TARRYTOWN, N. Y. 



Hort. Society Meeting. 



The regular monthly meeting of 

 the Tarrytown Horticultural Societj 

 was held in the Vanderbilt building. 

 Main street, on Thursday evening, the 

 28th ult.. but owing to the horticult- 

 ural fair at the American Institute, 

 New York, and the Dewey celebration 

 the attendance was somewhat less 

 than usual. Several items of Impor- 

 tance in connection with the forthcom- 

 ing exhibition were discussed and dis- 

 posed of. 



John Humphrey, gardener to Mr. 

 Legg. Tarrytown. exhibited a vase of 

 an unnamed carnation, of the Eldo- 

 rado type, which showed up well and 

 was very favorably commented upon. 

 Walter M. Cooke, Tarrytown: Claude 

 Wilson, Dobbs Ferry, and Peter 

 Franklin were elected to membership. 

 Robert Henderson, Irvington: Steven 

 Bradley, Hastings; John Boshard and 

 Joe Money were proposed. 



Exhibit at Westchester Fair. 



The Westchester county fair held 

 last week at White Plains, besides its 

 agricultural splendor, had several fea- 

 tures of interest to the florist and 

 horticulturist alike. For the most ef- 

 fective group of not less than 100 pot- 

 ted plants, F. R. Pierson Co.. Tarry- 

 town, secured first honors. They ha~d 

 a nice, clean collection of palms — 

 kentias, latanias, arecas — pyramid and 

 standard bays, Pandauus Veitchii, 

 with an edging of selaginella. This 

 was arranged as a triangle and was 

 very effective. J. S. Snedeker, White 

 Plains, was second. His comprised a 

 general collecting of greenhouse flow- 

 ering plants of over 100 varieties. 

 Cooke & McCord, Tarrytown, were 

 third with a very creditable exhibit for 

 the budding florists. F. R. Pierson Co. 

 secured first honors for dahlias and 

 cannas. with a superb collection. J. S. 

 Snedeker was first for a general col- 

 lection of cut flowers. Fruit and vege- 

 tables were very fine. 



Various Notes. 

 The competition for the private 

 gardeners' bulb orders seem to be 

 getting keener than ever. I chanced 

 to walk along Broadway one after- 

 noon last week, ami in less than half 

 an hour, before I bad walked one mile, 

 I came across the following: John 

 Egan, of Egan & Sons. North Tarry- 

 town; W. T. McCord, of Cooke & Mc- 

 Cord, Tarrytown: the representatives 

 of Stumpp & Walter Co. and of 

 Weeber & Don. New York. All had a 

 special line, of course, and were ready 

 to write you up for anything from one- 

 half pound of raffia to a greenhouse. 



Cooke & McCord are still adding to 

 their greenhouse space. At present 

 they are building a house for growing 

 palms. 



The general report is, "Business is
