The first annual meeting of the West- 

 chester and Fairfield Horticultural So- 

 ciety was held at Stamford December 

 8, with eighty members present, seven 

 new members being elected. The fol- 

 lowing ofiicers were chosen for 1912: 

 President, James Stuart; vice-president, 

 Robert Williamson; treasurer, Thomas 

 Aitchison; corresponding secretary, 

 Oscar Addor; financial secretary, J. B. 

 McArdle; executive committee, Chas. 

 Adcock, J. T. Burns, Wm. Smith, James 

 Aitchison and P. W. Popp. 



It was decided to hold the meetings 

 for 1912 in Greenwich. J. K. M. L. 

 Farquhar will lecture at the meeting 

 January 12. The society voted to hold 

 the fall chrysanthemum show at New 

 Rochelle, N. Y., and the summer rose 

 show at Greenwich. 



The judges recommended a certifi- 

 cate of merit to James Stuart for 

 calanthes. Cultural certificates were 

 given to T. W. Stobo for carnations, 

 and to Robert Williamson for vege- 

 tables. Honorable mention was given 

 to James Foster for Cypripedium in- 

 signe and to Thos. Ryan for three va- 

 rieties of carnations. A vote of thanks

The Springfield Florists' Club held 

 its regular meeting December 11, in 

 the rooms of the Commercial Club. 

 After the transaction of routine busi- 

 ness, Harry F. Good read a carefully 

 prepared, interesting and scientific 

 paper on "Soils," a subject of most 

 vital importance to every florist and 

 nurseryman. With the aid of a high- 

 power microscope, samples of a number 

 of different soils were shown, giving 

 the members a better understanding of 

 the elements necessary to the growth 

 of plants. A general discussion fol- 

 lowed, participated in by all members 

 present, in which the' idea prevailed 

 that it would be well for growers to 

 submit samples of their soils to the 

 proper department of the government 

 experiment stations for analysis and 

 thus learn of any element lacking for 

 the production of best results in plant, 

 bloom and fruit. Ge Dale.
