Bar Harbor Horticultural Society. 



The fifth annual ball of the above 

 society was held on the evening of 

 January 30th and in every way proved 

 a great success. The decorations are 

 always a feature of the event and 

 this year they surpassed anything pre- 

 viously seen, many of the gardeners 

 assisting. The roof and sides of the 

 hall were decorated with evergreens 

 to represent a pergola and in tlie cen- 

 ter of the hall a large fountain was 

 playing over colored lights. This was 

 a very attractive feature and was hand- 

 somely decorated with some fine cal- 

 las. The decorations on the stage car- 

 ried out by the Mt. Desert Nurseries 

 were extensive and beautiful. For- 

 sythias in full flower, masses of Ro- 

 man liyacinths, scarlet geraniums, 

 paper white narcissus and some su- 

 perb amaryllis all helped to make a 

 very fine display. 



This society is to be congratulated 

 upon the beautiful decorations, and we 

 understand that plans are being made 

 to have next year's display surpass 

 all its predecessors.
