CLUBS AND SOCIETIES 



NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY. 



An unusually well attended meeting 

 o£ this society was lield Jan. 27. Worlt 

 on the schedule for the June show 

 was the main business, and the offer 

 of many special prizes were received 

 from horticultural firms, including 

 the following: Joseph Break & Sons, 

 for tuberous begonias; J. M. Thor- 

 burn Co., vegetables; T. J. Grey Co.. 

 vegetables; James Carter Co., glox- 

 inias; Bobbink & Atkins, roses; A. 

 N. Pierson, roses; W. B. Scott, annual 

 plants. The members of the Newport 

 Garden Association and summer col- 

 ony are also contributing many liberal 

 prizes, which when added the the reg- 

 ular llrt of the Horticultural Society 

 will make a very attractive schedule. 

 This show, which is dated for June 24 

 and 25, will be held under the auspices 

 of the Newport Garden Association 

 and the Newport Horticultural So- 

 ciety as last year, and present in- 

 dications point to a much more exten- 

 sive display than conditions permitted 

 last year. An ideal place for hold- 

 ing the show is now almost assured. 

 A part of the estate of ex-Senator G. 

 P. Wetmore, on the corner of Belle- 

 vue and Le Roy avenues is the place 

 under consideration, and the Garden 

 Association have proiflised to provide 

 suitable protection for all classes of 

 exhibits. 



A. MacLellan, A. S. Meikle and 

 secretary Wm. Gray were appointed 

 a committee to work with members of 

 the Garden Association in making ar- 

 rangements for the show. 



At this meeting President MacKay 

 exhibited two vases of exceptionally 

 well grown stocks "Beauty of Nice" 

 to which a cultural certificate was 

 awarded.

 the society on January 23rd, Presi- 

 dent Huss exhibiting three plants: 

 one white, one pink, and the other a 

 rose color. Alfred Cebelius showed 

 six plants each of Cineraria grandi- 

 fiora and Cineraria Boddington, the 

 latter being cactus flowered, of a deli- 

 cate pink color. A first-class certifi- 

 cate was awarded to each exhibit. Mr. 

 Cebelius stated that the seed of the 

 cineraria was sown about the 20th of 

 July, and that they had been given 

 nothing but compost up to a few 

 weeks ago. when he commenced giv- 

 ing them liquid manure. 



President Huss exhibited ferns, 

 showing different stages of growth 

 from the time the seed first sprouts 

 and onward. The secretary read the 

 paper President Huss delivered in 

 New York City recently, when he ex- 

 hibited a miniature greenhouse show- 

 ing the various stages of growth of 

 ferns. Jvlr. "William H. MacKenzie ad- 

 vocated decorating with Primula mala- 

 coides and with white and pink Killar- 

 ney roses, stating that the combina- 

 tion is very pleasing.
