NORTH SHORE HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



The North Shore Horticultural So- 

 ciety, Manchester, Mass., plans to 

 break ground in the near future for the 

 erectjon of a permanent building. The 

 concrete structure will have a floor 

 space of 60 by 80 feet, with several 

 removable partitions for dividing the 

 main floor into several small commit- 

 tee rooms. 



William Till, head gardener on the 

 estate of T. Jefferson Coolidge, is 

 chairman of the building committee. 



Eric H. Wetterlow, head gardener of 

 Mrs. Leslie Leland's estate, is vice- 

 president of the Horticultural Society 

 and is active in furthering the plans. 

 He states that Ernest Longfellow has 

 submitted a sketch for the building 

 and that ground will be broken before 

 cold weather. 



A new building has been made im- 

 perative by the sale of Lee's Hall, 

 where the horticultural shows have 

 been held. A few weeks ago an at- 

 tempt was made to hold the show un- 

 der a tent on the estate of Mrs. Robert 

 C. Winthrop, but rain handicapped the 

 arrangements. It was decided that the 

 only sure course was to have a home 

 for the society.
