NASSAU COUNTY HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



The annual Dahlia Show of the Nas- 

 sau County Horticultural Society held 

 at Glen Cove, N. Y., Oct. 5th, was a 

 most decided success from both a 

 financial and a horticultural view- 

 point. The exhibits were of the very 

 highest quality and in almost all 

 classes competition was very keen. 

 The Dreer cup which tor collection of 

 dahlias, 25 varieties, brought forth 

 four exhibitors, each with a top-notch 

 collection. The judges finally award- 

 ed the prize to W. R. Coe (Joseph 

 Robinson, gard.), with W. J. Mathie- 

 son (James Kirby, gard.), 2nd. The 



E. M. Townsend cup for collection of 

 outdoor roses was won by Harold 

 Pratt (F. O. Johnson, gard.), John 

 Pratt (John W. Everitt, gard.), 2nd.

 basket for collection of outdoor 

 flowers was awarded to George D.

 2nd. The F. S. Smithey cup for gladi- 

 oli was captured by Mrs. Darlington 

 (P. W. Popp, gard.). 



The class for collection of vege- 

 tables was one of the most attractive 

 features. There were three exhibitors 

 and so evenly matched that in the 

 final scoring only eight points sepa- 

 rated the winner from the second man, 

 while the third entry was only twenty 

 points behind. Percey Chubb (Robert 

 Jones, gard.) was 1st and W. R. Coe, 

 2nd. The Hitchings cup for outdoor 

 fruit was won by Herbert Pratt (Henry 

 Gaut, gard.) with a superb collection.

 tive feature. There were seven entries

 man Miller in the order named.
