 data grandiflora and Helianthus Dowel- 

 liana. In sweet peas Thos. Proctor,

 ably fine showing.

 ener to W. D. Sloane, and A. H. Win- 

 gett, gardener to Chas. Lanier, were 

 first in their respective classes. Mr.

MASSACHUSETTS HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



In quality and extent the exhibit of 

 Saturday, August 18, in Horticultural 

 Hall has seldom been equalled by this 

 society at this season. The blooms 

 were in \inusually .good condition and 

 seemed to bear out the oft repeated 

 assertion that "this has been a great 

 .summer for flowers." 



The Blue Hill Nurseries, and Robert 

 Cameron for the Harvard Botanic 

 Garden, had large collections of hardy 

 herbaceovis plants; asters in great 

 variety were shown by H. B. Watts, 

 Wm. Whitman, W. J. Clemson, J. O. 

 Kristenson, gardener; W. W. Rawson's 

 collection of dahlias included Jeannie 

 Charmel. Helen Charbet, a set of the 

 new Holland peony dahlias, and many 

 novelties in the cactus type. One of 

 the most notable exhibits was that of 

 gladioli by John Lewis Childs of Floral 

 Park. N. Y.. in which his new variety, 

 America, was prominent and received 

 much favorable comment, 'luere wa.s 

 a good showing of fruits and vege- 

 tables.
