FALL SHOW IN BOSTON 



"Mums" Were Not Up to the Average, 



But Begonias and Orchids Were 



Extra Good 



The fall show at Horticultural Hall, 

 Boston, last Saturday and Sunday was 

 largely attended, but did not measure 

 up in all ways to the hopes of those 

 who had it in charge. The chrysan- 

 themums, while fairly numerous, were 

 lacking on the whole in size and qual- 

 ify of the flowers. A particularly large 

 exhibit was made by Mrs. Homer Gage 

 of Shrewsbury, who had twenty varie- 

 ties in more than fifty vases. Some 

 Japanese anemone varieties were par- 

 ticularly good. Edward E. Clark, of 

 Jamaica Plain, had some of the larg- 

 est flowers shown among his fifteen 

 varieties of chrysanthemums. Miss 

 Marian Roby Case of Hillcrest Gar- 

 dens. Weston,, displayed fruits and veg- 

 etables of more than twenty-five differ- 

 ent classes, and received many compli- 

 ments on her entries. Twenty differ- 

 ent varieties of fruits and vegetables 

 were shown in the display staged by 

 Supt. W. N. Craig, of Faulkner Farm. 



Undoubtedly the feature of the 

 show was the exhibit of begonias from 

 the estate of Thomas E. Proctor, of 

 Topsfield, James Mkrlboro, superin- 

 tendent. These winter flowering be- 

 gonias were exceedingly beautiful, 

 and occupied the center of the floor in 

 the larger hall, where they were sur- 

 rounded by eager visitors. There 

 were forty varieties, and about one 

 hundred and fifty plants. Most of 

 them are new Clibran's hybrids from 

 England, and the colors ranged from 

 light orange to very deep red. Edwin 

 S. Webster also had some good bego- 

 nias, including Gloire de Lorraine and 

 Glory of Cincinnati. 



The orchid display of Mr. A. C. Bur- 

 rage is noted elsewhere. The follow- 

 ing is a list of awards:
