NORTH SHORE HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIETY. 
At the regular meeting of the North 
Shore Horticultural Society, Manchester, 
Mass., on January 21, President W. N. 
Craig, of the National Association of har- 
deners, gave a very interesting and in- 
structive lecture on perennials and bulbs. 
President Craig also gave a brief outline of 
the aims and ambitions of the X. A. G.. 
and hoped that all gardeners would support 
the organization by becoming members an I 
taking an active interest in its doings and 
welfare. Vice-president Wetterlow had a 
collection of primulas on exhibition. Last 
year Mr. Wetterlow was awarded a silvei 
medal for a mauve primula, which was a 
cross between primula stellata and p 
ehinensis. the habit of the plant being of 
the stellata variety and the flowers of the 
ehinensis type and fully as large. The 
plants exhibited at the last meeting were 
seedlings from this cross, being true to 
type and white, led. pink and mauve in 
color. 
At the previous meeting William Till 
read the paper by W. W. Ohlweiler, oi 
Missouri, "The Profession of Gardening," 
after which it was voted to accept the Na- 
tional Association's oiler to furnish a simi- 
lar paper for discussion at subsequent 
meetings. 
The following officers were elected for 
1910: 
President— Mrs. W. Scott Fitz. 
Vice-president — Erie H. Wetterlow. 
Treasurer — John Jall'ray. 
Clerk — Leon W. Carter. 
Librarian — Patrick A. Gilmore. 
Executive Committee — Alfred A. Parsons, 
chairman; Herbert Shaw, .lames Salter,

This society was organized in 1899, leas- 
ing Lee's Hall for its headquarters, and 
was incorporated in 1900, the membership 
being about 200. Last year Lee's build- 
ing was sold and the society was turned 
out of its home. A small hall was secured 
for temporary use and a movement started 
to build a horticultural hall. The society 
has purchased a building site near the rail- 
road station and hopes before long to be 
able to erect a suitable building. Plans are 
being considered for a main hall about 
60x80, with ante-rooms ami basement for 
storage purposes, etc. The Building Com- 
mittee is composed of the executive com- 
mittee and three shore residents. If the 
hall is built this year it will be through the 
generosity of the wealthy shore people, 
who have always taken a great interest in 
the society and contributed liberally to its 
support. 
For various reasons it was voted to omit 
the annual banquet this rear.
