Parentage, HARLOWARDEN and ENCHANTRESS 



Ab a medium-priced " red " it has a very promising future 



From the Florex Gardens, North Wales, Pa., where this has been grown on trial, we 

 have a letter under date of Nov. 24, 1911, saying: " So far we like the new seedling very 

 much; the color of the flower is fine and the size good. The stems are stiff and the 

 number of blooms to a plant shows it will be a good producer." 



£. J. Weaver, of Ronke^Pa., who has been growing five hundred on trial, writes us 

 under date of Jan. 8, 1912: y'So^iar this season this variety has produced more than 

 double the blooms Beacon ha^v/pl^iii£d in the same house, and I feel sure it will maintain 

 its lead the balance of the season, ft is of a much brighter color than Beacon, flower as 

 large, with a good stem, and a calyx that practically does not split, not averaging more 

 than one split flower a week from the five hundred plants."

The monthly meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 March 13 at Pembroke hall. There 

 were interesting exhibits in the monthly 

 competition, for which S. J. Trepess, A, 

 Mackenzie and J. Halloway acted as 

 judges. Their decisions were as fol- 

 lows: 



Vase of roses, John W. Everett, gar- 

 dener for J. T. Pratt, first; J. Mc- 

 Donald, gardener for E. Queen, and 

 Joseph Hobinson, gardener for Colgate 

 Hoyt, honorable mention. Cauliflower, 

 J. W. Everett, first. Henry Gaut, gar- 

 dener for H. L. Pratt, received a cer- 

 tificate of culture for lettuce and a 

 certificate of merit for antirrhinums. 

 Scott Bros, received a certificate of 

 merit for William Eccles carnations, 

 named for the gardener of Mortimer L. 

 Schiflf, of Oyster Bay. 



Several offers of prizes to be com- 

 peted for at the annual show were re- 

 ceived. It was decided that the silver 

 cup donated by Mrs. E. M. Townsend, 

 of Oyster Bay, be competed for at the 

 dahlia show for outdoor roses, twelve 

 varieties, six of each. 



It was decided that the Nassau Horti- 

 cultural Society should become a mem- 

 ber of the State Floral Society. M. C. 

 Ebel, of Madison, N. J., was made an 

 active member instead of being an hon- 

 orary member. 



Next month's exhibit will comprise 

 one pot of calceolaria, vase outdoor 

 flowering shrubs and six tomatoes. 



Middletown, N. Y.— On Tuesday, Feb- 

 ruary 13, Ed. A. Lorentz celebrated his 

 twenty-fifth anniversary as a fiorist on

 ishing business and his greenhouses are 

 now among the finest in the county. All

 crete and iron. He has a handsome of- 

 fice, with metallic inside walls and ceil- 

 ings. He grows a miscellaneous stock,
