The Houghton Horticultgral Society of I^ynn held its annual exhibition on Tues- day and Wednesday, September 20 and 21. A good display of tropical plants was made; Wm. Stone, Superintendent of Pine Grove Cemetery, W. C. Lewis, and S. H. Davenport contributing largely to this exhibit. Thecut flower specimens were not as good as in previous seasons. Were there several large private places and more interest manifested among the commercial florists of whom there is an unusually large number in this city, a much larger and better exhibit of plants and flower might have been made. The exhibit of fruit, both for quantity and quality is well worthy of mention. The pears, for which Lynn is famed, were particularly good. On Thursday evening the annual ban- quet took place which was largely attended, many of Lynn's noted speakers being invited guests. There was a fine musical and literary entertainment fol- lowed by a collation for which the ladies of the society are entitled to especial praise. It may be well here to make one sug- gestion, namely, that the society have an anuual election lather than a re-election of present officers. S. Patents recently granted.
