The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



December 21, 1905. 



LENOX, MASS. 



The regular meeting of the Lenox 

 Horticultural Society was held in the 

 toAvn hall December 1(5. A larger num- 

 ber of the members than usual turned 

 out as a compliment to the newly elected 

 officers. Seated beside President Carl- 

 quist were A^ice-President Heeremans and 

 Treasurer ]\IcC'onnachie. Arthur T. Bod- 

 dingtun. of Now York, and Jas. T. Scott, 

 of Tari'ytowii, were present, Mr. Bod- 

 dington Ijeiiig u member of the society. 

 He made u proposition that the 

 society adopt a scale of points for 

 the guidance of judges at our shows, 

 not only for judging chrysanthe- 

 mums, roses and carnations, but for 

 fruits, vegetables, flowering plants and 

 groujis. This drew forth a great deal of 

 discussion. .Many were of opinion that 

 it would l)e a slight upon the judges 

 called wpon to pass on such exhibits. 

 Some feared that it would partake too 

 much of the stereoscopic and leave no 

 room for individuality. After a very 

 full discussion, however, Mr. Bodding- 

 ton's pro]>osition Avas unanimously 

 adopted. 



Mr. Scott responded to the invitation 

 of the president and gave a short talk. 

 In his remarks lie dwelt upon the excel- 

 lence of our exhibits, particularly upon 

 the unique construction of our plant 

 groups. He said that in his travels he 

 had not v.itnessed at any exhibition this 

 fall such individuality and taste displayed 

 as was always to be seen here. According 

 to him Lienox is doing missionary work 

 in this respect, and it would be an edu- 

 cation for the craft at large, if they 

 could witness these displays. The aver- 

 age plant group at most exhibitions 

 partakes of the haycock form and is 

 built with plumb and rule. He said he 

 regretted very much that the country at 

 large does not know more fully the 

 grand work that is being accomplished 

 for horticulture in this section. 



F. E. Pierson Co. had on exhibition 

 three vases of new carnations, Helen 

 Gould, White Enchantress and Winsor, 

 Winsor is a beautiful pink, the same 

 shade as Fiancee. It very much resem- 

 bles Lawson in size, form and stem. Mr. 

 Scott said that in freedom of growth and 

 productiveness it excels that grand old 

 variety, and so far they never have been 

 troubled with a burst calyx. White En- 

 chantress is a sport, as the name implies. 

 The color is pure. Helen Gould is also 

 a sport of Enchantress. The color is 

 dark ])ink, with slight variegation of still 

 darker pink and, contrary to ex-pecta- 

 tions, it will make a very striking com- 

 bination. We understand Miss Gould 

 saw the flower at Tarrytown and was 

 very much in love with it; hence the 

 name. Each sort recoivod a first-class 

 certificate. 



The new president named the members 

 for the various committees. His selec- 

 tion in each case was happy and a suc- 

 cessful year is predicted. The president 

 also appointed a committee to draw up 

 resolutions of condolence to be sent to 

 the families of John Sloane and Mrs. 

 Biddle, both life members of the society. 

 They both took a very active interest in 

 all the society's doings and subscribed 

 very liberally to the funds. Their death 

 is a serious loss to the society. G. F.
