NASSAU COUNTY HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



The annual dahlia show of this so- 

 ciety was held at Glen Cove, N. Y., on 

 Oct. 8 and was a great success. Both 

 in number and quality of exhibits dis- 

 played this year's exhibit far exceed- 

 ed that of any previous year. The ex- 

 hibits of Mrs. E. M. Townsend, Oys- 

 ter Bay, and Sisson & Thurston, New- 

 port, R. I., were the chief feature of 

 the dahlia exhibits. The collections of 

 vegetables staged by H. C. Smith, Oys- 

 ter Bay, A. G. Hodenpyle, Locust Val- 

 ley, and Mrs. H. L. Pratt, Glen Cove, 

 were conceded by many to be the best 

 seen at any of this society's exhibi- 

 tions. Mrs. B. Stern's special prize 

 of a silver cup for collection of fruit 

 brought out a large competition. 

 John F. Pratt was awarded 1st in this 

 class, exhibiting a fine display of over 

 50 varieties. Mrs. R. J. Maxwell put 

 up a meritorious exhibit of Helianthus 

 Maximilliana which showed up beauti- 

 ful in artificial light adding much to 

 the beauty of the show. C. H. Totty. 

 Madison, N. J., had on exhibition a ta- 

 ble of early-flowering outdoor chrys- 

 anthemums which were admired by a 

 great many. The attendance was very 

 good and the committee in charge de- 

 serves much credit. 



In the evening the regular meeting 

 was held and arrangements gone over 

 for the chrysanthemum show which is 

 to be held on Oct. 28, 29.

A CORRECTION. 



We are informed that we were in 

 error in locating the University of 

 Minnesota in St. Paul, when describing 

 the new plant laboratory of the Col- 

 lege of Pharmacy of the University in 

 our issue of October 4. This great 

 State University is situated In Min- 

 neapolis and not In her sister "twin 

 city" St. Paul. 



Chamberlain & Gage, gladiolus spe- 

 cialists, will move from South Natlck 

 to Wellesley, Mass., about November 

 1st where they have leased a 40-acre 

 farm for five years.

Adolphus Gude and Fred H, Kramer 

 have returned from abroad and prom- 

 ise to give the Florists' Club of Wash- 

 ington an account of their travels at 

 the next meeting. Mr. Kramer is 

 quite enthusiastic over the way flowers 

 are sold directly out of windows In 

 some of the Continental cities where 

 the stores are practically all of glass. 

 He stated that In most of the places 

 the prices equalled or exceeded those 

 in vogue here with but few exceptions.
