LOCAL SOCIETIES

The 24th annual exhibition of the 

 Tarrytown, N. V., Horticultural Society

 chrysanthemums harmonized with the Au-

 quality.

 ginning with the beautiful setting on the

 other flowers and decorative plants.

 exhibit by F. R. Pierson, of roses, including

BOSTON'S AUTUMN SHOW 



At the annual Fall show in Boston on 

 November 4 and 5, the display of cut 

 flowers and specimen plants was much 

 smaller than usual. Groups of chrysan- 

 themum plants arranged with foliage plants 

 and Autumn foliage were a leading fea- 

 ture. Harold Graham, superintendent to 

 Loren D. Towle of Newton, made a very 

 pleasing garden of chrysanthemums and 

 foliage plants, covering nearly one thousand 

 feet ; undisbudded plants were mainly used. 

 The same exhibit had the best specimen 

 blooms in the exhibition, both as to long 

 and short stems. 



James Marlborough of Topsfield, super- 

 intendent to Thomas E. Proctor, showed 

 some of his wonderfully grown English 

 Wniter flowering begonias. "Emily Cli- 

 bran" and "Orange King" were over four 

 feet in diameter. Peter Arnott, superin- 

 tendent to E. I. Webster, Chestnut Hill, 

 had a large and beautiful group in which 

 such Winter flowering begonias as "Rosa- 

 lind," "Exquisite," "Emily Clibran" and 

 others were largely used. 



Allen Jenkins. Iristhorpe Gardens, 

 Shrewsbury, led with twelve varieties of 

 vegetables. Miss M. R. Case of Weston 

 won the silver cup for groups of vegetables 

 and native fruits covering fifty square feet, 

 each arranged for effect. These contained 

 many unusual and interesting varieties.

The Most Greenhouse 

 for the Least Money 



That Is Practical 



BY the least nmnev. we mean the least that is consis- 

 tent with lastingness and the making of a happy, 

 healthy home for your plants. 



It is a house we have been building for years. 



A clean cut. thoroughly practical greenhouse, in which 

 the ornamental ttjuches and extra refinements, so to 

 speak, have been eliminated. 



Still, it is decidedly good looking, and will grow just as 

 many and just as fine quality of flowers as any house that 

 costs more. 



The times have made so many folks want to strip things 

 for the running, as it were, that they quickly buy this 

 Practical Purpose house, when they would not our 

 regular one with its curved eave and other features. 



Thinking you might feel soinething the same way. here 

 it is. Glad to send you fullest of particulars, or one of 

 us will come and talk it over with you.
