lowed the reading of Mr. Wheeler's pa- 

 per and he was accorded an enthusiastic 

 vote of thanks. President Westwood ap- 

 pointed a nominating committee to bring 

 in lists of oflBcers at the next meeting. 

 •Several additions were again made to the 

 membership. 



The awards committee gave William 

 Downs a report of merit for fine Celosia 

 plumosa. W. N. Craig received a report 

 of super'i.ir merit for Nevjn" Fothor- 

 gilli major. W. W. Rawson & Co. had 

 large displays of dahlias, anemones ~and 

 colchicums. George Page exhibited climb- 

 ing Kaiserin rose. 



The nominating committee appointed 

 consists of Wilfrid Wheeler, Charles Hol- 

 brow and William Rust. 



The landscape committee reported that 

 it is hoped to resume classes in land- 

 scape gardening at an early date. The 

 idea is to have two classes this season, 

 one for advanced students, the other for 

 beginners. It also is hoped to arrange 

 for a .series of practical lectures from 

 first-class authorities on the same sub- 

 je^'t. A good number of members en- 



rolled themselves as pupils. There was, 

 as usual, a fine display of seasonable 

 flowers on the exhibition table. Re- 

 freshments were served and it was quite 

 late before the meeting terminated. The 

 attendance was 150 and indications point 

 to the best winter session in the club's 

 history. 



Various Notes. 



The annual fall exhibition of fruits 

 and vegetables on October 10 and 11 at 

 Horticultural hall was a splendid one, 

 all the halls being called into requisition 

 to accommodate the exhibits. In spite of 

 the rather light fruit crop, the apples 

 and pears were splendid and finer vegeta- 

 bles were never staged at a Boston show. 

 The display of fifty varieties of hardy 

 grapes from the T. S. Hubbard Co., 

 Fredonia, N. Y., was a great feature and 

 was worthily awarded a silver gilt medal. 

 Gratuities were awarded to R. & J. 

 Farquhar & Co. for a display of foliage 

 plants and Lilium spcciosum rubrum, 

 W. W. Rawson & Co. for a fine collec- 

 tion of dahlias and G. E. Davenport for 

 a general display. W. C. Strong re- 



ceived honorable mention for seedlings of 

 Weir's cut-leaved maple. 



Blue Hill Nurseries have had a very 

 heavy fall trade in hardy perennials and 

 have shipped more evergreens than usual 

 for early fall planting. 



Some very fine Clementine Touset 

 chrysanthemums are coming into the 

 market from W. C. Ward. Another suc- 

 cessful grower of this fine variety is Wil- 

 liam Nicholson. 



Alexander Montgomery reports his white 

 sport of Killamey rose is doing finely. 

 He expects to have 5,000 plants of it 

 next season. One grower who has seen 

 it ordered that number alone. It will 

 not be introduced before the sprine of 

 1909. ^ 



William A. Walke, of Salem, has a 

 splendid lot of several thousands of Lil- 

 ium Harrisii coming for Christmas. 



Alexander McKay is growing freesias 

 more heavily this season, these, with car- 

 nations, being his specialties. 



Thomas Galvin is making some effect- 

 ive window displays of oncidiums, cat- 

 tleyas and other seasonable orchids. 



Houghton & Clark, as usual, are show-
