NEWPORT, R. I. 



Hort. Society Meeting. 



The Newport Horticultural Society 

 at its meeting held last week took a 

 decided step on a subject which has 

 been under discussion by the members 

 for the past few months, viz.: The 

 need and desirability of a state ento- 

 mologist. Mr. R. Laurie, gardener for 

 Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, produced 

 branches showing signs of a minute 

 parasite, or scale, which he thought 

 was the "San Jose" scale. Different 

 opinions, however, existed as to this. 

 Mr. Laurie stated that the scale in 

 question would kill a tree or plant in 

 six months, and that it seemed to be 

 white, or brownish, at various times 

 in its progress, and exhibited samples 

 thereof. After discussion as to how a 

 state entomologist could assist florists, 

 gardeners, etc., the society appointed 

 a committee for the purpose of secur- 

 ing legislation to create the office of a 

 state entomologist. Apropos hereto, in 

 some states such a state official is 

 obliged to certify to plants, as being 

 free from dangerous insects, etc., and 

 fit to be received by growers in other 

 places, and without such a certificate 

 some states will not allow plants to be 

 shipped into the state. 



Your correspondent has not been in- 

 formed of a florist or gardener who 

 purposes to attend the convention. But 

 the season here is but a fraction of the 

 long year, and absence from business 

 just now would be financially disas- 

 trous. 



It may be of interest to state that 

 the noble Earl of Yarmouth, now vis- 

 iting Newport, arranges the floral dec- 

 orations at the receptions, etc., given 

 by his hostess in his honor. What 

 next? M - 



CINCINNATI.— A party of local bot- 

 anists and florists will soon start on 

 an expedition to the interior of Cuba, 

 under the guidance of John Nagel, 

 who served a campaign in Cuba last 

 year. Plants sent from Cuba last 

 year to Fred Walz, the florist, have 

 excited so much interest as to bring 

 about this enterprise. 



BRIDGEPORT, O.— For the better 

 accommodation of E. W. Reed's Nur- 

 series, the postoffice department has 

 established a new office called Upland, 

 in Belmont county, which is close to 

 the nurseries. All mail intended for 

 the above firm should be sent to the 

 new address. 



BURLINGTON, VT— A. J. Taylor 

 has removed to his new store at 182 

 Main street. The store is handsomely 

 finished in white and gold.
