The eighth annual dinner of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held on 

 n"lit recently at the Oriental 

 Hotel, Glen Cove, and proved to be one of 

 the most successful affairs that this society 

 has held. Notwithstanding the inclemency 

 of the weather, about seventy members and 

 friends, including a number from New 

 York and New Jersey, sat down to an en- 

 joyable repast. In the absence of Presi- 

 dent H. Gaut, the chair was ably filled by 

 our old friend, e.x-President J. W. Everitt, 

 or ''JacK," as he is known by his many 

 friends, who, after giving everyone a co.- 

 dial welcome, asked the Rev. J. W. Gam- 

 mack to say "Grace," after which everyone 

 settled down to the business of the even- 

 ing, that of having a right good time. 



-Vfter the dinner Mr. Everitt called upon 

 Treasurer E. J. Brown and presented him 

 with a diamond scarf pin as a mark of ap- 

 preciation of the manner in which he filled 

 the office of president during the past year. 

 Mr. Brown in a few words suitably re- 

 sponded and thanked them for their loyal 

 support during his term of office. 



Then Mr. Everitt presented the toast- 

 master of the evening, Mr. Frank Brown, 

 Glen Cove, who kept things lively for the 

 rest of the evening with his quaint dry 

 humor and witty remarks. 



Letters of regret were read from A. 

 Mackenzie, A. F. Faulkener and several 

 others. 



■ I. W. Everitt was presented with the 

 "Wells-Totty" gold medal won by him for 

 I'lirysanthciiiunis at the society's last fall 

 'uiw. Mr. Everitt suitably responded and 

 took the opportunity to thank the members 

 for their kindness in keeping back the date 

 of the dinner until he returned from his trip 

 to England. 



The silver medal was won by A. 

 Mackenzie and was forwarded on to him.

 of the colors were magenta, mauve, deep 

 violet, carmine and lilac lavender. Mr. 

 Alfred Cebelius exhibited three plants of 

 Ceneraria Stellata, one measuring over three 

 feet in height, having pink blooms with a 

 very dark center, the other two bearing 

 red and crimson blooms. President Huss 

 also exhibited six plants of primroses and 

 one plant of Stocks. Mr. Hugo Kuehl ex-

 were red mixed with yellow, crimson, white 

 and delicate pink. They were the product 

 of seed sown last May, making the plants 

 ten months old. The effect of the combina- 

 tion of color was very pleasing and made 

 a fine sight. President Huss requested the 

 secretary to read an article from the 

 GARDf;NERs" Chronicle of AxiEKiCi^ entitled 

 "The ^^^lys in Plant Disease Control by J.
