features of hist year's schedule are retained. 
In common with the patriotic spirit which 
fills the air in the East, the committee de- 
cided to turn over the entire proceeds of the 
show to the American Red Cross Society. 
Ribbons in Red, white and blue will be given 
in lieu of cash prizes. Every effort will be 
made to have the show bigger aud better 
than ever.

RIVERDALE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
The Eiverdale Horticultural Society cele- 
brated its first anniversary June 12, The 
liall in the Neighborhood House was very 
attractively decorated for the occasion, the 
members of the committee, Messrs. Carlson 
and Leveuson, deserving great credit for all 
the arrangements and decorations. 
Thirty members and a few guests toolc 
part in the dinner at 6 p. m. Menu cards, 
handsomely painted by a lady artist, 
sounded somewhat mysterious, but all the 
same the eats were of excellent quality. 
Mr. Carlson, known under -Oscar" all 
over the United States. Mexico and Europe 
as a mighty good fellow, distinguished 
himself as an excellent toastmaster. He 
called on several of the members for 
speeches, songs and other recitals. 
At S p. m. the invited members of tlie 
Tree Committee arrived — Edward Delalielil 
and Jlrs. F. Allien. Mr. F. Rovell sent best 
wishes and his regret at not being able to 
be present. The audience certainly listened 
w'ith pleasure and approval to all the good 
tilings said. They were all sorry that Mr. 
Ebel's chair was vacant. He liad tele- 
graphed that sickness provented his attend- 
ing. All expressed their hopes that he may 
recover soon. The latest arrival was H. 
Markel. the well-known horticulttn-ist and 
tree expert. He is responsible for the 
birth of the society, and delivered a speech 
looking forward and backward. 
A long table was decked witli many 
vases of iris and other i.erennials and llow- 
ering shrulis. One vase of Mad. Harriot 
(Daily Mail) from outdoors was greatly ad- 
mired: also a citllection of vegetaldes — 
flesh peas, cauliflower, lettuce and cucum- 
bers 22 inches long were shown, and it 
seemed no easy task for the judges (Mrs. 
F. Allien and Mr. Geo. Norris) to award 
the jrrizes. Messrs. Heidkamp (Mrs. P. 
Boettger), Clark (Mr. Edward Delafield) 
and Millard (Geo. W. Perkins Estate) car- 
ried the honors. 
A large bowl with grape juice ])niicli. 
donateil by one of our distinguished lady 
liatronesses. was an agreeable surprise. Tlie 
majority of the members stayed together 
until niiduigbt. many talents in music, sing- 
ing, etc., furnishing a great deal of amuse- 
lllCllt. 
ST. LOUIS ASS'N OF GARDENERS. 
Tlie regular meeting of the St. Louis 
Association of Gardeners was held at For- 
est Park Greenhouses, President L. P. Jen- 
sen occupying the chair, with twenty-five 
members present. The ]ia])er of the eve- 
ning was given by G. H. Pring on -'The de- 
velopment of Hybrid Xymphaeas." Vari- 
ous ])hotographs were demonstrated show- 
ing the work carried on at the Missouri 
Botoiiical Garden. On motion, regularly 
moved and seconded, the various papers 
given at the monthly meetings tvill be pub- 
lished in book form annually, to be given 
to the members at cost.

TUXEDO HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
The regular monthly meeting of the Tux- 
edo Horticultural .Society was held in the 
Parish House on June li, Presiilent 1*. Cas- 
sidy in the chair. 
At our May meeting Mr. .John Scheepers, 
New York, gave a lantern lecture on tulips 
which was enjoyed by all present. It was 
one of the most practical lectures ever given 
before the .society. 
Tlie report from the Ball Committee was 
a very encouraging one. The society passed 
a resolution to give the proceeds of the ball 
to the Tuxedo Red Cross, and I am pleased 
to say we cleared over $200. The society 
has agreed to hold its fall show as usual. 
We will also run our show for the benefit 
of the Red Cross, the particulars of which 
will be reported later.
