ISLIP GARDEN CLUB. 

 The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Islip Garden Club was held in the 

 Town Hall on Friday evening. June 

 4th. about twenty-five members being 

 present with President Lickman in the 

 chair. 



A vote of thanks was extended to 

 Mrs. John B. Stanchfield for the use of 

 her grounds for demonstration on 

 spraying and the home mixing of Bor- 

 deaux spray, given by the Suffolk 

 County Farm Bureau in connection 

 with the Garden Club. After the or- 

 dinary business of the evening was 

 over Mr. Willmirth Haff was called 

 upon to make the presentation of the 

 silver cups given by the club to the 

 winners of the highest points for the 

 monthly exhibits during the year, the 

 first prize going to Robert Lickman 

 and the second to Frank Luma. 



The judges for the evening were 

 Henry Rowlinson, William McCollom 

 and Joseph Wood, and the following 

 awards were made: 6 tomatoes, first, 

 Robert Lickman. 2nd. Carl Landolt; 

 25 radishes. 1st. Prank Luma; 2nd, 

 Andrew Johnson; 2 cauliflower, 1st, 



John Krupa; 12 iris, 1st, John Krupa; 

 2nd. John Machacek; 12. Aquilegia. 1st, 

 Frank Luma. 2nd, John Machacek; 6 

 peonies. 1st John JIachacek. 



A special prize was also awarded to 

 Carl Landolt for an exhibition of cu- 

 cumbers. 



THE AFRICAN ANCHUSA. 

 The African Anchusa is not a 

 drowsy flower, and unlike those 

 sleepy lieads is most satisfactory for 

 cutting for the house. It keeps fresh 

 for a long time in water where the 

 stems grow and the buds open. In 

 color it is like the Chinese Larkspur, 

 a rich, bright blue. The single floret 

 resembles a forgetmenot with a white 

 eye. In the garden it is not so tall as 

 the Dropmore or Opal varieties of 

 Anchusa. We have not yet wintered 

 it so do not know how hardy it may 

 prove. Neither do we yet know how 

 this wild flower from Africa will be 

 changed by cultivation. We shall 

 gather its seeds so as to experiment 

 with them. We have it in the house 

 in a dull blue vase with large heads of 

 white candytuft to show off its beauty. 

 It would also be pretty arranged with 



GROWING PRIMROSES 



Primroses can be grown in a 

 cold frame from now on, and it is a 

 good plan to plunge them in fine coal 

 ashes. Give them an overhead spray- 

 ing each afternoon if time can be 

 found. Plants from early sowings 

 should now be in 2y2 or 3-lnch pots. 

 They like a compost comprising equal 

 parts of leaf mold and loam with a 

 little sand. Give the young plants 

 plenty of light, but shade them some- 

 what from the direct rays of the sun. 

 Tou can still sow primrose saed. The 

 plants will not be as fine for the holi- 

 day season as those from early sow- 

 ings, but you can have them in good 

 shape for later sales, and even at 

 Christmas time there is often a good 

 market tor small plants in 4-Inch pots 

 because that is a convenient size for 

 market. A moist heat is desirable In 

 order to induce quick germination of 

 primrose seed. Wbea the plants are 

 large enough, prick out and pot up, 

 and when shading these plants b« 

 careful not to overdo the business, for 

 otherwise you may have spindling, 

 weak plants.
