PARK AND CEMETERY. 
tional meetings of the congress repre- 
senting the particular subject. 
All persons interested in any phase 
of horticulture are therefore asked to 
co-operate, in this movement and all 
local, state and national societies are 
invited and urged to be represented 
either by holding their regular ses- 
sion, or by duly authorized delegates. 
It is hoped that this congress will 
bring together a multitude of horti- 
culturists that could hardly be expect- 
ed to come together in any other 
manner, and that a goodly number 
of the national societies will decide 
to hold a regular session during the 
week in which the congress is in ses- 
sion. H. C. Irish, St. Louis, Mo., is 
secretary of the National Council.

Mr. Charles M. Coring, the father 
of the Minneapolis park system, and 
for many years the leader in civic im- 
provement work in that part of the 
country, has announced that he will 
not be a candidate for re-election to 
the Park Commission in that city. 
Mr. Coring is quoted as follows in a 
Minneapolis paper: “I have passed 
the allotted three score years and ten, 
and have reached the age when I feel 
that I must give up my former activi- 
ties to some extent. For that reason 
I have resigned sevral ■ positions I 
have held in various societies and 
companies. M.y illness of last winter 
convinced me that I must seek a mild- 
er climate during the winter season, 
and we have planned to spend the 
cold months in southern California.” 
Mr. Coring has recently offered to 
present to Coring Park a pavilion to 
be of concrete and brick with a tile 
roof. It will be thoroughly fireproof 
as w'ell as beautiful in design. The 
cost will be from $8,000 to $10,000.

Carl U. Fohn, who has been fores- 
ter of Keney Park, Hartford, Conn., 
for the past three years, has accepted 
an appointment as superintendent of 
the extensive estate of Gen. Palmer, 
of Colorado Springs, Colo., and has 
left to assume his new duties. Mr. 
Fohn was an active member of the 
Hartford Florists’ Club and the Con- 
necticut Horticultural Society.
