 given a generous appropriation in this 

 connection. Mr. Bunyard presented a

 ficers for next year was appointed, con- 

 sitting of Messrs. Weathered, Totty,

State Vice-President Bunyard of the

 plication blanks for those who desired 

 to join the national society. A dis- 

 cussion on the inadequate pay received 

 by professional gardeners in the public 

 parks as compared with the wages of 

 ordinary laborers brought out some 

 brilliant oratory, notably by Robert E. 

 Berry. 



The only exhibits were from W. A. 

 Jlanda. who received cultural certifi- 

 cates for a number of fine hardy her- 

 baceous plants. 



convenience. An arbitration commit-

CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The first June meeting of this so- 

 ciety was held on the 11th inst., at 

 the County Building, Hartford, Presi- 

 dent John F. Huss occupying the chair. 

 Much of the evening was spent in mak- 

 ing plans for the fall exhibitions; and 

 many of the rules of the New Haven 

 County Horticultural Society, relating 

 to exhibitions, were adopted for our 



NASSAU COUNTY HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



This society held its regular 

 monthly meeting in Pembroke Hall, 

 Glen Cove, on the evening of June 9, 

 with a small attendance, owing to the 

 unpleasant weather. Vice-President 

 Emslie occupies the chair during the 

 absence of President Everett. A 

 great deal of business was transacted. 

 Final arrangements were made for 

 the summer show, which is to be held 

 in Pembroke Hall on June 23. This 

 is the first time the society has held 

 a summer show, and everything pos- 

 sible is being done to make it a suc- 

 cess. They intend to hold it annually 

 in future. Preliminaries were dis- 

 cussed regarding the dahlia and chry- 

 santhemum shows. Jlr. Dean. Glen 

 Cove, offered a silver cup for the best 

 collection of dahlias shown on long 

 stems. His idea in offering the cup 

 is to encourage the culture of the 



dahlia as a cut flower. The fall ex- 

 hibition is to be held the last week of 

 October instead of the first week of 

 November as formerly. 



The monthly exhibits were as usual 

 of a high order. The judges for the 

 month were Messrs. Duthie, Garrett 

 and Holloway. Their awards in the 

 points competitions were: Paul 

 Reul, lettuce, 912-3; H. Gaut, peony, 

 88 1-3; V. Cleres, tuberous begonia, 

 88 1-3; G. Wilson, roses (outdoor) 

 86 2-3. G. Wilson and P. Reul were 

 awarded culttire certificates for a 

 collection of vegetables and three 

 heads of lettuce respectively. Special 

 attention was drawn to the fine cauli- 

 flower shown in G. Wilson's collection. 

 On request, Mr. Wilson told briefly 

 how it had been grown. 



S. J. Trepass exhibited a yellow car- 

 nation seedling. V. Cleres was award- 

 ed honorable mention for an exhibit . 

 of May King lettuce. H. Turner, 

 Castle Gould, Wm. Millar, Oyster Bay, 

 and Wm. Marshall, Glen Cove, have 

 been asked to officiate as judges at 

 the rose show. J. Hearn, Roslyn, was 

 elected to active membership.
