brought up the question agitating many 

 growers concerning the dumping of 

 Dutch bulbs in this country for aujction 

 purposes and, after some discussion, res- 

 olutions were unanimously adopted con- 

 demaatory of the practice and recom- 

 mending growers not, to buy any Dutch 

 bulbs next season unless the growers 

 abroad and the Dutch Bulb Growers ' As- 

 sociation eliminated this unfair practice; 

 other clubs and horticultural organiza- 

 tions were urged to take similar action. 

 There was a fine display on the exhibits 

 table. The Leominster Floral Co. had a 

 grand vase of Golden Glow mums, 

 awarded a cultural certificate. Woll- 

 rath & Sons received a certificate of 

 merit for a handsome new Bex begonia. 

 They also showed a splendid lot of 

 gloxinias; also Saintpaulia ionantha, 

 grown from leaf cuttings taken in Feb- 

 ruary; ferns in variety; Bex begonias, 

 and cyclamens in various sizes up to 

 grand plants in 10-inch pots, awarded a 

 cultural certificate. 



Speaking of cyclamens, Mr. Wollrath 

 said that large plants were from seed 

 sown in August, 1919. Plants ready for 

 6-ineh pots were sown last March. Firm 

 potting is essential to successful cycla- 

 men culture and for the last shifts they 

 used a compost consisting of equal parts 

 of heavy loam, well rotted manure and 

 leaf-mold, with some bone meal and 

 sand added. He did not believe in open- 

 frame culture; plants did better in 

 housee and were more under control. 

 Front ventilators were closed on hot 

 days and opened wide at night. Glass 

 now had no shade on it, but cheesecloth 

 broke the sun during the hottest part of 

 the day. 



W. H. Golby showed some fine roses, 

 including Pilgrim, Golden Ophelia, 

 which he spoke highly of; Cru- 

 sader, Mme. Butterfly and a good white 

 Ophelia sport, W. N. Craig showed a 

 number of vaaee of Gladiolus primuli- 

 nus in variety, produced from seed and 

 bulblets, and spoke of the great value 

 of the latter for producing late flowers. 

 The W. W. Edgar Co. received honorable 

 mention for Chrysanthemum Early 

 Frost. This firm also had a fine collec- 

 tioa ef cyclamens, begonias, ferns and 

 other well grown florists' stock. 



The lecturer of the evening was 

 Samnel Knowles, a poultry expert, and 

 for two hours he held the undivided at- 

 tention of a deeply interested audience 

 as he discussed poultry, the moulting 

 period, how to select the best egg pro- 

 dneers, how to feed them, how to combat

insect pests and diseases, the best type 

 of house to use for them and the other 

 details of successful poultry keeping. 

 An ideal dry mash consisted of 100 

 pounds each of ground oats, gluten, 

 flour middlings, bran, hominy meal and 

 meat scraps. How to prepare birds for 

 exhibition was shown by specimens sup- 

 plied by W. N. Craig. Numerous queries 

 were answered and one of the most 

 profitable and entertaining meetings the 



club ever held did not close nntil 11 

 p. m., both commercial and private grow- 

 ers staying until the end. 



Various Notes. 



The bituminous coal situation is bet- 

 ter and those willing to pay prevailing 

 high prices are likely to secure an am- 

 ple supply. Some small growers, how- 

 ever, will close their establiakBteats.
