GLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 was held in Pembroke hall November 

 10. President Everett occupied the 

 chair. There was a good attendance, 

 though some of the most prominent 

 members had gone to the C. S. A. show 

 in New York. It is pleasing to note 

 that J. F. Johnston, one of the members, 

 was awarded a first prize at that show. 



The treasurer, E. J. Brown, read a 

 satisfactory report in connection with 

 the fall show. He said the drawings 

 were better this year than ever before, 

 which goes to show that the Glen Cove 

 public is yearly taking more interest in 

 the doings of the society. 



Vice-president J. Elmslie presented 

 President Everett with two cups, won at 

 the fall exhibition. One, presented by 

 Mrs. Smithers for a collection of out- 

 door mums, has to be won three times. 

 The other, presented by Mrs. H. L. 

 Pratt for a collection of fruit, was won 

 outright. Mr. Everett, before resuming 

 his chair, showed his appreciation in a 

 neat little speech. 



Eecording Secretary Gaut was pre- 

 sented with the Troy cup. This cup has 

 to be won three times before competi- 

 tion for it closes. 



As usual, there was a miniature show 

 at this meeting. Messrs. Pettrocia, 

 Fleishhaur, Keidenbach, Ador, Highton, 

 Cleres, Reul, Macdonald and Wilson each 

 received honorable mention for meri- 

 torious exhibits. 



In the points competition Mr. Wilson 

 staged three plants of Begonia Gloire de 

 Lorraine, which were awarded 95 points; 

 v. Cleres, vase of mums, 84%; P. Eeul, 

 vase of mums, 83^^; H. Gaut, lettuce, 

 77%. 



G. Gilder, of Glen Cove, and Wm. 

 Kissner were elected to active member- 

 ship. 



The judges for the montniy competi- 

 tion were Messrs. Wettlin, Holloway and 

 Elmslie. W. M. 



Lebanon, Pa. — The residence of Chris- 

 tian Yost was totally destroyed by fire 

 on the night of November 6. One of the 

 greenhouses was also wrecked and hun- 

 dreds of plants were ruined. The fire 

 was supposed to have originated in the 

 heating plant, which was located in the 

 ■basement of the dwelling house. There 

 was no insurance.
