STAMFORD, CONN. 



The regular meeting of the West- 

 chester and Fairfield Horticultural So- 

 ciety was held in Eoyal Arcanum hall 

 on the evening of June 9, President 

 Stuart occupying the chair and eighty- 

 five members being present. Two life, 

 two honorary and nine active members 

 were elected. The preliminary schedule 

 of the fall show and copies of the 

 revised by-laws were distributed. To 

 members not present copies will be 

 mailed. President Stuart appointed a 

 committee of seven to take charge of 

 the floral display in connection with 

 Wonderland, to be held in Stamford 

 June 14 to 17 for the benefit of the Day 

 Nursery. The society will hold its an- 

 nual outing and games next month, 

 and the executive committee was in- 

 structed to make arrangements and re- 

 port at the July meeting. 



For the exhibits of the evening the 

 judges made the following awards: 

 High commendation to Charles Adcock 

 for lettuce; to James Stuart for vase 

 of hybrid aquilegia; to Carrillo & Bald- 

 win for plant of Dendrobium thyrsi- 

 florum; vote of thanks to P. W. Popp 

 for vase of Spiraea Queen Alexandra, 

 and to A. S. Peterson and James Aitch- 

 ison for peonies. Several new members 

 were introduced and were much im- 

 pressed by the large attehdance and 

 fine exhibits. J. B. M. 



CHARLOTTE, MICH. 



William Breitmeyer, a brother of 

 Fred Breitmeyer and of ex-Mayor Breit- 

 meyer, of Detroit, has decided to re- 

 enter the florists' trade and has chosen 

 this town as his location. He has pur- 

 chased four acres of land at the corner 

 of Harris avenue and Lincoln street 

 and will erect three houses, each 22 x 

 150 feet. He has placed an order for 

 a carload of glass, to be delivered July 

 1, and expects to have about 15,00(J 

 square feet of glass. He will enter 

 both the retail and wholesale fields 

 in cut flowers, and before the end of the 

 year will have from $10,000 to $12,000 

 invested.
