]y. All they want is a light covering. 

 Outdoors two or three inches extra 

 covering makes no difference, but under 

 glass, with artificial conditions, it is 

 iliflferent. I would advise reducing tho 

 water supply. Let tlio benches dry out 

 well between waterings and keep the 



surface soil stirred. This will tend to 

 sweeten, as well as warm it. Persevere 

 in this treatment and I think your 

 damping off will disappear. Do not 

 keep tlu' house too liot and close. Give 

 ventilation on e\erv favorable oppor-

The aiiiiual f.all show of the .Nassau 

 • dunty Horticultural Society was ludd 

 in Pembroke hall. October L'7 and L's. 

 ( hrysanthemums. of course, were I lie 

 main :it triiction, but great interest was 

 taken by the visitors in the line displav 

 of outdoor flowers and single mums. 

 The Last named are certainly growing 

 in fa\'or every year. 



.\ surprise to many was the fine ex 

 hibit of |)ot-grown dahlias made by II. 

 .Matz. of this jilace; s]dendid plants, 

 with ]ierfect and larg(< blooms, showing 

 plainly the great future of dahlias 

 grown in |)ots. 



(Jhrysiinthemums wvvv extra fine and 

 conijietition was keen; in f.act. it is 

 doubtful whether better blooms will be 

 seen at any other show this season. 



The judges were W. Turner, 1. 1".

 afternoon and evening, the musiidans 

 being stationed in a beautifully deco

 the intervals between the selections by 

 the band, an or(diestra of ten jdeces 

 furnished music in the .lapanese gar

 annex to Convention hall. 



The musical jirograin f(jr each even

One thing that made the show par-
