HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. gwitiiiwwmiimmmmniiiiiimmmiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiimmmmiiiiiiiiiiiimm 
The Horticultural Society of Western Pennsylvania has decided 
to change its headquarters from the East Liberty Branch of Car- 
negie Library, Pittsburgh, to the downtown Colonial Hotel, owing 
to the latter being nmre convenient for the Sewickley and 
Sewiekley Heights members. Carnation Night was observed at 
its February meeting by the organization, and the January ses- 
sion was devoted to roses. There was a fine exhibition of the 
flowers, which included a collection from Charles H. Totty of 
Madison, N. J., and from A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, Conn. 
Supplementary there was quite a discussion among those present, 
who generally conceded that the cloudy winter days of Pitts- 
burgh practically preclude successful greenhouse rose culture. 
However, the past year has been decidedly less smoky than any 
season in the local history of the steel and iron industries, and 
several men are contemplating resuming this special branch of the 
work with renewed energies. 
On Saturday evening, January 15, the Horticultural Society 
held an open session in the auditorium of the Chamber of Com- 
merce, when J. K. M. L. Farquhar of Boston delivered an interest- 
ing lecture on his travels through the gardens of China and 
Japan. The lecture was illustrated with the stereopticon and 
showed the mode of gardening in the Orient. Mr. Farquhar also 
introduced a number of new hardy plants from China, which he 
is distributing to the trade, and which were collected by Mr. 
Wilson. Prior to the meeting Secretary Tyler had issued invita- 
tions which were responded to by numerous members of the 
Garden Club of Allegheny County and other amateurs. At the 
April meeting of the society a lecture will be delivered on the 
subject of "Small Greenhouses and What to Grow in Them," 
which is especially designed for the amateurs who are affiliated 
or incidentally interested in the new organization. There is also 
to be a spring meeting in honor of the ladies of the Garden Club 
of Allegheny County, at which the subject of bedding plants will 
be discussed.
