The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Febbdary 17, 1910. 



L&NOX, MASS. 



One of the most interesting and in- 

 structive meetings held by the Lenox 

 Horticultural Society for some time 

 was presided over by President G. 

 Foulsham on Saturday, February 5, and 

 was largely attended. W. Maynard 

 was elected an active member of the 

 society. 



An exhibit which called forth special 

 praise was a magnificent vase of 

 twenty-four flowers of a new carnation 

 named Woodenethe, exhibited by Frank 

 E. Whitney, Fishkill-on-Hudson, N. Y. 

 This was unanimously awarded a first- 

 class certificate. The variety exhibited 

 is pure white. The flowers are borne on 

 long, stiff stems and measure three 

 and one-half to four inches across. This 

 splendid new introduction has been 

 exhibited before the New York Florists' 

 Club and at the annual cartiStTon con- 

 vention of this year, where it was 

 awarded a certificate of merit, having 

 scored ninety-one points. 



E. Jenkins gave an interesting lec- 

 ture on the growth and pruning of trees, 

 under the title of "Tree Surgery." He 

 showed in a practical manner how trees 

 are increased in value and live longer 

 under judicious pruning. A. H. Win- 

 gett took up the discussion in a most 

 interesting way, showing how the mar- 

 ket value of timber could be increased 

 by thinning, etc. Most of the members 

 asked questions on the subject, which 

 the lecturer answered in an able man- 

 ner. He was accorded a hearty vote 

 of thanks for his instructive lecture. 



No date has yet been chosen for the 

 society's annual dinner. The commit- 

 tee in charge consisted of E. Jenkins, 

 A. H. Wingett, A. J. Loveless, A. J. 

 Jenkins and A. McConnachie. 



The annual ball, which is always 

 looked forward to with much interest 

 in the vicinity, was held Monday, Janu- 

 ary 24, and was a decided success, both 

 financially and otherwise. The com- 

 mittee, of which F. Butler wais chair- 

 man, is to be congratulated upon the 

 success attending its efforts. 



Rose and carnation night will be 

 held Saturday, April 2. G. H. I. 



Worcester, Mass. — The will of the 

 late H, F. A, Lange, which was filed 

 for probate December 1, 1909, but was 

 contested by the widow, has now been 

 ratified, as Mrs. Lange has withdrawn 

 her opposition. Arthur H. and Carl C. 

 Lange, sons of the testator, had been 

 named as executors, and received the 

 greater part of the $125,000 estate. The 

 terms of the final settlement, or the 

 amount settled on Mrs. Lange, are not 

 reported.
