Exhibition of the Horticultural Society 
of New York. 
The second annual exhibition of the New 
York Horticultural Society was held in 
the Museum building of the Botanical 
Garden, Bronx Park, May 14-15. Many fine 
specimens were shown in all classes of 
seasonable plants and flowers. The $50 
novelty prize around which much interest 
centered, was captured by the beautiful 
new “Boston” fern Nephrolepus Piersonii. 
This is a much handsomer decorative fern 
than the usual type of N. exaltata now so 
widely grown. There were fine collections 
of wild flowers and flowering shrubs. The 
Bedford Agassiz Association had over 75 
species of wild flowers attractively staged. 
Perhaps the oddest feature of this collec¬ 
tion and one scarcely recognized was a 
vase of white oak blooms. Among the 
flowering shrubs the lovely crab-apple, 
Pyrus malus Parkmanni, was most con¬ 
spicuous. Two other varieties, P. Tor- 
ingo and spectaoilis were noticeable for 
pleasing shades of pink. Other shrub 
blooms well adapted for cutting were the 
bladder nut, Staphylea colchica, Azalea 
Vaseyi and Spiraea arguta. Fine collec¬ 
tions of foliage and stove plants, orchids 
and hardy Azaleas were staged and com¬ 
petition was keen among exhibitors. Cacti 
and Agaves in great number also added 
to the interest of the exhibition. The only 
rose shown was a blooming plant of the 
Farquhar rose, a hybrid between Crim¬ 
son Rambler and R. Wichuraiana. The 
flowers were borne in neat clusters, the 
color a bright fresh pink. The work of 
this society is much appreciated, and it is 
now in a very prosperous condition. 
Fruit Prospects in Illinois. 
The fruit prospects here are bright, with 
the exception of peaches and possibly 
raspberries and blackberries. There will 
be a few seedling peaches, but the budded 
fruit was all killed except in orchards 
situated on high ground. Most varieties 
of apples blossomed freely, and the weath¬ 
er has been favorable for their develop¬ 
ment. The foliage in orchards cultivated 
*md well cared for is unusually fine. Cank¬ 
er worms have been at work but they do 
not seem to be as numerous here as they 
were last year. Curculios seem to be more 
numerous than usual in the apple trees, 
and we are troubled somewhat with the 
Peach-twig borer. There is a prospect for 
an abundance of pears. This being a light 
sandy soil pears seem to be very much at 
home. Bartlett. Kieffer and Duchess are 
grown here most. Plums, apricots and 
quinces are starting nicely. Strawberries 
were injured last Summer by the drought 
some plantations being lost entirely. 
Where they were well cared for they came 
through with from one-half to two-thirds 
of a stand. What plants survived are load¬ 
ed with blossoms and partly-developed ber¬ 
ries; the plants being thin in the rows. If 
there is sufficient rainfall the berries will 
be fine. Berries will begin to ripen in a 
week or 10 days. Prices will no doubt be 
high. Oats were sown early and are look¬ 
ing well. Wheat and rye promise a 
good crop. Most farmers have their corn 
planted. Chinch bugs are very numerous. 
Montgomery Co., Ill. E. m. miller. 
BUSINESS BITS. 
We have received a little folder showing 
the full line of gasoline engines, station- 
aries, portables, pumps and pumping out¬ 
fits, hoisters and sawing outfits made by 
the Charter Gas Engine Co., Sterling, Ill. 
The Charter is one of the standard gaso¬ 
line engines for farm work. A number of 
R. N.-Y. readers are using them and they 
never fail to give satisfaction. 
The attention of readers is directed to 
the celebrated line of hay presses made 
by P. K. Dederick’s Sons of Albany, N. Y. 
These people might be termed the fathers 
of the hay pressing business. They hav« 
always been the recognized leaders in the 
manufacture of goods for iliese purposes. 
All interested in hay or any other kinds of 
baling should write for the Dederick cata¬ 
logue. 
A good dog-power is invaluable in count¬ 
less ways as a. labor and money saver. The 
Enterprise dog power's take the lead fur 
the best product at a moderate price. 
Thousands who are using them speak of 
the great amount of power they produce 
at a remarkably easy degree of elevation 
and slow walk of the animal. Descriptive 
circulars and special inducements in price 
will be sent free to all writing the Harder 
Mfg. Co., Cobleskill, N. Y. 
In buying a pump, like buying a horse 
or cow, it is most desirable to get a good 
one on the start. F. E. Myers &. Bro., of 
Ashland, O., have been making pumps for 
all purposes for many years. Before you 
buy that new pump get their illustrated 
booklets on pumps. They manufacture 
other articles that may interest you—hay 
tools, store ladders and the celebrated 
Myers “Stayon” flexible door hangers. 
Write for circulars of any of these things. 
Great Sale of Jerseys.—On May 30-31 
there will be an auction sale of imported 
Jersey cattle at the farm of T. S. Cooper, 
Coopersburg, Pa. Mr. Cooper recently 
brought from the Island of Jersey what is 
called the grandest lot that has ever yet 
been imported, and these will be sold by 
Peter C. Kellogg, who is well qualified to 
give the reasons why blood from the Isl¬ 
and is needed in our American Jersey 
herds. Some of these reasons are power¬ 
fully stated in a little pamphlet entitled 
The Story of a Hunt in Jersey. Write for 
it to Peter C. Kellogg, 107 John St., New 
York. It is very interesting. 
Some of the greatest labor-saving inven¬ 
tions especially for the farmer are the 
simplest. An invention of this sort is an 
oiler for windmills. It not only does away 
with climbing to the top of the mill in all 
kinds of weather, but it enables the mill 
to be oiled regularly—a duty that is oftep 
neglected when the farmer knows that 
every time he does it he risks his life. The 
Burke-Bollmeyer oiler is placed on the top 
of the mill. By pulling a wire, pockets are 
opened and the oil flows to every part of 
the mill requiring it. Just enough oil flows 
out—you can’t use too much if you a-y. 
Write to the Burke-Bollmeyer Oiler Co., 
Wauseon, O., for illustrated folder which 
describes the oiler.

You merely reach on side of tube 
And turn a little lever.

For with the “Junior” by his side 
His way seems fair and bright.
