MORRIS COUNTY GARDENERS' 

 AND FLORISTS' SOCIETY. 



This societ.v is hard at work on 

 Fall Flower Show to be held in the 

 Whippany River Club building, Mor- 

 ristown. N. J. This building has a 

 capacit.v equal to Madison Square Gar- 

 den, New York City, and a supreme 

 effort is being made to fill it. If all 

 the societies that have signified their 

 willingness to show with us should 

 come up, we will be able to do it. 



A move is now on to have the seeds- 

 men and nurserymen make trade ex- 

 hibits, such as garden tools, seeds and 

 bulbs, designs, etc., evergreens in tubs, 

 bay trees, box, etc. Someone might 

 say the place is not central enough, 

 but when one takes into consideration 

 that the Whippany River Club is com- 

 posed of several hundred of the best 

 buyers in the country, and that every 

 member stands sponsor for the suc- 

 cess of the show and promise to bring 

 their friends from a distance, it will be 

 seen that an effort on the part of 

 the seed and nursery trades to show 

 their goods ought to bring results. 

 Twenty of the leading people of Mor- 

 ris count.v have accepted appointments 

 as honorary vice-presidents, and over 

 two hundred have signified a willing- 

 ness to be chosen honorary members. 

 All this indicates the feeling toward.s 

 our society and towards floriculture 

 and horticulture in general. These 

 people have liberally put up money for 

 prizes and now it is up to us to give 

 them a Flower Show in return. The 

 Whippany River Club has chosen from 

 its membership D. Hunter McAlpin, 

 Dr. Leslie D. Ward, and Mr. Otto H. 

 Kahn as a Flower Show Committee, 

 to co-operate with the Gardeners' and 

 Florists' Committee. This has already 

 proved of great advantage all around. 



At the last regular meeting of the 

 society the rose growers had it all 

 to themselves. They arranged the rose 

 section for the final schedule. Harold 

 B. Vyse exhibited some well done 

 specimens of Saxifraga pyramidalis, 

 for which he was awarded cultural cer- 

 tificate, .John E. Lager of Summit lec- 

 tured before the society on June 8 

 on "Orchid Culture." E. R. 



NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY. 



The regular meeting of this society 

 which was held on the evening ot May 

 24 was of more than usual interest 

 on account of the Executive Commit- 

 tee's presenting its recommendations 

 in connection with the Fall Exhibition. 

 These recommendations include many 

 changes that experience from other 

 years had shown need for, so that the 

 report was favorably received and 

 adopted with few alterations. Chief 

 among the changes is the limiting of 

 space or number of samples in collec- 

 tions of vegetables and cut flower 

 classes that used to be unlimited. This 

 exhibition is to be held Sept. 17, 18 

 and 19, and it is very gratifying to 

 see that there is a disposition on the 

 part of the members to prepare to 

 uphold the fame of the exhibitions ot 

 this society. 



This meeting was made still more in- 

 teresting by two fine specimens cal- 

 ceolaria plants in flower on the ex- 

 hibition table. The larger one, which 

 was of the well known Golden Gem 

 variety was unusually well finished 

 and was awarded the society's certifi- 

 cate of merit for superior culture. The 

 other plant which was also well grown 

 was the hybrid C. Stewartii, which has 

 beautiful clear yellow flowers, similar 

 in shade to the Golden Gem, but much 

 larger. This was its first appearance 

 before this society and it was awarded 

 a first class certificate of merit. The 

 exhibitors of both plants was James 

 Bond, gardener for Mrs. H. M. Brooks. 



Mr. Bond has at present a batch of 

 the Stewartii variety which he rooted 

 in February and which promised to be 

 fine plants in full flower about the 

 middle of June, and as other varieties 

 of calceolarias may easily be brought 

 into their prime about that time, why 

 not have more of them about 

 Memorial Day? 



SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS 

 AND ORNAMENTAL HORTI- 

 CULTURISTS. 

 Registration of Fern. 



Public notice is hereby given that 

 the American Rose & Plant Co. of 

 Springfield, Ohio, offers for registra- 

 tion the Fern described below. Any 

 person objecting to the registration or 

 to the use ot the proposed name, is 

 requested to communicate with the 

 secretary at once. Failing to receive 

 objection to the registration, the same 

 will be made three weeks from this 

 date. 



Raiser's Description. 



A sport from Nephrolepis Bostoni- 

 ensis that is a great improvement over 

 that variety, being of the same habit, 

 but of somewhat more vigorous 

 growth. Fronds six to eight inches in 

 width. The edges of each pinnae are 

 decidedly ruffled in wave-like undula- 

 tion that is very distinctive. As the 

 fronds mature the undulations become 

 more pronounced, giving the individ- 

 ual fronds and the plant as a whole 

 a marked wavy effect. Does not run 

 back, the type being fixed. 



Name, "Nephrolepis Roosevelt." 



As no objections have been filed, 

 public notice is hereby given that the 

 registration of the Violet, "Marie 

 Elise." by Thomas DeVoy's Son of 

 Poughkeepsie, New York, becomes 

 complete. H. B. DORNER, 



May 19, 1910. Secretary.
