showed a novelty in the form of a seed- 

 ling with a distinct border which 

 caused considerable comment. 



.lelle Koos. formerly of -Milton, but 

 now having a large farm at Concord, 

 made an extensive exhibit. .Among the 

 promising seedlings shown were sev- 

 eral on the tables of C. W. Brown, of 

 .\shland. who showed about a hundred 

 varieties, a large proportion of (hem 

 seedlings of his own growing. 



-As usual. W. N. Craig, of Faulkner 

 rarni. and Miss Marian Roby Case, of 

 Hillcresi Farm. Weston, had large and 

 unique exhibits. Mr. Craig had an 

 especially fine collection of vegetables. 

 as well as of gladioli, and Miss Case 

 showed vegetables, fruit and dahlias. 

 Her peaches attracted particular at- 

 tention.

Silver cup each for Mrs. Dr. Norton 

 and Mary Sennell. Mr. Kunderd. wlio 

 originated them, said that he never 

 saw better specimens. 



Dr. Bennett, President of the St, 

 Thomas, Ont., Horticultural Society, 

 had a remarkably fine general display 

 for which he received a medal. Mr. 

 H. K. Meader. of Dover. N. H.. re- 

 ceived the American Society's medal 

 for the best seedling. He also re- 

 ceived a certificate of merit from the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society 

 for his seedling Red Cross. Mr. Mead- 

 er's Lily White won first in the white 

 section. 



.Mrs. .M. B. Hawks, of Bennington. 

 \'t.. received the Kunderd gold medal 

 for the best display of Kunderd 

 varieties. 



One of the most remarkable gladioli 

 shown was a new seedling from Kun- 

 derd. which was given a silver medal 

 by the American Society. This re- 

 markably dainty little flower is white, 

 edged with pink. Gold, originated by 

 Dr. Hogge, received the first prize in 

 the yellow class, and attracted much 

 attention. Golden Measure, shown by 

 Theodore A. Havcmeyer, was remark- 

 able for the extreme stoutness of the 

 stems and the size of the spikes. 



In the blues, nothing was better 

 than Muriel, also shown by Mr. Have- 

 meyer. Heliotrope was another blue 

 shown in excellent shape. 



Mr. A. L. Stephen was awarded a
