lir.iored by a visit of Mayor Arthur B. 

 Sf mour, of Orange, who complimented 

 t! ' society upon the excellence of the 

 «^aibit8. 



The society is proud of the fact that 

 fi^o of its members carried off impor- 

 tant prizes at the national orchid show, 

 ^'lich was held in Boston recently. A 

 standing vote of thanks was extended 

 to them for the courage they displayed 

 in going to Boston and cleaning up the 

 poards. Henry Hurrell responded, say- 

 ing: '<i don't see why it is necessary 

 *'''■ us to go to Boston for an orchid 

 s^'ow. Why can't we have one here in 

 f*ew York or New Jersey? There is a 

 tremendous loss realized in shipping the 



flowers for so great a distance." Joseph 

 A. Manda responded in like manner, and 

 said that "there was no reason why the 

 idea could not be successfully carried 

 out. New Jersey did itself proud; 

 ninety-five per cent of the exhibitors 

 were Jerseymen and ninety per cent of 

 the prizes were carried off by the grow- 

 ers from this state." 



John J. Dervan, gardener for A. C. 

 von Gaasbeck, read an instructive pa- 

 per on "Growing Roses Under Glass," 

 which was well received. He is a most 

 successful rose grower. He recommend- 

 ed propagating about January 15, using 

 heel cuttings for that purpose, and, 

 when .rooted, using a mixture of one 

 part manure and eight parts loam, put- 

 ting them in 2-inch pots. At the next 

 shift he places them in 3-inch pots, 

 using a mixture of one part manure to 

 six parts loam. Finally he puts them in 

 4-inch pots, using one part manure to 

 four parts loam. He advised planting 

 about June 15, on raised benches, in 

 one part cow manure to three of good, 

 fresh loam, filling the benches two- 

 thirds full and pressing it down firmly. 

 Before planting in the benches, he ad- 

 vised giving the houses a thorough 

 cleaning and a good fumigation with 

 hydrocyanic acid gas, which kills all in- 

 sect life.

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Last week marked one of the most 

 disagreeable in the history of June, with 

 cool, rainy, drizzling weather. In fact, 

 this has been the tale to be .told re- 

 garding the last five or six weeks. This 

 being the season of commencements, 

 however, there was more activity than 

 would otherwise have been the case. A 

 few weddings and receptions, with a 

 good demand for funeral work, all con- 

 tributed to rounding out a good week. 



The unseasonable weather has been 

 injurious to bedding stock, and there is 

 a good demand for plants to replace 

 those previously set out, which have 

 failed to start off well, but the local 

 supply of good, sturdy plants is nearly 

 exhausted. One of the noticeable im- 

 provements this season has been the - 

 large number of rose bushes that have *
