The Weekly Florists' Review. 



May 23, 1912. 



OLEN COVE, N. Y. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Nassau County Horticultural Society 

 was held at Pembroke hall on the eve- 

 ning of May 8, with President Johnston 

 in the chair. L. Hubbard, of this town, 

 was elected to active membership. 



Communications were received, offer- 

 ing special prizes for the fall show, from 

 Kohler Bros., A. G. Hodenpyle, D. Burns 

 and others. 



Messrs. Everett, Johnson and Eob- 

 ertson were the judges of the evening's 

 exhibits and their decisions were as 

 follows: Three lettuces, V. Cleres, first; 

 three cauliflowers, V. Cleres, first; six 

 tomatoes, V. Cleres, first; exhibition let- 

 tuce, r. Pettroccia, thanks of society; 

 mushrooms, F. Pettroccia; radishes, J. 

 Marmorile, thanks of society; sweet 

 peas, J. MacDonald, honorable mention. 



An amendment to the by-laws was 

 adopted. This provides for the admis- 

 sion, to associate membership, of clergy, 

 school teachers and members of the 

 local press. 



The executive committee submitted a 

 schedule for exhibits by the pupils of 

 the public school at the dahlia show, 

 and the society appropriated $25 for 

 the purpose. 



Arthur Herrington has promised to 

 speak at the June meeting on some sub- 

 ject connected with outdoor horticul- 

 ture. All members who possibly can 

 ought to hear this interesting speaker. 



The society's prizes for next meeting 

 will be for twelve hardy roses, twelve 

 strawberries and one vase of German 

 iris, mixed. J, M. 



FISE AT BAITNEBS ELK. 



The North Carolina Evergreen Co., 

 of Banners Elk, N. C, was so unfor- 

 tunate as to lose, by fire, its entire 

 outfit of storage and' packing houses, 

 with all merchandise, on the evening 

 of May 14. When it is considered 

 that this establishment was one of the 

 largest in the world for the handling 

 of galax, ferns and other such stock, 

 and that the owners carried practi- 

 cally no insurance, the seriousness of 

 the disaster will readily be appreci- 

 ated. However, the firm has deter- 

 mined to begin rebuilding at once, so 

 as to be ready to take care of the fall 

 and winter trade and serve its patrons 

 without any interruption.
