On St. Valentine's day the niembers 

 of the Central New York Horticultural 

 Society were treated to a fine address 

 by the inimitable C. H. Totty, of Madi- 

 son N. J. The members of the society 

 and friends enjoyed a grand scientific 

 oration on the growth and successful 

 culture of the beautiful and varied 

 kinds of that most curious family, the 

 chrysanthemum. Mr, Totty has certain- 

 ly mastered the conditions peculiar to 

 this extraordinary family, whether the 

 little, tiny dwarf from many mountains 

 of the world, the antipodean varieties, 

 or those from the quaint and funny 

 lands of China and Japan, or the gaudy 

 monsters with 5-foot stems and heads 

 of immense flowers in all shapes and 

 forms, some twisted and simulating the 

 feather of the ostrich, every petal en- 

 riched With a ^owny iinbstance rivaling 

 the ostrich plume. And the large range 

 of color and form has caused no little 

 wonderment to even that astute grower, 

 C. H. Totty himself, who has spept 

 years of study and companionship 

 among such men as Turner, Pockett 

 and other famous and intense students 

 of the chrysanthemum. Mr. Totty sold 

 over a million plants last year and in- 

 tends to exceed this quantity by sev- 

 eral thousand this year. Mr. Totty, 

 after his lengthy address, answered 

 many questions from the audience and" 

 his ready replies elicited much ap- 

 plause. 



It goes without saying that the ar- 

 rangements made by P. T. Proctor and 

 his enthusiastic gardener were a patent 

 asset to the enjoyable evening. The 

 musical contingent also did itself proud 

 and added immensely to the pleasure of 

 this first successful gathering of the 

 Central New York Horticultural So- 

 ciety. Wm. Mathews. 



Pawtucket, R. I. — William Hoffman 

 has a grand strain of cyclamens, not 

 excelled by any grower on the island.
