TARRYTOWN. N. Y. 



The monthly meeting of the Tarrytown 

 Horticultural Society was held August 

 30, President Ballantyne in the chair. 

 Angus Ross, Ossining; H. Shave, Tarry- 

 town, and A. Gelding, Irvington, were 

 elected active members. J. G. Raw, E. 

 Lundberg and Hamilton Scott were pro- 

 posed for membership. 



The following prominent horticulturists 

 were invited to act as judges at the No- 

 vember exhibition. John Ash, Pomfret, 



Conn.; Mr. Jenkins, Lenox, Mass.; Wm. 

 Hastings, Tuxedo; D. Frazer, Pittsburg; 

 C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and John 

 Scott, BrooUyn. 



After the business was dispatched, the 

 entertainment committee, Wm. Scott and 

 J. W. Smith, were called upon to do 

 their duty in the way of serving refresh- 

 ments, and for the rest of the evening 

 the members had a most enjoyable time, 

 singing songs, telling stories and discuss- 

 ing the summer outing to Rye Beach, 

 which took place August 17. Over eighty- 

 five members and friends sat down to 

 dinner at the beach. The chief amuse- 

 ments were bowling and shooting, R. 

 White carrying off first prize for being 

 the best shot. The members present 

 seemed to be all of the same mind, that 

 they had a very good time. Prizes for 

 dahlias are offered for the September 

 meeting. T. A. L. 



AMERICAN PEONY SOCIETY. 



The following is the full text of the 



circular of the American Peony Society, 



briefly referred to in last week 's Revibw : 



The American Peony Society at its last meet- 

 ing in New York agreed to co-operate with the 

 Horticultural Department of Cornell CnlverBlty 

 for the purpose of making a study of all varle- 

 tles of peonies that It Is possible to secure at 

 the present time. This study is to extend over 

 a sufficient period of years to enable the In- 

 yestlgatorg to cover the following objects: 



1. Nomenclature. — To bring order out of the 

 confusion which now exists in the naming of 

 varieties. This part of the study will establish 

 correct names by applying rules of nomenclature 

 and will furnish growers with accurate descrip- 

 tions of all authentic varieties. 



2. Botany.— To ascertain the botanical statns 

 of each variety. In other words, to refer it to 

 the species from which it appears to have been 

 derived. 



3. Cultural.— Careful studies of varieties shall 

 be made in order to determine the commercial 

 values of the different kinds. Such points as 

 ^i*?,""',. "^"Ith. florlferous qualities and colors 

 shall be noted. It Is also expected that fertil- 

 izer experiments designed to Influence the sice 

 and shipping quality of the flowers shall be In- 

 cluaed. 



The conditions governing the test are as fol- 

 lows: 



1. The land, the labor of planting and all sub- 

 sequent care are provided by the Kxperlment 

 Station. All notes are taken by the station

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



A meeting of the board of directors 

 was held in the Exposition building, St. 

 Louis, August 18. President James 

 Hartshorne presided. 



The first order of business was the 

 adoption of the premium list. After 

 considerable discussion the list was 

 adopted as per last year's schedule, ex- 

 cepting the display of single blooms, 

 which was eliminated, all agreeing that 

 it did not add to the appearance of the 

 show and was of no educational value. 



An offer by H. Weber & Sons, Oak- 

 land, Md., of cash prizes for Genevieve 

 Lord, Gov. Lowndes and Norway was 

 received and accepted. The president, 

 secretary and all members of the society 

 were recommended to solicit special pre- 

 miums and forward particulars to the 

 secretary as soon as practical and not 

 later than October 1. 



It was unanimously approved that the 

 premium list be printed and mailed on 

 or about November 1, that it be printed 

 complete, advertisements included, and a 

 second copy mailed on or about January 

 1, 1905, so that advertisers receive a 

 double circulation and the members be 

 kept reminded of the valuable premiums 

 offered. 



Papers offered by President Harts- 

 horne, and approved by the board, are 

 as follows: "Carnation Diseases," by 

 Prof. Hasselbring, of the University of 

 Chicago, Chicago; "Carnations From a 

 Retailer's Point of View," by Geo. 

 Weinhoeber, of Chicago, this paper to be 

 illustrated with the practical demonstra- 

 tion of effects possible with camatioas; 

 "Exhibition Carnations," by Fred 

 Lemon, Richmond, Ind., illustrating 

 methods of cutting, packing and staging; 

 "Cutting, Packing and Shipping Carna- 

 tions for Long and Short Distance Ship- 

 ments, " illustrated by practical demon- 

 stration, by C. L. Washburn, Chicago. 



President Hartshorne advised the board 

 that the sixth floor of the Auditorium 

 Hotel had been secured as an exhibition 

 and meeting room. It is a large, finely 

 arranged hall with miosaic floor, admit- 

 ting of the application of moisture to 

 help keep the atmosphere in good shape 

 for the flowers. It is well ventilated and 

 almost ideal for the showing and keep- 

 ing of carnations. Meeting rooms are 

 at the end of the hall on the same floor. 

 He added that there is every reason to 

 look for this as the banner meeting of 

 the society and recommended that every 

 member make his arrangements to come 

 and bring a few new members. 



There being no further business be- 

 fore the meeting, it was declared ad- 

 journed to meet in Chicago the last 

 Wednesday of January, 1905.
