REPORT 



COMMITTEE ON GARDENS 



FOR THE YEAR 1895. 



Bv JOHN G. BARKER, Chairman. 



The season of 1895 has not differed in many respects from those 

 that have preceded. For the H. H. Hunnewell Triennial Premium 

 no application has been made, but we are glad to report that we 

 already have an application for 1896, and another one is confi- 

 dently expected. For the best arranged and best kept Flower 

 Garden, named Hardy Perennial and Biennial Plants admissible, 

 although we should naturally think that this prize would draw 

 attention from those who have flower gardens, in many years not 

 more than one application has been received. No application was 

 received for the Rose House. Some changes have been made in 

 the Schedule, which we trust may attract the attention of the 

 various growers. 



We find it impossible to arrange a Schedule that will include all 

 that we should like to offer prizes for. But this fact need not 

 deter anyone from calling the attention of the Committee to any 

 object he may have worthy of inspection. 



During the season of 1895 we have made nine visits, and we 

 trust that the account presented of each one will be sufficient 

 evidence to the Society of the continued usefulness of the Garden 

 Committee.
