Combination Exhibit at Boston the 

 Largest Ever Held in America 



The Gladiolus Show held at Horti- 

 ( iiltiiral Hall, last Saturday and Sun- 

 ilay was the largest ever staged in this 

 country. Also it was the best so tar 

 as quality of blooms and variety was 

 concerned. To be sure, two or three 

 large growers, like B. Hammond Tracy 

 and .T. K. Alexander, were missed. Yet 

 the combination of the three societies, 

 the Massachusetts Horticultural So- 

 ciety, the American Gladiolus Socioty. 

 and the Massachusetts Gladiolus So- 

 ciety, assured a large display as well 

 as heavy attendance. Both of the lower 

 halls were filled to capacity with cut 

 flowers, while the upper hall was given 

 over to the Burrage Orchid display. 



The latter was staged in a unique 

 manner, each orchid plant being placed 

 on a pedestal cut from the trunk of a 

 tree. The result was not as effective 

 as at previous shows, when the flowers 

 have been massed, but the arrangement 

 made it very easy for orchid lovers to 

 study the different varieties. Among 

 the new seedlings from Orchidvale. the 

 establishment of Mr. A. C. Burrage, 

 were Brassavola Diggyana and Brasso- 

 Cattleya Eilene Low. the latter being 

 named for Miss Low, the English 

 orchid grower, who visited Boston last 

 spring. 



The gladioli represented the choicest 

 blooms of many of the most noted 

 growers in the country, professional 

 and amateur alike. Among those whose 

 exhibits attracted special attention 

 were H. E. Meader. of Dover. N. H.. 

 president of the American Gladiolus 

 Society. Mr. Meader had an espe- 

 cially fine showing of PrimuHnus Hy- 

 brids. Madison Cooper, of Calcium, 

 N. Y.. editor of the "Flower Grower" 

 and a man who has done as much as 

 anybody in the country to promote the 

 interests of gladiolus growers, had a 

 remarkable collection, which was not- 

 able in particular for its blues. Be- 

 sides Baron .T. Hulot, which was also 

 shown in other collections. Mr. Cooper 

 had a fine lot of "Heliotrope." which 

 was the darkest blue of any gladiolus 

 shown. 



Theodore A. Havemeyer brought on 

 a magnificent collection of gladioli, 

 among them Golden Measure, a yellow 

 of startling brilliancy which has been 

 much commented upon the past year, 

 and the tremendous spikes of which 

 caused no little interest. 



Charles F. Fairbanks, of Lexington, 

 president of the Massachusetts Society 

 and S. E. Spencer, of Woburn, vice- 

 president, each had very large and 

 handsome displays. Mr. Spencer
