212 MASSACHUSETTS HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 



Walter Hunnewell's Estate at Wellesley. 



On July 7 the committee had the privilege of inspecting the 

 Hunnewell estate at Wellesley. Frequently described in detail 

 in the annals of the committee during the past 60 years it is hardly 

 necessary to repeat in this report what has been already written 

 concerning this notable estate, one of the best known private places 

 in the country. 



It is now in the fullness of its greatest beauty and the magnificent 

 specimens of trees and shrubs, many of them of rare varieties, 

 make this estate of more than ordinary interest. Owing to the 

 favorable season the foliage never looked better and the whole 

 place showed the result of continued care and improvement. The 

 Society's Gold Medal was awarded Mr. Hunnewell in recognition 

 of his interest in maintaining the high standard of excellence of 

 his estate.
