EXHIBITION AT HORTICULTURAL

A rare courtesy which was greatly 

 appreciated by the Convention visi- 

 tors as well as by the home people 

 was the magnificent free floral exhi- 

 bition given by the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society in compliment 

 to the Society of American Florists. 

 .Ml three halls in Horticultural Build- 

 ing were filled to repletion. The ex- 

 hibition lasted from Tuesday until 

 Thursday night. More about it next 

 week. 



PERSONAL. 



John N. May, Summit, N. J., is now 

 able to be about and last Thursday, 

 with the aid of crutches was able to 

 wallc to the oflRce for the first time in 

 three months, the first six weeks of 

 which he was confined to his bedroom. 

 His trouble is phlebitis. In a cordial 

 letter to the editor of Horticulture he 

 expresses his great regret at not being 

 able to get to the Boston Convention 

 and meet the many old friends congre- 

 gated there. 



In our notes on the gladiolus exhibi- 

 tion at Boston last week, the award of 

 honorable mention to C. W. Brown of 

 Ashland, Mass., for the new Kunderd 

 gladiolus Mrs. O. W. Halliday was in- 

 advertently omitted. This is a fine 

 pink flower with cream throat.
