ORANGE, N. J. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Jersey Floricultural Society was 

 held on the evening of Oct. 3 at their 

 rooms in Orange, the vice-president 

 presiding. 



In the failure of the essay commit- 

 tee to provide a speaker for the even- 

 ing, a "Question Box" was substi- 

 tuted. Among the questions dis- 

 cussed were: Cabbages this season. 

 Remedy for worms. Celery rust, Stem- 

 rot in carnations. Thinning of Japan- 

 ese plums. Is it better to spray grapes 

 to keep off black rot, or bag? Mar- 

 ket for early Wakefield cabbage, 

 Drooping of young rubber plants. 

 So successful was the scheme that it 

 was by vote made a permanent fea- 

 ture of the monthly meetings. 



Information was received of the 

 death of the president's father in 

 Scotland, and as President Duff was 

 absent a committee was appointed to 

 convey sympathy and condolence on 

 Ijehalf of the society. Letters were 

 read from H. A. Dreer inviting the 

 society to view his houses, and from 

 the Morris County Gardeners in re- 

 lation to forthcoming shows, and 

 placed on file. J. B. D. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Thaddeus N. Yates has purchased 

 the entire nursery business of his 

 brother, the late David G. Yates, and 

 will continue the same as heretofore, 

 under the title. "The Mount Airy 

 Nurseries." 



James Henry, a retired florist, died 

 Oct. 6 in the Odd-Fellows Home. Mr. 

 Henry was born in Ireland November 

 23, 1823, and in 1850 came to this 

 country, locating in Germantown, 

 where he carried on the business of a 

 florist until July, 1898. when he re- 

 tired owing to his being stricken with 

 paralysis. One month later his wife 

 died, and having no children or rela- 

 tives he became a resident of the 

 Home, on October 4 of that year.

TlirORE people would use books if they knew their value. Any florist 

 •'•''•*■ who will use our $5 Florists' Manual in the following way will get 

 from Sic to Sioo a year out of it. Spend at least ten minutes every week 

 in getting acquainted with the valuable suggestions in it and use it as a 

 diary of your own work, and a scrap-book of particularly good things you 

 may read elsewhere and want to save for reference. This is "expanding" 

 a book, and many who have tried the plan with other hooks have found it 

 very profitable. This may be done either on the margins or by inserting 

 blank leaves where needed. Sent prepaid for $5.00.
