 a jilaii to <>et the otiim' societies inter 

 esteil liy certificates or inednls at tlie fall 

 shows, it niii^hl be jirodiictiv c of <4'ooc| 

 results. As rresi<l(iit liOveless \eiy truly 

 said, the v\ork is loetiiized and confined 

 l.arecly to the ]>articular teiritor,v vv'here 

 the society happens to hold its nKM'tinys, 

 as it is .at present conducted. The sann^ 

 holds <i((od, nnfortunatel.v, in other soci- 

 eties of a like character and the ('. S. A. 

 need nut feel disc'oiir;ij>ed on that account. 

 The ( '. S. A. will doubtless ioin hands 

 with th(> 8. A. V. at Chieag;o iii 1908 iind 

 will niiike that show a splendid success. 

 The ineetiny- j)la(;e was left in the hands 

 of the executive eoniinittei^ with power 

 and the election of Anyiist I'oelilinann 

 for \ icj-president seems to point to Chi- 

 cau(, in 190S. The ajppointine ,,t' a com 

 inittee to draft a scale for .judjjiny pom 

 ]>ons and sin<jles is a yood thinj;- and this 

 broadeuiny out of the society, wliih^ it 

 may entail lots of work on the officers, 

 will bear fruit at a later date. Tin; secre 

 ta r,v and treasurer also were rei'dected.

The fall exhibition of the I'ennsyj 

 \ania llortieultiiral Society Avas opened 

 in Horticultural hall Tiies.lay evening, 

 November li'. The center of the main 

 li.all was filled with well-giovvii specimen 

 chrysanthemums in larye pots, the plants 

 beiny taller than usual, averajjing fullv 

 four .and onehalf feet in height. They 

 were well fiimishod with yoo<l flowers 

 and foli.age. There were few new \arie- 

 ties. most of the exhibitors pinniny theii 

 faith on well-known, standard .sorts. The 

 sides i)i the hall were adorned by six 

 yi'oujis of foliage plants of «dioii-e qual 

 itv, competitors for the mw Walki ' 

 pri/e. Hetvveen them wei-e the fi iiidi 

 chr,vsanthemuins grown to single stem. 

 .Most of these exhibits showed high cul- 

 tural skill. 



The stage was filled by the Henry A. 

 l)reor Co. collection of foliage plants. 

 new and standard ^arielies. To the 

 light again was a d.ainty falde of orchids 

 in bloom, with foli;ige plants .arranged

 pl.iy ot' poin]ion chrysant heniiims in 000.,

 o|es, toiined ;i larger pro|iortion of the 

 tlovveis in the exhibition than in ]ia^t 



-e.-l.-olis. 



The fiiva'r w.as filled with well-grown 

 terns, specimens from [niv.ate collections, 

 and rare stove pl.aiits. I'.etween these 

 and till' main li.all vmh- the i-m chrysan-
