pointed: Richard Eichling, Paul Abele 

 and Ed Baker. The announcement of 

 the death, March 30, of H. A. Despom- 

 mier, who was a charter member of 

 the society, was received with much 

 sorrow by all those present. 



J. A. Xewsham exhibited a gorgeous 

 collection of orchids, and Richard Eich- 

 ling, foreman for U. J. Virgin, showed 

 a fine collection of Spanish iris. A vote 

 of thanks was extended to both exhib- 

 itors for their excellent display. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Cook, successor to M. Cook's 

 original establishment, recently made 

 some highly successful experiments in 

 growing cucumbers under glass. The 

 vines are strong and have been bear- 

 ing since the middle of January, the 

 fruits averaging a length of from four- 

 teen to eighteen inches, and from six to 

 seven and one-half inches in circum- 

 ference. They are of a light green 

 color, and thin seeded. He intends to 



follow up his present achievements and 

 plant several houses for next season. 



April 19 one of the heaviest hail 

 storms seen here in years passed over 

 the city, causing considerable damage 

 to several florists, among them Buchner 

 & Kraak, Henry Cook, Reinhard Cook 

 and Abele Bros. The latter establish- 

 ment suflfered slightly and the rest of 

 the florists practically escaped unhurt. 

 No report of any damage done to the 

 nearby truck farms has been received.
