28 WORCESTER COUNTY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY [1912-13 



There was no exhibition in April; there were two in May, 

 the first one, owing to the cold, wet, unseasonable weather, 

 outdoor bulbs did not make a good showing; the second one in 

 May was good with the exception of azaleas, molis and tree 

 pgeonias.
