Current Comment 



Business last weeii was rather quiet. 

 The Shriners' convention was held and 

 about 25,000 visitors were in town, but it 

 did not help the trade much. Almost 

 every business house in the central part 

 of the city was decorated with flags and 

 bunting, and some good windows were to 

 be seen. Along the route of the parade 

 the streets were illuminated with electric 

 signs and lights galore. Thursday night, 

 at the Armory, the big ball was held, and 

 a few flowers were sold, but not enough 

 to think about. Almost all of the florists 

 had displays of some kind for the occa- 

 sion, and some were first-class. 



Flowers of all kinds are getting to be 

 quite plentiful. A lot of garden flowers 

 are coming in, such as phlox, stocks, 

 snapdragons, sweet peas, etc. Roses and 

 carnations are getting smaller all the 

 time. 



We have about finished planting out, 

 and the boys are getting ready to plant 

 mums and carnations in the greenhouses. 

 Carnations in the fields are doing nicely.

GLEN COVE. N. Y. 



The Nassau County Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its regular monthly meeting 

 June 9. Vice-president James Elmslie 

 occupied the chair in the absence of the 

 president, John W. Everett. Final ar- 

 rangements were made for the summer 

 show to be held in Pembroke hall, June 

 23. This is the first time the society has 

 held a summer show, and everything pos- 

 sible is being done to make it a success 

 and an annual feature. Harry Turner, 

 of Castle Gould, Wm. Millar, of Oyster 

 Bay, and W. Marshall, of Glen Cove, 

 were appointed to judge the show. Pre- 

 liminaries were discussed regarding the 

 dahlia and chrysanthemum shows. Mr. 

 Dean offered a silver cup for the best 

 collection of dahlias shown on long 

 stems, the idea being to encourage the 

 cultivation of the dahlia as a cut flower. 

 The fall exhibition is to be held in the 

 last week of October, instead of the first 

 week of November, as formerly. J. H. 

 Roslyn was elected to active member- 

 ship. 



The judges of the monthly exhibits, 

 which were of a high order, wre Messrs. 

 Duthie, Garrett and Holloway. The 

 awards of points were as follows: Paul 

 Reul, on lettuce, 91%; H. Gaut, for 

 peonies, 88%; V. Cleres, for tuberous- 

 rooted begonias, 88%; G. Wilson, for 

 outdoor roses, 86%. G. Wilson and P.
