 friends attended. In the ajjsence of the 

 president, the chair was ably filled by 

 J. W. Everitt, who presented ex-Presi- 

 dent E. J. Brown with a handsome gold 

 and diamond stickpin as a mark of 

 appreciation of the inanner in which he 

 filled his term of office. Mr. Brown, in 

 a few words, thanked the members for 

 their loyal support. The chairman then 

 presented the toastmaster of the even- 

 ing, Frank Bowne, who called on 

 speaker after .speaker until there was 

 hardly a topic under the sun which 

 had not been alluded to, from the first 

 gardener and his assistant, Adam and 

 Eve, up to the present age of state 

 horticultural colleges. The list of 

 speakers included J. A. Shaw, Rev. J. 

 W. Ganunack, A. Herrington, L. E.
