was the 

 order. The ladies of Toronto received 

 quite an ovation when they pulled the 

 girls here about the field. The event of 

 the day was the baldheaded men's race, 

 which T. W. Duggan secured in fine 

 style. Supper was served on the green 

 axid then the party was photographed. 

 More racing was done and considerable 

 bolstering in which Tom Manton, the 

 genial Toronto florist, and the foreman 

 of the Dale Estate played a conspicu-' 

 ous part. The day closed with an im- 

 promptu concert and the usual thanks at 

 the club house. Wm. Downing. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



A large and representative gathering 

 met on August 5 to hear Leonard Barron 

 tell the New Jersey Floricultural Society 

 the advantages of organization. It pro- 

 voked a lively discussion, the meeting re- 

 fusing, however, to place itself on record. 



Both of the leading orchidists of this 

 section, Henry Graves and Wm. Barr, 

 were represented, and the work of Ed- 

 ward Thomas and Arthur Bodwell were 

 seen side by side. Gladioli from the 

 estates of A. C Von Gaasbeck and Cha«. 

 Hathaway, phlox from Sidney and Aus- 

 tin Colgate, Mrs. Wm. Pierson and John 

 Crosby Brown; alamandas from O. D. 

 Munn, and dahlias from W. J. Hesse, of 

 Newark, were shown. 



It was decided to keep the approaching 

 ' ' tin wedding ' ' of the society in October 

 in an appropriate manner. 



Parkersburg, W. Va. — Gus Ober- 

 meyer will be at the S. A. F. convention 

 next week. He has a big bed 'of his new 

 canna, West Virginia, at the World's 

 Fair.
