ELBERON, N. J. 



At the regular meeting of the Elberon 

 Horticultural Society, December 3, great 

 interest was taken in a new seedling car- 

 nation exhibited by Mr. Tierney, of High- 

 lands of Navesink. After being judged 

 in an able manner by Messrs. Grieb and 

 Bauer it was awarded a certificate of 

 merit, scoring ninety points. Mr. Tier- 

 ney named it Mrs. Eobert Hartshorne in 

 honor of his employer 's wife. There was 

 also exhibited by Peter Murray a beau- 

 tiful Phoenix Eoebelenii, scoring ninety 

 points. Carnations exhibited by A. Bauer 

 scored ninety points. Stevia exhibited 

 by A. Grieb scored eighty-five points and 

 violets exhibited by Fred Dettlinger 

 scored eighty-five, points. A committee 

 was appointed by the society to meet the 

 board of education of Oakhurst to ar- 

 range to beautify the school grounds 

 with shrubbery and whatever is required 

 to put the grounds in good condition. 

 The committee is Messrs. Eobertson,

 marks by Herbert Hall the society ad-

NEWARK, N. Y. 



Charles E. Clark started in a small 

 way in the greenhouse business thirteen 

 years ago. His first house was only 18x 

 24 feet. Now he is the proprietor of the 

 Wallowdale greenhouses and fruit farm, 

 and his success is assured by the fact that 

 he finds a ready market at Buffalo, Roch- 

 ester, Boston and many other cities. 



Under his 5,000 feet of glass he propa- 

 gates and grows the new and up-to-date 

 varieties, his specialties being chrysan- 

 themums, carnations and novelties in ge- 

 raniums. Mr. Clark does not go in for 

 a great variety of stock, preferring to 

 confine himself mainly to certain spe- 

 cialties, and with these he has been emi- 

 nently successful. In the spring he util- 

 izes his greenhouses for growing early 

 vegetables, and in flowers, vegetables and 

 fruit he is considered quite an expert. 



The greenhouses are of modern con- 

 struction and this year Mr. Clark made 

 some extensive changes and installed a 

 new heating plant.
