OYSTER BAY HORT. SOCIETY. 
The regular meeting of the O.vster Bay 
Horticultural Society was held in Fire- 
men's Hall June 27. 
Vice-])resident Frank Gale occupied the 
chair. ^^'e heard, with regret, that our 
president was on the sick list, but expect 
he will be on deck again in a short tiuu'. 
It being Rose Night and a smoker held 
in- connection with it there was a large 
number of members present, and the fumi- 
gating was well done. 
The exhibits were excellent, especially 
the collection of IS varieties of sweet peas 
from Jas. Duckliam, superintendent to E. F. 
Whitne.v; also. Cedar Hill Nurseries showed 
some very fine Delphiniums, Campanulas 
and Philadelphus Virginale, the latter a 
new variety, by far the best of the Phila- 
delphus family' that I have seen, it being 
literally covered with full centered white 
flowers. 
The following gentlemen were selected to 
judge tlie cxhiliits: Messrs. J. Everett, Thos. 
Turgg and Cliarles Bigger. Their decisions 
were as follows: 
Best collection hybrid perpetual roses, 6 
varieties, fi of each, A. Walker was awarded

A U-BAR GREENHOUSE 
GROW-UP SUGGESTION 
WHY \vait to Iniilil the larger house at the top, when you can 
now builtl the smaller one at the bottom, and enlarge it 
later? 
That's our suggestion. 
To whicli let us add, U-Bar greenhouses are distinctly ditifercnt 
from others. Different in construction, different in results. 
W'e are the only ones wlio can build them. Uncle Sam's Patent 
Office so declare it. 
How U-Bar Greenhouses differ is told in the catalog. Send for 
it. Or send for us. Or botli.
