LENOX HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
There was a good number of members 
present at the monthly meeting of the 
above society, which was held June 14. An 
alteration in the schedule of the forthcom- 
ing show was adopted, Class 40, to read: 
Any bi-color, instead of any marbled or 
bottled. A paper entitled "Horticulture As 
a Profession from the Stand] oint of the 
Gardener" was read and well discussed, In 
spite of an early date and a very late sea- 
son, there is every promise of a good show 
on June 2S and 29. The Garden Club of 
America are making this the occasion of 
their visit to Lenox. .Many valuable cups 
and prizes are offered for Sweet Peas, etc., 
and a special feature will be a non-com- 
petitive display of Orchids from A. N. 
Cooley, Esq., of Pittsfield, Mass. A large 
floor space has been reserved for this ex- 
hibit and those who saw Mr. Cooley °s dis- 
play at the last fall show and his first 
prize group at the New York spring show, 
should make a point of seeing this display. 
Mr. Cooley is constantly adding many new 
and rare varieties to his already extensive 
collection, and if not already so. it will not 
be long before it will take its place beside 
any private collection in the country.

NASSAU COUNTY HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIETY. 
The regular meeting of the Nassau Coun- 
ty Horticultural Society, which was held 
in Glen Cove on Wednesday evening, June 
14, was very well attended. President 
.lames McDonald presided and two new 
members were elected. Secretary Gibson 
read a large number of letters offering 
prizes for our coming autumn exhibition. 
Our prize list is already a large one. and 
the schedules which the executive commit- 
tee are now working on are sure to be 
very complete. 
The exhibits of the evening were judged 
by Messrs. George Gilder, Joseph Adler and 
Thomas Twigg, and they awarded first 
prize to Harry Goodband for a vase of 
How ciing shrub, and to James .McCarthy 
for 12 pots of peas. It was decided to 
hold a Sweet Pea exhibition in July and 
the executive committee was instructed to 
draw up a schedule and to make full ar- 
rangements for same. 
Mr. James i)e Yyner, entomologist of 
Mount Vernon, gave a lecture on "The 
Hickory Park Beetle and the Means of ( on- 
trolling Same." The lecture was full of 
practical information and proved to be very 
interesting and instructive. In connection 
witli his talk, ilr. De Vyner exhibited 
sonic hickory wood which had been infested 
with the beetle, and also some specimens 
of the insect in its various stages of life, 
from the larvae to the adult. At the con 
elusion of the lecture, the lecturer was ques 
tioiicd at considerable length in regard to 
various poftrts which he brought out. 
The essay received from the National 
Association of Gardeners was "The Prepa- 
ration of Ground For. and Genera] Treat- 
ment of Hardy Perennials," by 11. E. Hon 
nor, Massachusetts. The paper was ably 
written and was most favorably received 
by the members present.

The Ideal Greenhouse for the 
Idealized Garden Setting 
pERHAPS this litis is a bit idealized 
itself, but let us explain what we 
have in mind, and see if after all we are 
not fully warranted in the state 
ment. To spend freely both 
thought and money on 
your garden, in making 
it quite the choicest, 
cjuite the most charm 
ingly interesting of 
gardens, and then as- 
sociate with it a 
green house not 
keyed up to it, is 
to say the least, 
regrettable. Con- 
sistency, you must 
admit, "is a jew- 
el." U-Bar green- 
houses, because of 
their wonderful 
bubble-1 ike c o n- 
struction; their 
consistency in design; and rare care 
in execution, are fittingly fit for the ideal- 
ized garden setting. It is not a boast- 
ful statement to claim that no 
other greenhouse can equal 
the U-Bar; because no 
other greenhouse con- 
struction is constructed 
like the U-Bar. If 
none are like it, you 
can't compare i t 
irith others. If you 
can't compare it- 
then it becomes a 
house unique un- 
to itself. If it's 
this top-notch in 
green housedom 
you want — then 
you want the U* 
Bar. Send for 
catalog. Or send 
for us. Or both. 
Tkere is no insistently dominating note in this 
delightful garden of Miss E. Jenkins, at Balti- 
more, Md. What charm has such harmony.
