HORTICULTURE 



FLOWER SHOW IN BOSTON 



What Was Announced as a Rose Ex- 

 hibit Developed into a Peony Display 



According to schedule the Show at 

 Horticultural Hall. Boston, last Satur- 

 day and Sundry should have been a 

 combination tokg and strawberry show. 

 As a matter of fact, it was a very much 

 better leony show than the one which 

 was held at the regular peony exhibit 

 the previous week. Peonies were in 

 good condition Irst week, and as a 

 result the hall was filled with these 

 flowers, many of them of high quality. 

 Only a few roses and fewer strawber- 

 ries were exhibited, owing again to the 

 lateness of the season. Some especial- 

 ly handsome Japanese singles were 

 shown by D. W. McKissock, of Need- 

 ham. H. F. Chase, of Andover. who 

 has acquire;" an enviable reputation as 

 a peony breeder in a limited way. had 

 a very good collection, one of his seed- 

 lings, Miriam, a rich rose pink, attract- 

 ing especiai attention. He also showed 

 a stalk of Lady Alexander D iff with 

 six fine blooms. T. C. Thurlow's Sons, 

 of West Newbury, made a notable en- 

 try with 10,000 blooms. 



A special display of evergreens from 

 the Blue Hill Nurseries was also a feat- 

 ure of the show which attracted much 

 comment. A number of remarkably 

 fine small specimens were shown of 

 Japanese larches and arborvitae.
