TheWeckly Florists' Review. 



Fbbbuabt 22, 1912. 



OLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The monthly meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 at Pembroke hall February 14, with 

 President J. F. Johnson in the chair. 



A circular was read from the New. 

 York Florists' Club, containing a call 

 for delegates to attend a conference to 

 be held at Ithaca, N. Y., in reference 

 to forming a state organization. After 

 some discussion, J. F. Johnson and Jas. 

 Duthie were appointed to attend the 

 meeting. 



Walter McKinley was elected to 

 active membership and there was one 

 application. 



The judges of the exhibits were J. 

 Ingram, J. McQueen and A. McKendrie. 

 J. Everett was awarded a cultural cer- 

 tificate for a fine specimen gardenia 

 plant and honorable mention for a vase 

 of gardenia blooms. Frank Patroccia 

 received honorable mention for two 

 plants of Primula malacoides. The so- 

 ciety 's prizes were awarded as follows: 

 Six gardenias, first, G. Augey; twelve 

 mushrooms, first, J. Everett; twenty- 

 five sprays of freesia, first, J. Mac- 

 Donald. 



It was decided to hold the fall show 

 October 29 and 30, and that the profits 

 be given to the Nassau hospital, at 

 Mineola, L. I. 



Mrs. E. M. Townsend, of Oyster Bay, 

 offered a. silver cup for the best collec- 

 tion of outdoor roses, to be won three 

 times and to be competed for at the 

 fall show. 



S. Trepess and E. Brown were ap- 

 pointed to represent the society at the 

 annual dinner of the Yonkers Horti- 

 cultural Society. 



The exhibits for next meeting will 

 be three cauliflowers, twelve mixed 

 roses and one cineraria. 



The society held an enjoyable euchre 

 and dance February 15, with about 200 

 present. It was a great success finan- 

 cially and otherwise and seems likely 

 to become an annual affair. J. M. 



Borne, N. T. — The Humphrey Floral 

 Co. is buying some new pink carna- 

 tions, being of the opinion that En- 

 chantress can not continue to give 

 such satisfactory results as formerly. 

 The business is conducted by the two 

 Misses Humphrey, who are thorough 

 artists and clever growers.
