TONEERS, N. Y. 



The Yonkers Horticultural Society 

 held its regular monthly meeting at 

 Hollywood Inn October 4, President 

 Howard Nichols presiding. The exec- 

 utive committee reported progress on 

 the fall show. It will be held in the 

 armory, October 30 to November 1, and 

 will surpass any flower show previously 

 held in Yonkers. Two beautiful ster- 

 ling silver cups, each valued at $50, 

 will be awarded, one for specimen bush 

 chrysanthemum and the other for the 

 best twenty-four blooms in eight va- 

 rieties. The armory is a fine, big build- 

 ing, so the exhibitors will have an op- 

 portunity to display their exhibits to 

 the best advantage. It is hopfed the 

 competition will be strong in bfl the 

 classes, as the committee has been busy 

 all season, and has the work well ad- 

 vanced. It now remains for the ex- 

 hibitors to come forward and put up a 

 good fight for the cups, medals and 

 other valuable prizes. 



BETUBBING BAY TBEES. 



Will you kindly tell me when is the 



proper time to trim bay trees and when 



they should be changed into a larger 



tub? What kind of soil should I use? 



W. E. H. 



The best time to prune bays, Laurus 

 nobilis, is when the growths are well 

 matured. It is too late now, this sea- 

 son, to do any pruning. Retubbing 

 should be done in early spring. Shake 

 the ball out as carefully as possible. 

 Pick it over with a sharp-pointed 

 stick, in order to remove as much as 

 possible of the old, worn-out soil. In 

 Belgium a peaty soil, dark in color, is 

 used. This looks moist even when 

 quite dry and many plants suffer on 

 this account. A peat soil is not neces- 

 sary to produce good bay trees. Se- 

 lect a good fibrous loam; add to this 

 some old, well decayed cow manure, 

 not over one-sixth of the whole, and 

 some sharp sand, and as the plants are 

 "t to be retubbed frequently, add 

 ne bone meal; a 4-inch potful to 

 each bushel of loam is sufficient. 

 When well established, you can feed 

 the plants frequently with liquid 

 manure during the growing season.
