Society Meeting. 



The monthly meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 at the Glen Cove Greenhouses on Septem- 

 ber 6. The attendance was large; in 

 fact, the largest yet. The membership 

 roll steadily increases. At the last meet- 

 ing one new member was elected and 

 three proposed. President Harrison oc- 

 cupied the chair. Preparations for the 

 coming November flower show were 

 pushed forward. 



Mr. Rickard's prize was awarded to 

 Jas. Halloway, gardener to the Pratt es- 

 tate, for gladioli. The same gentleman 

 has generously given a prize for the Oc- 

 tober meeting for the twelve best carna- 

 tions arranged for effect, while his 

 brother has promised a prize for the best 

 vase of dahlias arranged for effect. 



The exhibits were large and varied, 

 their histories being listened to with 

 much interest. Mr. Halloway 's collection 

 of apples, peaches and plums looked ex- 

 ceedingly tempting on the table; after- 

 wards they proved very appetizing. The 

 same gentleman showed a branch of 

 Chionanthus Virginica in fruit, a thing 

 not seen every day. 



Chas. Lenker had a beautiful assort- 

 ment of choice outdoor-grown roses, dah- 

 lias, hydrangeas and hardy perennial 

 phlox, while Mr. Mense, of Glen Cove, 

 exhibited five tea roses and a vase of del- 

 phiniums. John F. Johnston brought 

 cactus dahlias and a collection of seed 

 cones of pines, firs and spruces.

ABUNDANCE H" ntmm\ mitt 



A carnation that stands alone for 

 blooming, as a glance at the above 

 photo will show. No other sort can 

 compare with it. Blooming profusely 

 from fall until thrown out in summer. 

 Color, pure white, a good site, well 

 built flower of the shape of Scott. 

 Stems in fall 14 to 16 inches, stretcbtng 

 to 2, 2}i and 8 feet In winter and 

 spring, verv stiff without being rigid. 

 Is a fine keeper and shipper, flowers 

 sent to Cuba laxt year kept in perfect 

 condition a week sftfr arrival Plant 

 has the slim, wiry growth of McGowan 

 in fall but loses this chaiacter as 



winter and spring advance, as it makes a rapid, strong and vigorous growth. It makes a 

 large bunch of flberous roots, which accounis for Its wonderful recuperative power, and 

 makes It extri mely easy to handle: it can be transplanted with perfect safety, plants stand- 

 ing up like soldiers in a couple of days after planting. It makes absolutely no grass at base 

 of plants for every shoot runs quickly np to flower. A thoroughly business Carnation. Is a 

 profuse propagator and a sure and easy rooter. Has never been subject to any disease. 

 There is nothing in the way of a Carnation easier to grow, but beware of overfeeding, as it 

 won't stand it: flowers will barbt if fed hishly; 8 parts of well-rofed sod or rich loam, with 

 1 part well-rotted m «nure is a 1 it requires, no other dressing. This is a Carnation that 

 returns dollars for cents to the grower, for while he grows Abundance he will always get 

 an abundance.

 rotation. 



Prloe for well>rooted Onttlng'S, flO.OO per 100; $75.00 per lOOO; 500 at
