GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The Nassau County Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular monthly meeting 

 at the usual time and place. There was 

 a good attendance, with President Mac- 

 kenzie in the chair. Four new members 

 were elected and two applications for 

 membership were received. There was a 

 good display of flowers at the exhibit. 

 Exhibitors: A. Mackenzie, Valentine 

 Cleres, H. Matz, Felix Mense and J. 

 O'Brien. Judges: Messrs. Harrison, 

 Ashworth and Everett. Special premiums 

 received : For fall show, from Mrs. 

 Dana, $20 in books; Eickards Bros., $10; 

 W. H. Brown, $5. One dollar was offered 

 by B. Davis for one best rose at the 

 June meeting. 



A committee was appointed to express 

 the sympathy of the society to the be- 

 reaved family of John Bingham, de- 



ceased. The society will feel the loss of 

 Mr. Bingham very much. 



Secretary J. F. Johnson read a most 

 interesting essay on "The Best Time to 

 Plant Evergreens." It was well dis- 

 cussed by several members and proved 

 very instructive. 



James Holloway presented the society 

 with a handsome ballot box. H. Matz 

 exhibited a splendid white seedling car- 

 nation. J. W. E. 



Allegheny, P.\. — While Mr. and Mrs. 

 Julius Ludwig were out walking Sun- 

 day, May 1'2, they were attracted by the 

 strains of a brass band, and on tracing 

 the music to its source they found them- 

 selves at the home of Herman Hein, who 

 was celebrating his thirty-fourth birth- 

 day in old German style and gave them 

 a cordial welcome to share in the merry- 

 making. 



BALTIMORE. 



The Market 



The steady cool weather we are ex- 

 periencing has handicapped business 

 somewhat. The mercury last week 

 reached 50 degrees, with rain. This kind 

 of weather at this time of the year is 

 unusual and many times the question 

 is asked by the customer, "Can I plant 

 this now?" No doubt in one way this 

 unseasonable weather is helping the 

 florists, as the first-class trade generally 

 leaves the city for the summer months, 

 and as soon as the hot spell arrives so- 

 ciety will say good-by and there will 

 be a sudden fall off in the cut flower 

 line. 



The pot plants are taken home and 

 planted in the cold ground and nearly 

 all look any way but encouraging. Many 

 times the florists are discouraged by the 

 complaints. The nurserymen had a fair 

 season, but what was planted has made 

 little headway. Millions of buds are 

 ready to break forth at the first few true 

 old time summer days. Many veterans' 

 Memorial day was no doubt a disap- 

 pointment, as a great many depend on 

 the home garden for blooms. 



The indoor blooms are plentiful, such 

 as roses and carnations. Our growers 

 offered extra carnations at 50 cents a 

 dozen, while the street boys sold theirs 

 for 25 cents a dozen and roses at 35 

 cents. Sweet peas are plentiful. Lily 

 of the valley is short in supply. Bulbous 

 stock is difting away fast and decorative 

 plants are little more plentiful. Greens 

 of all kinds are enough to meet the de- 

 mands. The seed counter trade has 

 dropped off and night work is over. 



Variotjs Notes. 



Isaac H. Moss, of Govanstowu, has 

 installed a two horse-power gasoline en- 

 gine for pumping manure water in his 

 new rose houses. 



F. G. Burger is making improvetnents 

 at his store. The painters are doing 

 everything to make it look like new. The 

 well-kept lawn adds to its beauty. 



There is quite a demand for Golden 

 Bedder coleus this year.
