The Florists' Review 



May 22, 1913. 



> GLEN COVE, L. I. 



The monthly meeting of the Nassau 

 County Horticultural Society was held 

 May 14 at Pembroke hall, President 

 E. J. Brown- presiding. Plans for com- 

 ing shows were discussed and several 

 offers of cash prizes were received. 

 John Lewis Childs offered a silver cup 

 for the best exhibit of gladioli for the 

 school children's contest. The offer 

 was accepted. M. C. Ebel, of the Na- 

 tional Association of Gardeners, offered 

 a silver and glass vase for the most 

 meritorious exhibit by a member of his 

 association. George Hutton, of Glen 

 Cove, and William Noonan, of Locust 

 Valley, were proposed for membership 

 in the society, and Henry Cliffe re- 

 signed from active membership. Mr. 

 Cliffe was superintendent of Meudon, 

 the W. D. Guthrie estate, and is now 

 superintendent of parks at Bridgeport, 

 Conn. 



A letter from Herbert L. Pratt, presi- 

 dent of the Nassau Country Club, was 

 read, stating that the club house was at 

 the disposal of the society for the an- 

 nual rose show, which is to be held 

 June 17. 



The monthly exhibit was «specially 

 interesting, with some beautiful Dar- 

 win tulips in variety. The judges, 

 John F. Johnson and J. Everett, made 

 awards as follows: First, to Alexander 

 Mackenzie for twelve Darwin tulips; 

 to Henry Gaut for gladioli; to J. Mc- 

 Carthy for lettuce; honorable mention 

 to Valentine Cleres for Picotee tulips; 

 to William Grey for Darwin tulips; 

 to Valentine Cleres for General Carlo 

 daisy; cultural certificate to F. O. John- 

 son for tulips. Next month's com- 

 petition will be for twelve peonies, 

 twelve hybrid or tea roses, and best 

 basket of fruit. 



Battle Creek, Mich. — S. W. Coggan 

 has taken over the stock of the Post 

 Tavern Floral Parlor, conducted by 

 Leo Aldrich, who closed the shop re- 

 cently. 



Buffalo, N. Y.— William Stroh, of 

 Stroh 's Flower Shop, will serve as judge 

 of the flower exhibit at the festival to 

 be given in Perry, N. Y., August 19 and 

 20, by the ladies of the Methodist Epis- 

 copal church. 



Barberton, O. — It is understood that 

 O. C. Barber, proprietor of Anadean 

 Farm, has postponed his building plans 

 only for one year. It was his purpose 

 to erect an addition to each of his two 

 ranges this season, but local conditions 

 were not to his liking and no contracts 

 were let, even though figures had 

 been obtained. The work will, it is 

 thought, be taken up next winter. The 

 plans call for a further investment of 

 about $75,000 up to the point where 

 the new houses will be ready for the 

 stock.

THE popularity of AdvanBeJ(jeatii^U'tiDg Apparatus^ 

 among the "up-to-the-minute" florists and 

 growers is due to the superiority of construe tion, 

 mechanical design, workmanship and material, to- 

 gether with ease of operation. These features, up- 

 held by an absolute guarantee, make it the best, 

 cheapest and most reliable machine on the market. 

 It is without a doubt the machine you should buy.
