The June show of the Medford 

 (Mass) Horticultural Society was held 

 on June 23. The rainy season had a 

 marked effect on the exhibits, they 

 being not up to their usual standard. 

 Of roses there were very few exhibits 

 and the quality was poor. Peonies 

 were in fairly good form, being quite 

 equal to those shown in Boston the 

 previous week. Very good iris was 

 staged by Mrs. Roberts. Wm. Macy 

 and G. B. Gill. Miss Mackay had it all 

 her own way with roses. Peonies were 

 staged by Hon. Wilton B. Pay and Mrs. 

 Puffer. Centaurea and larkspur by 

 Mrs. Highly. Geo. A. Gill, sweetwil- 

 liams. The centre pieces for a lunch- 

 eon table were excellent; Mrs. Highly 

 winning with a finely arranged bowl of 

 iris. The stage was filled with palms, 

 ferns and peonies from the Lawrence 

 estate. Jas. Methven of Hyde Park 

 and Robt. Lawrie of Dedham were the 

 judges. Geo. F. Stewart.
