nenry A. Ureer, 714 chestnut St., Phlladelphra, Pa. 



GUSN COVE, N. Y. 



The sixth annual banquet of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 was held at the Oriental hotel, in this 

 town, January 25, and to say it was a 

 great success is putting it mildly. The 

 tables were decorated with fine speci- 

 men cyclamen and primula plants, car- 

 nations and other cut flowers. Con- 

 spicuous among the cut flowers was a 

 fine vase of C. H. Totty's new carna- 

 tion, Wodenethe. 



The banquet commenced at 6:30 

 p. m., with seventy-five guests present, 

 among whom were representatives of 

 the trade and local press, representa- 

 tives of neighboring societies, gentle- 

 men of the vicinity who are interested 

 in horticulture, and members of the 

 Nassau society. The Eev. J. "W. Gam- 

 mock, who is a life member of the 

 society, delivered an excellent address 

 on the improvement of Glen Cove. 



President J. F. Johnson, on behalf 

 of the society, presented to S. J. Tre- 

 pess, past president, a diamond scarf- 

 pin as a token of appreciation of the 

 valuable service he gave the society 

 during his term as president. After- 

 ward, Mr. Johnson, in a few well- 

 chosen words, welcomed the guests and 

 started the feast. 



After the menu had been done jus- 

 tice to. President Johnson introduced 

 Arthur Herrington as the toastmaster 

 of the evening, and anyone who has 

 heard Mr. Herrington preside on such 

 an occasion knows what an able toast- 

 master he is. His good, sensible talks 

 and witty remarks kept the boys in 

 great humor all the evening.
