NASSAU COUNTY HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The animal Dalilia Show of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was lield at 

 Pembroke Hall, Glen Cove, L. I., on Tuesday, 

 October 6. As far as a dahlia show went 

 it was a failure, as in this section dahlias 

 were so scarce that out of 14 classes there 

 were only 4 classes entered for. Vegetables 

 were especially good, Henry Gaut, gardener 

 to Mr. H. L. P'ratt, taking two firsts" for col- 

 lections. In one which was unlimited he 

 staged 80 varieties. There was a good dis- 

 play of outdoor flowers for a collection of 25 

 varieties and very close competition. In 

 roses the entries were not quite so numer- 

 ous, John W. Everitt, gardener to John T. 

 Pratt, taking the silver cup for collection of 

 outdoor roses, 12 varieties. 6 of each. In 

 talile decoration, it being limited to dahlias, 

 the entries wei'e bad, only two competitors, 

 whicli did not bring out anything so good 

 as I have seen when competition has been 

 keener.
