GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The regular meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society, held on 

 the evening of September 13, was the 

 best attended meeting of the season, 

 and a most interesting session, A let- 

 ter was received from Henry Gibson, 

 tendering his resignation as secretary 

 of the society, owing to the fact that 

 he was about to move to a "point too 

 remote from Glen Cove for him to carry 

 out the duties of his office. The resig- 

 nation was laid on the table and Ernest 

 Westlake was appointed secretary pro- 

 tempore for the remainder of the year. 

 During his term of office Mr. Gibson 

 proved to be a genuine hustler and a 

 most capable official, and we deeply 

 regret losing his services. He carries 

 the best wishes of all his fellow mem- 

 bers to his new location. 



The judges appointed by President 

 Macdonald were James Gladstone, Harry 

 Goodband and John Ingraham, who 

 turned in the following report: Musk- 

 melon, Joseph Robinson, first; six ears 

 of corn, Frank Petroccia, first; twenty- 

 five lima beans, Frank Petroccia, first; 

 six ears of corn, Honeysweet, thanks of 

 the society to Frank Petroccia. 



The final schedule for the chrysanthe- 

 mum show was read and adopted. It 

 contains fifty-three classes, covering a 

 considerable variety of exhibits, and 

 should bring out many entries. In all 

 but a few classes the competition is 

 open to all. Final arrangements were 

 made foruthe dahlia show, to be held 

 October 5, and James Gladstone was 

 appointed manager of the show, with 

 Thomas Twigg as assistant. 



An essay on "Mushrooms and Their 

 Culture" was read by Joseph Robin- 

 son. It proved to be most interesting 

 and full of practical information. Mr. 

 Robinson describedthe various types of 

 edible fungi and also told of many dis- 

 tinguishing characteristics of the pois- 

 onous varieties. 



Two essays were received from the 

 National Association of Gardeners, one 

 on "The Diabroticas," by Robert Sell, 

 of Texas, and the other on "The Ma- 

 ranoctua," by Percey Snow, of Penn- 

 sylvania. Both were favorably received,

Omaha, Neb.— A suit for $10,000
