THE VERY NEWEST ANI> QUICKEST METHOD OF DESTBOYINO WEEDS, 



GRASS AND OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WAI.KS, GUTTERS, 



TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and other growth wherever applied, 

 and Its effect on the ground prevents the growth of fresh ones fur a year and 

 thus siives a great deal of time and labor, as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away 

 of the weeds is required.

NEW HAVEN COUNTY HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



At the regular meeting of ihis so- 

 ciety last week a Gladiolus Sliow was 

 decided upon and it will be ^ivtii a; 

 the Carnegie Library building. West 

 Haven. The Iris Show and the Rose 

 Show have been such great successes 

 that there is not the slightest doubt 

 of the success of the Gladiolus Ex- 

 hibition. 



W. E. Davis, Jr., of Whitneyville, 

 advocated the establishment of a Rose 

 Garden in New Haven. The people 

 here should not be content to see Hart- 

 ford carrying off all the honors in this 

 respect. Mr. Davis said that if 

 the city could not spare the money 

 the only thing to do was to raise the 

 nioney by popular subscription. John 

 H. Murray, head gardener of the Yale 

 Botanical Gardens, thought that at 

 least ten thousand dollars would be 

 needed, because the mere preparation 

 of the soil would be a great expense. 

 Mr. Davis thought, howev.'^r. tliat if 

 $1,500 to $2,000 were raised, it would 

 be a beginning — and this beginning 

 would be an inspiration to others to 

 give. 



HOLYOKE AND NORTHAMPTON 



GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS' 



CLUB. 



The regular meeting was held July 

 11th at Bonnie Brae, Holyoke, the es- 

 tate of C. E. Mackintosh. George Strug- 

 nell has been in charge of these gar- 

 dens for several years and is well 

 known in this district for his all- 

 round ability. Members enjoyed a 

 stroll through the flower garden and 

 vegetable quarters, noting with satis- 

 faction the flourishing appearance of 

 the crops. A large cherry tree, laden 

 with luscious fruit came in for special 

 attention. 



D. J. Gallivan extended an invitation 

 to hold the annual picnic on his farm 

 at Smith's Perry. The offer was ac- 

 cepted, but the date depends on the 

 progress of the sweet corn, which is 

 an indispensable item for this occa- 

 sion. 



H. E. Downer read an essay on 

 "Herbaceous Perennials." and exhibit- 

 ed sprays of Schillea, Perry's White, 

 Thalictrum Fendleri and Pentstemon 

 Gloxinioides.
