GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The Nassau County Horticultural So 

 eiety held its fourth annual exhibition 

 in Pembroke hall, Glen Cove, November 

 5 and G. The hall was tastefully deco- 

 rated and the exhibits effectively placed, 

 giving a good view from all sides. It 

 was one of the best exhibitions given by 

 the society, both financially and other- 

 wise. A special feature of the exhibi- 

 tion was two pieces of fretwork, by Mr. 

 Ingram, Oyster Bay, whudi received hon- 

 orable mention. J. 1\ II. Matz, Glen 

 Cove, had an elaborate ilower piece, in 

 the shape of a harp, standing four feet 

 high. The columns were composed of 

 pink roses and orchids, while the strings 

 were lily of the valley, and the base of 

 Easter lilies, which received a ccrtificat(? 

 of merit. James D. Coekcroft, of North - 

 port, sent for exhibition twenty-five 

 blooms of his new white carnation, Geor- 

 gia, which received a certificate of merit 

 an(l got a good deal of attention from 

 visitors. ]\Iusic was supplied each even 

 ing by Miller's orchestra. The judges 

 were George Hales, Seabright, N. J., 

 and Robert Angus, Tarrytown. Repre- 

 sentatives from several of the New York 

 seed houses were present. 



A few of the gardeners prominent 

 in former shows were missing this year. 

 The principal exhibitors and premium 

 winners were: A. ISleKenzie, gardener 

 to Percy Chubb; S. Trejjass, gardener to 

 .1. R. Maxwell; N'jilentinc Cleres, gar- 

 dener to F. S. Smithers; George Wil- 

 son, gardener to B. JS. Roslyn; Paul 

 Real, gardener to Walter Gibb; II. F, 

 Matz, J. Ingram; Henry Grant, gar- 

 dener to H. L. Pratt; F. Petroccia, and 

 Adolph Alius. 



POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. 



The fourteenth annual exhibition of 

 the Dutchess County Horticultural So- 

 ciety was held in the State armory, in 

 this city, on Thursday and Friday, Oc- 

 tober L'l) and 30. 



There were a large number of entries 

 in all classes and competition in some 

 of them was close, the scale of points 

 liaving to be resorted to in several in- 

 stances, noticeably in carnations. There 

 were not so many groups of ornamental 

 foliage plants as usual, but there were 

 enough to furnish a good setting for the 

 unusually large entry of carnations, 

 roses .and clirysantheimims. 



The list of awards follows:
