202 MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 



The September Show of Dahhas and Fruit was extensive and 

 most interesting. Dahhas were shown in great number; all the 

 classes ha\ing called forth keen competition and the blooms shown 

 were of superior quality. 



The Fruit and Vegetable Exhibition, October 4, 5 and 6, taxed 

 the capacity of the three halls. Apples were the leading feature 

 and made a most attractive display. 



The Chrysanthemum Show, Nov. 7, 8, 9 and 10, was better than 

 for several years. Large specimen plants were exhibited in several 

 large groups. The specimens displayed most skilful culture in 

 size, symmetry, and quality and finish of the blooms. 



The exhibitions of the year 1912 were highly creditable to the 

 Society for their horticultural and educational value and the 

 receipts at the doors for the March and November Shows ($6,808 75) 

 gave evidence of increasing public interest.
