book. The stock offered Is comprehensive In 

 variety and in age, ranging from large sizes 

 down to 1-year plants, both seedling and grafted. 

 "For many years," says the company, "we have 

 led in introducing and testing, under California 

 conditions, the most promising foreign and other 

 new varieties of fruit." 



E. Or. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. — "Our Three 

 Specialties, Roses, Carnations and Mums," a 28- 

 page, illustrated catalogue, offering some of the 

 best brand-new varieties and a discriminative 

 selection of the well-tried standard sorts. Under 

 the heading, "The Rose in 1017 — the Outlook 

 for the Year," an opinion is given as to which 

 varieties are likely to be most profitable com- 

 mercially. With reference to chrysanthemums 

 the company says, "We are offering to the trade 

 this year six seedlings which have been tested 

 for three years, and which we feel sure will be 

 found valuable additions to our commercial varie- 

 ties." Half a dozen of the Wells-Pockett-Totty 

 novelty mums also are listed. 



- Beichardt Sc Schulte Co., Inc., Houston, Tex. — 

 "Eighteenth Farm and Garden Annual," an illus- 

 trated catalogue of seeds, bulbs, plants, nursery 

 stock, tools, poultry and goldfish supplies, in- 

 secticides, etc.; ninety-six pages and cover. 

 Contains various tables for planters and sowers, 

 stating quantities, distances, dates, etc.; also 

 some spraying formulas and a table entitled 

 "Spraying Guide for Insect Pests and Fungous 

 Biseases." In the nursery stock, nut trees, tig 

 trees and citrus fruits are prominent. 



C. S. Quick, Berkeley, Cal. — A 20-page cata- 

 logue of dahlias, carefully classified, with pic- 

 tures of four varieties, two of which are novelties 

 of Mr. Quick's origination. "I grow eleven 

 types and 650 varieties," he says, "more than 

 600 of which are listed in this catalogue." It 

 is a neat booklet, printed in brown on cream- 

 tinted paper. 



J. J, Wilson Seed Co., Inc., Newark, N. J. — 

 "Wilson's Seed Annual for 1917," an Illustrated 

 catalogue, with concise cultural directions at the 

 head of each section; thirty-six pages and cover. 

 The list of grass seeds is comprehensive and 

 includes an unusually large number of mixtures 

 for special purposes. An emphatic warning is 

 given as to the scarcity of seed beans. 



Wingr Seed Co., Mechanicsburg, O. — An illus- 

 trated, 104-page catalogue, bound in a unique 

 colored cover. Special attention is given to 

 forage crops. The company expresses pride in 

 Its large and choice collections of gladioli. Irises, 

 dahlias and peonies. "Unquestionably all seeds- 

 men," says the book, "will sell out on beans 

 before the season is over, and if you want any 

 of this seed at ail we advise placing early 

 orders." Several tables, indicating quantities, 

 etc., are interspersed through the lists. 



GLEN COVE, N, Y. 



The regular meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 in Pembroke hall, Glen Cove, January 

 10, with President McCarthy in the 

 chair. E. J. Brown, chairman of the 

 dinner committee, reported progress, and 

 it is hoped that there will be a good turn- 

 out at our annual feast, which will be 

 held January 23 at the Oriental hotel. 

 Glen Cove, at 6:30 p. m. Andrew Ken- 

 nedy, of New Y^rk, and Edward Harris, 

 of Glen Cove, were elected members, 

 and one petition was received. 



The president appointed Eobert Jones, 

 James Gladstone and Samuel J. Trepesa 

 to act as judges for the exhibits, and 

 their decisions were as follows: John 

 F. Johnson, first for Primula malacoides; 

 Harry Goodband, first for three poin- 

 settias and first for twelve sprays of 

 freesias; special mention to James 

 Duthie for a pot of Primula malacoides 

 Townsendii. Mr. Duthie, who is the 

 originator of this valuable type of mala- 

 coides, upon the request of the judges 

 gave an interesting talk on the history 

 of this plant. Samuel J. Trepess read an 

 instructive essay entitled "The Gar- 

 dener and His Profession," by W. N. 

 Craig, of Brookline, Mass. This essay 

 was thoroughly enjoyed and a letter of 

 thanks was ordered sent to the author.
