TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



The Tarry town Horticultural Society's 

 eighth annual dinner was, as usual, a 

 popular success. The attendance was 

 up to the average, the large dining- 

 room being completely filled. Many let- 

 ters of regret were read from prominent 

 horticulturists unable to attend. The 

 dinner itself was an inspiration. The 

 tables were decorated with Winsor car- 

 nations by the F. R. Pierson Co. The 

 festivities lasted until nearly midnight.

 Record, Avas the toastmaster of the even-

Horticulture as Viewed by the Horti- 

 cultural Press," responded to by J. 

 Austin Shaw. J. Addison Young, of 

 New Rochelle, gave an interesting ad- 

 dress M'ith many amusing stories. 

 Charles Tibbets, of White Plains, dis- 

 coursed upon "The Necessity of Public 

 Parks." Editor Raymond had for his 

 subject, ' ' Peerless Tarrytown and What 

 the Local Press Can Accomplish for 

 Horticulture. " He is the ' ' old man 

 eloquent. ' ' Frank P. Millard talked on 

 ' ' Horticulture in Our Public Schools. ' ' 

 Other speakers were Jas. I. Donlan, A. 

 H. Brown and James Scott. 



W. O. Saltford, of Poughkeepsie, ex- 

 hibited his new carnation, a cross be- 

 tween Lawson and Propriety, a beauti- 

 ful pink of immense depth and size 

 averaging four inches in diameter. Mr. 

 Saltford will exhibit it at Toronto.

 society, which is in a most healthful
