The dale of the Boston Show which opened on Oc- 

 tober 30, was fully ten days too early, both cut blooms 

 and pot plants showing this. There were fewer speci- 

 men blooms than usual, the taste in Boston and vicinity 

 being more and more each year for medium-sized 

 flowers or sprays. Specimen plants were also fewer 

 than usual. On the other hand, the grotips were more 

 ntmterous than usual, entirely filling the main exhibi- 

 tion hall. Orchids were numerous and good. Single 

 chrysanthemums were in evidence everywhere ; these 

 and pompons are growing steadily in favor here. 



For twenty-five distinct blooms of Qirysanthemums, H. E. 

 Converse (J. F. Ray, gardener) was a good first with excellent 

 flowers of President Taft, R. F. Felton. Yellow Miller. Miss Clay 

 Flick, Pockett's Surprise, Tarrytown, Cheltoni, M. F. Plant, 

 Appleton, W. R. Brock, Mary Farnsworth, G. J. Bruzard, William 

 Tiu-ner (the finest flower in the hall), Reginald Vallis, Alice 

 Finch, Mrs. W. Duckham, F. E. Nash, Rose Pockett, Onunda, 

 Elberon, Gertrude Peers, H. E. Converse, Chrysolora and W. A. 

 Ethrington. Second, E. Townsend. 



Mr. Ray also led for twelve Japanese incurved and twelve re- 

 fle.xed. For twelve Japanese E. 0. Jordan (H. A. Abraham, gar- 

 dener) took first witli Glen Cove. Ramajio. ilrs. G. C. Kelly, 

 Mrs. H. Stevens, Pockett's Crimson, O. H. Kahn, F. T. New, 

 F. Quittenton, Mary Mason and Reginald Vallis. Second, A. 

 McKay, gardener to E. A. Clark. Messrs. Ray, McKay, Abraham, 

 Townsend and James Nicol took the bulk of the cut bloom 

 prizes. 



The best specimen plants came from J. S. Bailey. West Rox- 

 bury, Mass. (Wm. Watson, gardener). Mr. Watson's finest plants 

 were: Theo. O'Enguehardt. Louis Boehme and Mrs. Beckett. 



For six plants carrying si.x blooms each, James Marlborough, 

 gardener to Thos. E. Procter, Topsfield, Mass., won with excel- 

 lent plants of Wm. Turner. Mrs. G. C. Kelly, ilis. Duckham, 

 F. T. Quittenton, Marza and Nellie Pockett. The best twenty- 

 five commercial plants came from W. H. Elliott. These were 

 dwarf, needed no stakes and were capitally flowered. 



A large group of Terrace Hall, a yellow large flowered pom- 

 pon arranged with oak foliage, from N. H. Comley received a 

 silver medal. These also were unstaked. For the 150 feet group 

 of Clirysanthemums and foliage plants for private gardeners. 

 .Tames Marlborough led. followed by T. O. Hatfield, gardener to 

 Walter Hannewell. William Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J. Q. 

 Gardner, had the best group of flowering and foliage plants. 

 W. W. Edgar Co. had the finest commercial group of foliage 

 plants. The city of Boston staged an entrance group of foliage 

 plants, and Edward McMalkin one of flowering and foliage plants. 



William Thatcher took first for the best Orchid group from 

 three other competitors. Second, F. J. Oolansky; third, W. C. 

 Rust, gardener to Mrs. C. G. Weld. These same exhibitors and 

 J. T. Butterwalt captured the prizes for specimen Cattleyas, 

 Oncidiums and Cypripediums. 



C. H. Totty showed a fine collection of new single and pom- 

 pom Chrysanthemums, also Mrs. Shawyer rose, as did A. N. 

 Pierson, Ciomwell, Conn. Knight & Struck Co. had a table of 

 well-bloomed Ericas; E. G. Hill Co. secured a first-class certifi- 

 cate for their new pink Chrysanthemum Chieftain ; a similar 

 award went to Peter Fislier for his charming new flesh pink Car- 

 nation Alice. He also showed Gorgeous in fine shape. 



Alexander McKay, W. W. Edgar Co. and Geo. Barker, gardener 

 to A. F. Esterbrook. divided the prizes in the Begonia classes, 

 while M. Sullivan, gardener to U. Whitman, and Geo. Page, gar- 

 dener to Mrs. Frederick Ayer. took premiums in the palm classes. 



Mrs. J. Montgomery Sears showed a fine collection of new 

 single Chrysanthemums, also Camellia Japonica. F. D. Putnam 

 also made "a great show of pompons and single varieties. 



For twelve vegetables, prizes went to E. L. Lewis, gardener 

 to Col. F. Mason; F. W. Sargent and W. Warburton. 



The attendance at the exhibition fell lielow that of 

 previous years, due in some measure to the cutting out 

 of prizes for decorated tables and mantels, and the 

 leaving out of all fruit classes. 



An extensive fruit show opened in Horticultural Hall 

 November 12, known as the New England Fruit Show. 

 It was the largest of its kind ever held in Boston, and 

 attracted exhibitors and visitors from all parts of New 

 Ensfland.
