gardenia corsages by Boston Cut Flow- 

 er Co., pink and white azaleas by H. 

 R. Comley, Irish Fire Flame roses by 

 Boston Cut Flower Co., and Hadley 

 roses, gardenias and lilacs by Penn, 

 the Florist. The desirability of hav- 

 ing the flower stems in water in this 

 table work was well-demonstrated a 

 few hours after staging for all those 

 not so provided were soon wilted and 

 disreputable looking. 



On side tables in this hall the carna- 

 tions were staged. A silver medal to 

 Cottage Gardens Co. for a vase of 

 Matchless, was the special prize award 

 In this section. S. J. Goddard was 

 represented by a collection of superb 

 flowers not for competition. Beauti- 

 ful Rosette was here seen in perfec- 

 tion. A. A. Pembroke also made a fine 

 ishowing of skilful carnation culture. 

 Patten & Co. showed Princess Dagmar 

 In gigantic blooms, A. Roper had Alice 

 Coombs and a seedling No. 109. and 

 Pink Supreme from J. H. Leach & 

 Son, was stunning. Snapdragons were 

 shown by Geo. E. Buxton and W. C. 

 Rust, the latter showing "Weld Pink," 

 ■which Is a particularly pure tint of 

 light pink and will surely become 

 popular. 



Among the sterling sensations were 

 the vases of new roses by Waban Rose 

 Conservatories and Montgomery Bros. 

 The latter won a silver medal with a 

 magnificent vase of Hadley. Waban 

 Rose Conservatories was awarded a 

 special silver medal for their sensa- 

 tional seedling Mrs. Moorfleld Storey. 

 This is a silvery pink flower, very 

 double, deeper tint In the heart, enor- 

 mous heavy bloom with delicious fra- 

 grance and the same thick shining foli- 

 age which Is found on Hadley. The 

 above mentioned as well as Killarney 

 Queen and Mrs. Charles Russell were 

 shown with stems 4 to 6 feet tall! 



William Sim again came to the front 

 ■with wonderful sweet peas, pansies 

 and violets. F. J. Dolansky showed 

 gardenias the equal of -ft-hich have 

 never been seen here. In the small 

 hall most of the bulb exhibits were 

 placed. There were long ranks of 

 tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in great 

 variety, William Whitman being the 

 largest exhibitor In these classes. In 

 this hall a most remarkable exhibit of 

 fine vegetables was made by the Bos- 



K. & .1. Fauquhar & Co.'s Plant Gkoup. 

 Spring Exhibition iu Boston. 



ton Market Gardeners' Association. 

 The vegetables were packed In bushel 

 boxes and there were 100 bushels of
