The regular monthly meeting of the Westchester and Fairfield Horticul- tural Society was held in Doran's hall, Friday evening, March 13, President Bobert Williamson presiding. There was a large attendance. The talk on roses scheduled for this meeting was postponed until a later date on ac- count of the illness of the speaker, Alex. Cummings, Jr., of Cromwell, Conn. Two new members were elected and three petitions for membership were received. The committee appointed at the last meeting to arrange for a June show made a favorable report and the show will be held at Portchester, N. Y., un- der the auspices of the hospital man- agement, the date to be announced later. The annual fall show will be held in November at New Eochelle, N. Y. A long list of offers from va- rious seed houses, nursery firms and allied interests, of cash and plate, will make the schedule quite attractive. Un- doubtedly the show will be up to the usual high standard of excellence. The question of cooperation with the National Association of Gardeners was again discussed. As the policies of this movement are indefinite as yet, the society will await a further report of the executive committee of the as- sociation after its meeting to be held early in April before any further ac- tion is taken in the matter. There was an interesting display on the exhibition tables. The judges made the following awards: Christmas flowering sweet peas, from Carl Hankensea. honorable mention. Primula obconlca, from W. J. Sealey, cultural certificate. Hybrid freeslas, from A. Bieschke, honorable mention. Mahemia odorata, from P. W. Popp, highly commended. Cucumber Telegraph, from Louis Whitman, ?ote of thanks.
