Horticultural Society. 



The regular meeting of the Lenox 

 Horticultural Society was held Satur- 

 day, March 6, with President A. Jen- 

 kins in the chair. George W. Allwood 

 and D. Ferguson were elected active 

 members of the society. 



The following exhibitions will be held 

 under the auspices of the society: An- 

 nual and perennial, July 28, and the fall 

 exhibition, October 26 and 27. Schedules 

 are printed for these and can be had 

 upon application to the secretary. 



A. J. Loveless was awarded a diploma 

 for a display of amaryllis flowers, some 

 of them being very rich in color, and 

 also gave a short talk on their culture. 



The following question was asked: 

 ' * "What is the cause of disease in Lilium 

 Harrisiit" An interesting discussion 

 took place, but no definite conclusion 

 was arrived at. Several instances were 

 cited where large commercial growers 

 had thrown away thousands of diseased 

 plants. 



Saturday, April 3, will be rose and car- 

 nation night, and it is safe to say that 

 competition in- the various classes will be 

 keen, as carnations are grown quite ex- 

 tensively in and around Lenox. After 

 business is disposed of, there will be a 

 smoker, when members who were not 

 asked to sing at the dinner will have a 

 chance to show their vocal talent. 



The annual dinner was held at the 

 Curtia hotel Thursday, March 4, and was 

 a decided Success, about eighty members 

 and friends being present. The night 

 was far from being ideal, as a blizzard 

 was raging at the time; otherwise the 

 attendance would have been larger. After 

 justice had been done to the good things 

 provided by Landlord Curtis, President A.

Jenkins spoke on behalf of the society, 

 and introduced A. McConnachie as toast- 

 master for the evening. Thomas Grey, 

 in a very humorous speech, spoke on be- 

 half of the Florists' and Gardeners' 

 Club of Boston and the North Shore 

 Horticultural Society, and said that gar- 

 deners as a class were the biggest set of 

 "grafters" that he knew. During the 

 course of the evening a telegram was 

 read from A. T. Boddington, of New 

 York, regretting his inability to attend
