AMONG THE GARDENERS 



Various local societies are now hard at it training their 

 teams for the coming national bowling tournament. 

 Alany of the teams are visiting each other in contest, 

 and Yonkers has had several calls, one from the Glen 

 Cove team and one from the Westchester and Fairfield 

 team. In both events Yonkers showed its hospitable feel- 

 ing by permitting the visitors to carry off the honors. 

 The Yonkers boys claim, however, that they will turn the 

 tables when they come to New York. 



Charles C. De Wilde, of West End, N. J., is taking a 

 short vacation in a trip to Florida, where he expects to 

 spentl the best part of the month of Februar}-. 



L. A. Ortiz, who presides over the Pratt estate, at Glen 

 Cove, N. Y., has his eyes on the $16,000,000 which has 

 been appropriated by the government for the advance- 

 ment of agriculture. Mr. Ortiz contends that horticul- 

 ture and floriculture is entitled to some of this money, and 

 as vice-president of the Farmers' Congress of the State 

 of New York, he is endeavoring to obtain recognition for 

 these two branches, which are so closely linked with the 

 agricultural interests. 



One of our Eastern seedsmen has just returned from 

 an extensive Western trip through Ohio, Illinois, Wis- 

 consin and Kansas, and says that he was surprised and 

 naturally more than pleased at the great interest dis- 

 played on the part of the gardeners in the West towards 

 the International Flower Show. Many of the gardeners 

 in the States named are planning to be in New York 

 during the show week. 



The Newport Horticultural Society will hold an out- 

 door Summer show in June in conjunction with one of the 

 garden societies composed of estate owners. With the in- 

 terest taken in this event on the part of the owners of the 

 private estates, it is anticipated that Newport will have 

 a show worth while this Summer. 



Some surprises may be looked for at the next Fall 

 show of the New York Horticultural Society in the 

 chrysanthemum classes. It is rumored that one of the 

 growers is going to bring out something entirely novel in 

 the form of specimen plants, and which should arouse 

 as keen an interest as did the bush plants last season. 

 The $100 cup offered by the society for the twelve va- 

 rieties of cut "mums will also undoubtedly bring out some 

 keen competition. 



Among the new members enrolled in the association is 

 one old in the profession, a good friend of all gardeners. 

 Mr. Nicholas Butterbach. The progress made by the 

 National Association of Gardeners during the past year 

 did not escape his attention. 



Mr. Thomas F. Eastwood, who for many years was 

 superintendent over the estate of the late Mrs. t). M. Os- 

 borne, of Auburn, N. Y., terminated the position there 

 last month. Mr. Eastwood has so far made no other ar- 

 rangements as to the future, and is seeking an oppor- 

 timitv. 



The Tuxedo Horticultural Society announces that it 

 ill hold a Summer show sometime in July.
