The Florists^ Review 



June 1, 1916. 



GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



Society Tulip Show. 



The tulip show given by the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society on the 

 evening of May 19, at Glen Cove, N. Y., 

 brought forth a magnificent display of 

 these popular flowers. Although Darwin 

 tulips were in the majority, such types 

 as cottage, breeder and picotee were 

 well represented. Almost every class 

 was keenly contested and the judges, 

 James Bell, George Wilson and James 

 Duthie, had a rather difficult task in 

 making their decisions. John F. John- 

 stone, Ernest Westlake and Henry Gaut 

 were the principal prize-winners.
