The regular monthly meeting of the Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural Society was held in Doran's hall, March 14, with President Robert Williamson in the chair. Great enthusiasm is dis- played by the members and the attend- ance maintained at the meetings is ex- cellent, especially considering the long journeys some of the members have to make. Feelings of general regret were expressed on account of the resigna- tion of the vice-president, Oscar Addor, who finds that he is not able to give due attention to the office. By the unanimous vote of the members, H. Wild was elected vice-president for the ensuing year. The best wishes of the society were extended to James Aitchison, who is about to take up his residence in an- other locality. The speaker for the evening was William Scott, of Scott Bros., Elms- ford, N. Y., who delivered a thoroughly practical address on the growing of carnations. The fact that this meeting had been set aside as carnation night brought out a large number of fine ex- hibits. The three prizes given by the society were awarded as follows: First, James Aitchison; second, A. L. Mar- shall; third, E. Johnson. Excellent cul- ture was also noted in the following exhibits: A. L. Marshall, honorable mention for Neph- rolepls magniflca. James Aitchison, cultural certificate for cycla- men and Primula malacoides. A. Wynne, honorable mention for Scblzanthus Wisetonensis. Alex.
