MASSACHUSETTS 
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 
This is easily the largest and most in¬ 
fluential body of its kind in the United 
States. Annual dues are only $2.00 and this 
entitles members to make use of the finest 
library of its kind in the World, copies of 
the annual transactions of the Society, ad¬ 
missions to Lectures and Flower Shows and 
other advantages, including a copy 24 times 
yearly of “Horticulture.” 
The next great Spring Flower Show will 
be held in Mechanics Building, Boston, on 
March 16-23, 1939. This exhibition will cover 
over 100,000 square feet of space and prom¬ 
ises to surpass all of its predecessors in 
variety and interest. For particulars regard¬ 
ing this exhibition apply to Arno H. 
Nehrling, 300 Massachusetts Avenue, Bos¬ 
ton, Mass. There will be a number of other 
exhibitions during the year which will be 
held in Horticultural Hall, including the 
annual Daffodil show in late April. Free ad¬ 
mission to all of these later ones. 
AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY 
Everyone interested in Roses should be¬ 
long to the American Rose Society, with 
headquarters at Harrisburg, Penn. The an¬ 
nual year book issued by the Society is alone 
worth more than the price of membership, 
which is $3.50 per annum. For full infor¬ 
mation apply to Secretary, American Rose 
Society, Harrisburg, Penn. 
REAL GARDENING 
There are many magazines which give 
considerable space to gardening but very 
few are devoted entirely to it in America. 
REAL GARDENING contains only articles 
from competent authorities who are leaders 
in their line. Every article is readable, non¬ 
technical and to the point, planned and 
written by those who know, for those who 
want to know. All branches of horticulture 
are covered and the magazine is of Digest 
size, easy to handle, to carry and read. It is 
illustrated but carries no advertising, being 
in this way unique. REAL GARDENING is 
issued monthly and costs $3.00 per annum 
or two years for $5.00. For further informa¬ 
tion address REAL GARDENING (Robert 
S. Lemmon, Editor), New Cannan, Conn.
