NORTH SHORE (ILL.) EXHIBITION. 



The strip of land along the shore 

 of Lake Michigan, north of Chicago, is 

 commonly known as The North Shore 

 and contains some of the finest as well 

 as the largest estates in America. Here 

 the landscape gardener has everything 

 to assist him and finds nature always 

 ready to respond to his efforts. Among 

 the North Shore towns. Lake Forest 

 has been a leader for many years and 

 its exhibits of flowers and vegetables 

 under the auspices of The North Shore 

 Horticultural Society, have been not- 

 able events. On July 22, occurred the 

 eighth annual exhibit, held at Durand 

 Art Institute, Lake Forest. 111., partic- 

 ipated in also by the Garden Club of 

 Illinois, of which Mrs. Tiffany Blake 

 of Lake Forest is president and which 

 has for its object the cultivation of 

 garden flowers. 



The exhibit this year was held 

 earlier than usual, to the advantage of 

 the floral display, but not quite so 

 favorable to the vegetable collection. 

 Occupying the center of the main hall 

 were two large groups of decorative 

 plants from the conservatories of L. 

 F. Swift and A. B. Dick, and the stage 

 was filled with collections of fine gladi- 

 oli, while other large collections were 

 shown on the main floor. The gold 

 medal offered by A. E. Kunderd, for 

 the largest and best collection was won 

 by Mrs. E. S. Moore, Lake Forest, IIU 

 gard. D. McNaughton. The sweet pea 

 section was remarkably well filled for 

 a July show, one collection of 32 vari- 

 eties all Spencer type, including the 

 new Edith Taylor, was grown by 

 Knut Lofving, gardener for D. M. Cum- 

 mings. Vaughan's Seed Store showed 

 phlox and delphiniums. L. F. Swift 

 easily won first prize on house ferns 

 which were exceptionally good. A 

 table of six gloxinias by Stanley Field 

 showed plants splendidly grown and 

 flowers of exquisite coloring. The col- 

 lection of baskets of flowers numbered 

 several dozen and showed much taste 

 and skill in arrangement, loose effects 

 prevailing. In vegetables the displays 

 were good for July though not equal 

 to those of former years. An admis- 

 sion of 50 cents was charged in the 

 afternoon and 25 cents in the evening.
