The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 was held March 7, President Harrison 

 in the chair. The attendance of mem- 

 bers was large, making a record. Five 

 new members were elected to active, and 

 seven nominated to active membership; 

 also two to honorary membership. 



The chief business was the drafting 

 of a schedule for the coming fall flower 

 show. It is the earnest endeavor of the 

 society to make this exhibition a thor- 

 ough success. Some good prizes are al- 

 ready forthcoming. The silver cup, by 

 Mrs. Percy Chubb, has been placed uj>on 

 carnations, calling for fifty carnations 

 in six standard varieties, arranged for 

 effect. Generous gifts as prizes have 

 also been given by Mr. and Mrs. Max- 

 well, Glen Cove; "Weber & Don and 

 Stumpp & Walter Co., New York, 



The floral exhibits by members at the 

 meeting were many, diverse and highly 

 interesting, showing throughout superb 

 cultivation, Alexander Mackenzie staged 

 a lovely table containing a vase of mixed 

 carnations, a bunch of Princess of Wales 

 violets, a beautiful pan of white hya- 

 cinths, a vase of roses, pots of cyclamen. 

 Primula stellata, P, Forbesii and a gor- 

 geous display of Primula obconica, all 

 being exceedingly well grown and of 

 beautiful colors; also some fine clusters 

 of greenhouse tomatoes, Stirling Castle 

 being the variety. S. J. Trepass staged 

 an equally beautiful table of cut flowers, 

 flowering and foliage plants. He had a 

 fine vase of mixed carnations; also pots 

 of cyclamen, cineraria. Primula obcon- 

 ica and a grand pan of yellow tulips. 

 H. F. Meyers had on his table some 

 good carnations, a nice flowering bush 

 of white lilac, and some superb spikes 

 of antirrhinums. H. Matz showed a 

 well grown pan of Asparagus Sprengeri 

 and F. Mense a lovely bunch of 100 

 Princess of Wales violets. 



The Mackenzie prize for the best 

 flowering plant was won by T. Harrison 

 with a basket of Begonia Gloire de Lor- 

 raine, which was the admiration of all 

 present. 



8. J. Trepass' new seedling carnation, 

 Maxwellton, a grand white with Lawson 

 blood, received the society's certificate 

 of merit, scoring eighty-seven and a half 

 points. F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, 

 N. Y., showed a vase of their grand new 

 carnation, Winsor. J. F. J. 



Albert Lea, Minn. — P. Clausen & 

 Son report business good and the outlet 

 for stock constantly increasing. They 

 will this spring build two more houses, 

 each 28x110, for carnations, which are 

 their specialty, but they also grow roses 

 and a general line of cut flowers and 

 l>lants for the retail trade.

Now is the Time 



TO SEND FOR OUR ESTIMATES and decide on your contemplated 

 building work. An early order is early delivered, and early deliveries afford 

 you much more time for painting ana careful erecting. If you wait until 

 later, there will be "others" who have waited too long, and everyone then 

 wants their work " at once."

PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage 

 of the same, must be possessed with i;ood judgment and are generally suc- 

 cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of 

 wooden gutters, which wer e on ly 5 years old, and replaced the same with 6ocx) feet of 

 the GARLAND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. 



Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of 

 the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the
