OEEENWICH, CONN. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Westchester and Fairfield Horticultural 

 Society was held in Doran's hall, April 

 11, with President Robert Williamson 

 in the chair. Considering the inclem- 

 ent weather, a large number of mem- 

 bers were present to hear the lecture 

 given by Professor Jarvis, of Storrs 

 College, on the "Diseases of Fruit 

 Trees." which proved to be practical 

 and instructive. A large number of 

 pictures were shown, to illustrate the 

 methods of pruning, planting, etc., 

 recommended for the reclaiming of old 

 orchards, so long neglected in this 

 state. Professor Jarvis answered in 

 an able manner the many questions put 

 to him. A hearty vote of thanks was 

 accorded him for his address, which 

 proved to be one of the best of the 

 season. 



On account of the International Show 

 in New York, where a large number 

 of the members were exhibiting, the 

 exhibits at the meeting were not so 

 much in evidence as usual. The awards 

 were as follows : 



Thomas Ryan, coltaral certificate for splendid 

 lot of sweet peas. 



James Forster, cultural certificate for fine spee- 

 imen marguerite. 



A. Wynne, cultural certificate for Schizanttana 

 WlsetonenslB. 



Tbomas Ryan, honorable mention for Hydran- 

 gea Hortensla. 



P. W. Popp, honorable mention for Chrysan- 

 themum Seven Oaks. This chrysanthemum, 

 which has previously been recognized by the so- 

 ciety, is a golden yellow and a continuous bloomer 

 and should be of great commercial value. 



Several new members were elected. 



O. A. H. 



Masslllon, O.— The N. E. Beck Floral 

 Co. has purchased a new farm of sixty- 

 one acres, with fine buildings, directly 

 opposite its old farm. It is adding 

 two greenhouses to its range, which will 

 be the last to be built there. It will 

 start a range on th^ new farm for 

 growing cut flowers and plants, and 

 will then use the old place for growing 

 vegetables. The company reports good 

 business. It escaped the flood entirely. 



Fort Madison, la. — Henry Bendlege, 

 a vegetable grower at the corner of 

 Eighth and Lincoln streets, suffered a 

 heavy loss in a recent storm of wind 

 and rain. The damage to his green- 

 houses amounted to about $1,000, aside 

 from the injury to his stock. Half of 

 one house was torn away and thrown 

 violently against a house a few yards 

 distant. It is estimated that 3,500 

 square feet of glass were destroyed. 

 Karl Boll also lost about seventy-five 

 panes of glass.
