The Florists' Review 





^^,.*[-.*-*^- 







Apbil 20. 1916. 



GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The regular meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticutural Society was held 

 in Pembroke hall, April 12, at 7 o 'clock. 

 The summer and autumn monthly 

 meetings will be held at this hour, in- 

 stead of in the afternoon, as has been 

 the custom during the winter months. 

 In the absence of President MacDon- 

 ald, Vice-president Joseph Adler pre- 

 sided. A letter was received from 

 Harry Jones, who has been secretary of 

 the society for the last year and a half, 

 stating that, as he had moved to a 

 point some distance from Glen Cove, he 

 felt it advisable to resign his office. 

 Mr. Jones has been a hard worker and 

 efficient official, and it was with sincere 

 regret that his resignation was ac* 

 cepted. Henry Gibson, of Roslyh 

 Heights, was elected secretary for the 

 remainder of the year. 



A letter was received from the In- 

 ternational Garden Club, requesting the 

 cooperation of the society in the open- 

 air flower show to be given by the 

 Garden Club in June. Offers of two 

 prizes were received for our coming 

 rose show, one for twelve peonies and 

 the other for vegetables. An essay on 

 "Estate Management and College Edu- 

 cation," by M. Smith, of New York, 

 was received from the National Asso- 

 ciation of Gardeners. It was well re- 

 ceived and a lively discussion followed. 

 Samuel Trepass read a most interesting 

 paper on "Peaches Under Glass." He 

 went into his subject in a thorough 

 manner and gave much practical infor- 

 matim. At the conclusion of the es- 

 say/Vr. Trepass answered a namber of 

 questions pertaining to fruit growing. 

 He exhibited a specimen of a grafted 

 peach tree and some samples of fruit- 

 ing and non-fruiting wood of the peach. 



Schedules for the tulip show and the 

 rose show, which had been drawn by 

 the executive committee, were read and 

 adopted. It was decided to hold the 

 tulip show during the week of May 14, 

 the exact date to be announced later, 

 and to hold the rose show June 14. 

 Henry Gaut, G«orge Gilder and Thomas 

 Twigg were appointed judges of the 

 evening's exhibits and made the fol- 

 lowing awards: Lettuce, Harry Good- 

 band, first; twelve roses, John Everitt, 

 first; twelve sweet peas, James McCar- 

 thy, first; Spencer sweet peas, exhibited 

 by Peter McLeod, certificate of cul- 

 ture; violets, exhibited by William 

 Noonan, honorable mention.
