Dense, dark foliage and sweeping semi-pendulous branches with pyramidal form combine to give a 

 charm not found in any other known EJvergreen.

SALEM MASS. 



BOSTON'S BIG SHOW. 



Orchids and Japanese Azaleas to Be 

 the Features. 



Rare orchids from every country 

 under the sun are to be exhibited at 

 the great Orchid Show of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society, which 

 will be held at Horticultural Hall, in 

 Boston, Wednesday to Sunday, March 

 24 to 28. Applications for space will 

 exceed the capacity of the exhibition 

 halls. More than three hundred thou- 

 sand dollars' worth of orchids, it Is 

 estimated, will be shown. 



Albert C. Burrage, of Boston, who 

 has the largest private collection of 

 orchids in this country, will make ex- 

 hibit from his twenty or more green- 

 houses at "Orchidvale," near Beverly 

 Farms, which will completely fill the 

 large lecture hall. The hall will be 

 arranged with trees, palms and other 

 tropical vegetation, with the orchids 

 growing on them as they do in their 

 native haunts. Although made to ap- 

 pear like a section of the tropical 

 jungle the various plants will be dis- 

 played to show each one to the best 

 advantage. Orchid growers of Boston, 

 Western Massachusetts, New Jersey, 

 New York and Philadelphia will ex- 

 hibit at the coming show. 



Assistant Director, E. H. Wilson of 

 the Arnold Arboretum announces that 

 that institution will make an exhibit 

 of some 1.30 .Japanese Azaleas which 

 have never before been shown in this 

 country. These plants were secured 

 from Japan and are now being pre- 

 pared in the famous Sargent Green- 

 houses at Brookline, so that they will 

 be in flower at the time of the exhibi- 

 tion in March. There will also be 

 large exhibits of other plants, but the 

 orchids will be the main feature of 

 the show, more than $3,500 in addition 

 to gold, silver, and bronze medals 

 having been allotted for prizes for this 



class of plants and flowers alone. 



The purpose of this exhibition is to 

 interest a larger number of people in 

 this most beautiful class of plants. 

 The extension of orchid culture within 

 the last quarter of a century has been 

 remarkable. In large collections 

 there still remains a wide field for the 

 exercise of cultural skill, and it is to 

 develop this that the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society is holding this 

 exhibition and offering large prizes.

 J. Edward Moon of Morrisville, Pa., 

 or .lohn Watson of Newark, N. Y., will 

 address the club on "The American 

 .\ssociation of Nurserjinen: Its Aims 

 and Purposes."
