NEW LONDON HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIETY. 
The London Horticultural Society held 
its regular monthly gathering Thursday 
evening, June 15, in the Municipal building, 
State street. 
President Miller presided. After reading 
of the minutes, by the secretary, of its 
previous meeting, President Miller moved 
that the society discontinue its meetings 
for the next three months. After consid- 
erable discussion of same among the mem- 
bers present it was voted to take a vaca- 
tion for the months of July and August 
and resume its gathering again the second 
Thursday in September, 
A very pleasing feature of the evening 
was the presentation of a very beautiful 
electric lamp, by the society, to its late 
secretary. John Humphrey. Mr. W. J. 
Morgan made the presentation on behalf of 
the members. Mr. Humphrey very feelingly 
expressed his thanks for same. 
The subject for discussion was one of the 
papers submitted by the National Associa- 
tion of Gardners, "Estate .Management and 
the College Graduate," the same being read 
by the Rev. A. S. Bush, a member of the 
society, lu the discussion that followed 
Mr. Bush's remarks, in which many mem- 
bers took part, it was the sense of the 
meeting that the practical ambitious man, 
equipped with college training, will make 
the lic-t manager of any estate where good 
sound executive ability is needed to con 
tro] men and give satisfaction to both mas- 
ter and employee. Votes of thanks were 
extended to Mr. Bush for his reading of 
the paper, also to the ladies who under- 
took to solicit subscriptions towards Mr. 
Humphrey's testimonial. One new ruber 
was elected for admission to the society. 
The president gave notice of the intending 
departure of Air. Herbert Lickman, tie so 
ciety's librarian and corres] ling secre- 
tary, expressing his regret that we should 
soon lose him from our midst. Mr. Lick- 
man has been assistant t" Mi". Stanlov -lor
