 SOCIETY. 



The Summer Show was held on June 10th 

 in the Masonic Hall, which proved to be 

 one of the best shows the society has held. 

 Competition in all the classes was very 

 keen, and the quality of the exhibits excel- 

 lent considering the long, dry spell and the 

 cool nights we have had. Perennials w'ere 

 in great variety, there being seven entries 

 in the class calling for six varieties. Roses 

 both H. T. and H. F. were very good, and 

 strawberries and vegetables were a feature.

 Scott, and H. Nicholls, whose decisions met 

 with great approval.

SEWICKLEY HORT. SOCIETY. 



The regular monthly meeting was held 

 June 14th and proved a most successful 

 and encouraging meeting. Delphiniums, 

 roses, caulillowers and peas were the sched- 

 uled exhibits. Herman Rapp of Leets- 

 dale carried off the major points for del- 

 phiniums and roses ; with J. Barnet second 

 with cauliflower and peas ; and H. Gibson 

 third willi delphiniums and peas. .Amateur 

 classes were strong and a great variety of 

 garden produce of high quality was staged 

 by them. A display of sweet peas by J. 

 Carman was truly a creditable one in view 

 of the dry warm season experienced in this 

 locality. Mr. Carman is a great enthusiast 

 for sweet peas, growing many varieties, 

 among them some that are not yet on the 

 market, but forwarded him by certain 

 growers to test. 



Progress was reported by the Dahlia 

 Show Committee and everything points 

 toward a magnificent show during the first 

 week in October, if Jack Frost only con- 

 ducts himself as we all trust he will during 

 the carlv days of the Fall. In view of the 

 fact that the proposed chrysanthemum show

 DENERS. 



The second outdoor meeting was held at 

 the Municipal Nurseries, Chain of Rocks, 

 St. Louis, on Sunday morning, July 3d. 

 -^fter a short business session the members 

 were conducted through the nurseries bv 

 Ernest Strehle and John Moritz. Thou.sand's 

 of trees and shrubs are here grown for the 

 embellishment of the St. Louis parks, and 

 also trees for street planting. In spite of 

 the late Spring frost which killed ncarlv all 

 the leaves the plants seem to have thor- 

 oughly recovered and are making a fine 

 growth. Methods of propagation and cul- 

 ture were explained to the members, and 

 the value of the municipal nurseries to the 

 city were pointed out. 



The members also visited St. Louis 

 waterworks park, where Mr. Goebel is su- 

 perintendent of the grounds. The water 

 and rock gardens as well as the rugged 

 natural beauty of this park was much en- 

 joyed by tliose present.
