GERMANTOWN, PA. 



The February meeting of the German- 

 tovm Horticultural Society was held on 

 Monday evening. Mr. J. Otto Tliilow, of 

 the firm of Henry A. Dreer, read a care- 

 fully prepared paper on "Sowing Seeds" 

 that proved most interesting. Mr. Thi- 

 low said that amateurs generally sowed 

 their seeds too deep. He gave a descrip- 

 tion of the treatment required by many 

 dififerent kinds of seeds. In reply to a 

 question Mr. Thilow said that no seeds- 

 man's catalogue was nearly large enough 

 to give a detailed account of how to sow 

 seeds. The essayist was warmly ap- 

 plauded. 



The exhibits were of unusual interest. 

 Besides those from local growers, C. W. 

 Ward, Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y., 

 sent four vases of carnations; Harry 

 Fenn. a large, deep crimson; J. H. Man- 

 ley, fine bright scarlet; Viola Allen, 

 white, pink markings, and Golden Beau- 

 ty, large, lightly penciled with pink. All 

 were very much admired and made a 

 most creditable exhibit. Arthur Her- 

 rington, Florham Farms, IMadison, X. J., 

 sent a fine bunch of Gerbera Jamesonii, 

 the Barburton or Transvaal Daisy. The 

 bunch made a much finer show- 

 ing than when shown before the 

 Philadelphia Florists' Club a month 

 earlier. As seen at Germantown, it was 

 certainly a fine thing and won many 

 friends. The H. A. Dreer Co., Riverton, 

 N. J., exhibited Clematis indivisa in full 

 bloom ; very pretty it was, too. It is 

 described as doing best when out in the 

 ground in a greenhouse. When in a 

 cool temperature it will gj-ow luxuriant- 

 ly. It is not a new plant but it is rare. 



All the above exhibits received the so- 

 ciety's high commendation. The ques- 

 tion box was a feature of this meeting.
