DAHLIA SOCIETY OF NEW 

 JERSEY 



The Dahlia Society of Xcw Jersey will 

 hold its first Aimual Dahlia Show at tJic 

 Robert Treat Hotel, Xcwark, Kew Jersey, 

 on Thursday. Friday and Saturday, Septem- 

 ber 13. 14 and 15. 



The organization, though but six months 

 old. has grown rapidly and its members are 

 full of enthusiasm, working hard lor its 

 success. They ha\e taken not only the large 

 ballroom but three large rooms adjoining. 

 There will be every encouragement both for 

 the amateur and commercial grower with 

 medals and prizes donated by many outside 

 organizations. Applications for entry may 

 be made to Mr. Charles Walker, 264 East

WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD 

 HORT. SOCIETY 



The regular montlily meeting of the above 

 society was held in Greenwich, July 10, and 

 was well attended, between lifty and sixty 

 members being present. One member elected 

 and three nominated for membership. 



It was decided to hold the Fall Flower 

 Show September 12-13-14, at the V. M. 

 C. A., Greenwich. Last year the show was 

 a success and the profits of $2,0U0 were di- 

 vided between the Port Chester and Green- 

 wich Hospitals. Again this year the show is 

 to be held for the benelit of the two hospi- 

 tals, and it is hoped a larger amount can be 

 raised for them. The garden clubs of Green- 

 wich, Rye, and Riverside are again uniting 

 with us for the show which is to be on more 

 elaborate lines than any previously held in 

 this vicinity. 



William H. Waite, of Rumson, N. J., 

 noted for his Dahlia culture, gave us a lec- 

 ture on "The Dahlia." His talk was thor- 

 oughly enjoyed by all and was one of the 

 most instructive we have heard for some 

 time. A rising vote of thanks was tendered 

 Mr.^ Waite for his splendid lecture. 



Very keen competition is being had for 

 the A. \. Pierson and J. H. Troy fund and 

 the society's medals, very good exhibits be- 

 ing shown at the meetings. George Baldwin 

 received lirst for a Cattleya Hardyanna 

 which was a splendid exhibit of this type. 

 Edwin Beckett also exhibited a Cattleya 

 Hardyanna receiving second. T. F. Chrys- 

 tal received third for a collection of Sweet 

 Peas. Other exhibits included a very choice 

 vase of Hollyhocks, "Xewport Pink," George 

 Hewitt; Caladium and Kcelreuteria panicu- 

 lata, W. D. Robertson ; vase of Japanese 

 Iris. Nicholas Vasiloff. For a collection of 

 vegetables John Andrews received first and 

 H. F. Bulpitt second.

Greenhouse Convincement 

 What, Therefore, Is It? 



Always, in whatever you buy, there are 

 two influencing factors. One — what the 

 makers claim for the thing they make, 

 the other — what the huyers of that thing 

 -ay. With most careful buyers, claims 

 .il»oiit what can be done, carry far less 

 cituvinceinent, than evidence of what has'' 

 been done. 



If you are one of the latter, we have as 

 convincement, greenhouses on the finest 

 estates from Maine to California. Green- 



houses, that were not merely built by us, 

 but i)ainstakingly designed to fit into the 

 landscaping. They successfully combine 

 the attractive with the thoroughly prac- 

 tical. 



For considerably over half a century, 

 we Irave been greenhouse specialists. Al- 

 ways, our Designing Department is at 

 your disposal. To our printed matter 

 you are most welcome. On your special 

 request only, will a representative call.
