MANCHESTER 
The half hundred or more members 
who attended the meeting of Magnolia 
Lodge 149, I.0.0.F., Thursday even- 
ing, were treated to a very interesting 
talk by the venerable Deacon F. A. 
P. Killam, on his early life on a farm. 
Deacon Killam has a remarkably good 
memory and his reminiscences of the 
days when he lived at the old home- 
stead (formerly the old Governor John 
Endicott Summer home) were strik- 
ingly enteresting. His description of 
catching wild pigeons,—15 and 20 
doz. at a time — was very graphically 
told. These were marketed in Salem 
after killing and dressing. After the 
meeting the members were treated to 
oyster stew in the banquet hall, pre- 
pared by the entertainment com- 
mittee, Chas. O. Howe, chef. Asan 
entertainment feature of the next 
meeting of the lodge, there will be a 
debate on “Has Labor-Saving Ma- 
chinery beena benefit to the Masses.” 
O. T. Roberts will support the affirm- 
ative and W.C. Rust the negative, 
in opening, after which it will be 
open for discussion. 
A dozen North Shore gardeners 
were off on a little exploring expedi- 
tion Wednesday of this week, visiting 
greenhouses in Lowell, Stoneham and 
Tewkesbury. They went first to 
Stoneham, where they spent consid- 
erable time with Mr. Andrew Chris- 
tensen, who has an extensive estab- 
lishment devoted to growing carnations 
for the Boston market. Mr. Christen- 
sen very courteously escorted the

N. S. Horticultural Society 
‘‘Greenhouse work to be done at 
this time,’’ was the subject of a very 
interesting discussion at the semi- 
monthly meeting of the North Shore 
Horticultural society last evening. 
The discussion was led by William 
Watt of Pride’s Crossing, who had a 
very good paper. 
An interesting feature of the meet- 
ing was the flower display. There 
was a handsome table of cut blooms 
from the R. C. Hooper greenhouse, 
Mr. Swan, gardener, including snap- 
dragon, carnations and several varie- 
ties of orchids 
On another table was a_ beautiful 
collection of carnations from the Mrs. 
W. S. Fitz greenhouse, (W. E. Allen), 
heath and narcissus from the Miss A. 
G. Thayer estate (James Macgregor), 
Easter lillies from the Philip Dexter 
estate (James Salter). W. B. Jack-

mens of rhubarb, and W. E. Allen a 
box of mushrooms.
