BROOKLYN HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



At a meeting of the Brookl.yn and 

 Long Island florists held on Tuesday, 

 June 10, at the Association rooms, 502 

 Fulton street, Brooklyn, New York, a 

 society was formed to be named the 

 Brooklyn Horticultural Society, organ- 

 ized for the purpose of taking in hand 

 the preparatory work consequent upon 

 the forthcoming meeting of the Ameri- 

 can Carnation Society, which is to be 

 held in Brooklyn, N. Y., in February, 

 1903. The following officers were elect- 

 ed: President, C. W. Ward of Queens, 

 N. Y. ; Vice President, Alfred H. Lang- 

 jahr. BrookhTi, N. Y. ; Secretary, Alex. 

 Wallace, 2 Duane St., New York City; 

 Treasurer, C. G. Weber, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



Another meeting was held at same 

 place, Tuesday evening, June 17. 



A fund to provide ways and means for 

 the entertainment of the members of the 

 Carnation Society was instituted, and 

 from the amount subscribed at the initial 

 meeting it is very evident that the 

 Brooklyn and Long Island florists will 

 take no second place in providing a most 

 cordial and hospitable reception to the 

 risiting brethren in February next. 



All communications regarding the new 

 society should be addressed to the under- 

 signed. Alex Wallace, 



Secretary.

BRADFORD, PA. 



A boiler at the greenhouses of G. L. 

 Graham exploded the night of June S, 

 wrecking the building and contents and 

 causing a loss of .$2,000. 



A fire had that evening been started 

 under the boiler, the weather promising 

 to be so cool as to require some heat 

 in the houses. Mr. Graham was on his 

 way to the boiler house to fix the fire 

 for the night when the boiler exploded. 

 Had the accident occurred a few min- 

 utes later he would have been seriously 

 injured. 



The boiler was rent in two by the 

 force of the explosion. One part was 

 found 300 feet away in one direction 

 and the other part 500 feet away in an- 

 other direction. The boiler house was 

 completely demolished. The greenhouse 

 nearest the boiler was blown to pieces 

 and another one was badly shattered. 



Mr. Graham has a force of men at 

 work clearing away the wreckage and 

 will rebuild and repair the houses at 

 once.

Dallas, Tex. — J. E. Johnson, the nur- 

 seryman, recently lost his only child, a 

 daughter. She was passionately fond of 

 flowers and at the funeral there was a 

 wealth of blossoms from sorrowing 

 friends. The grave was lined with 

 roses. Mrs. Johnson is as prominent in 

 horticultural circles as her husband, and 

 was for years secretary of the Texas 

 State Horticultural Society. Both have 

 the sympathy of a host of friends 

 throughout the state.
