Horticulture at Waltham Fair. 



Waltham is a part of Greater Bos- 

 ton and within easy reach of 2,000,000 

 people. It is not surprising that the 

 first fair held there, under bright, alert 

 managers, should have proved a great 

 success, and this in spite of one dreary, 

 wet day, the only one of its kind we 

 have had in many weeks. The ener- 

 getic committee on flowers and plants, 

 consisting of E. A. Peirce, J. Frank 

 Edgar and Henry Stewart, deserves 

 congratulations on the splendid flower 

 show got up at quite short notice, the 

 beat which I have seen at any fair held 

 in this section. The trade was well 

 represented and the displays were of 

 a notably high order. 



On the opening day, September 9, 

 C. W. Brown, Ashland, Mass., won 

 first prize for an artistic group of gladi- 

 oli, covering fifty square feet, B. Ham- 

 mond Tracy being a good second. A 

 grand collection of named varieties 

 was put up by Jelle Roos, Concord, 

 Mass. 



For the best vase of gladioli, prizes 

 went to L. J. Kelley and J. W. Kohe. 



For the dahlia group, John K. Alex- 

 ander was once more in the lead, with 

 his usual fine and varied display; J. B. 

 Collins, second. 



First prize in the aster group went to 

 Henry Stewart, gardener for Miss Cor- 

 nelia Warren, other premiums going to 

 J. P. Conley and Mrs. W. M. Bryant. 



For a 50-foot group of flowering and 

 decorative plants, Henry Stewart won 

 from four other competitors. He 

 showed a handsome lot of dipladenias 

 and Oncidium flexuosum. George F. 

 Stewart, head gardener for A. T. Ly- 

 man, who was second, showed some fine 

 Fuchsia fulgens and standard helio- 

 tropes in his group. The W. W. Edgar 

 Co. had a fine group of palms, ferns, 

 speciosum lilies, etc. The Harold A. 

 Byan Co., in its group, featured cala- 

 diums and palms, while H. S. Sears had 

 a fine lot of achimenes and gloxinias. 



The Fottler, Fiske, Rawson Co. made 

 an attractive display of dahlias and 

 gladioli. 



The second day in the basket classes 

 the Boston retailers were out in force 

 and outdid themselves. Competition 

 was keen and the judges, P. Welch, 

 P. E. Palmer, S. J. Goddard and W. N. 

 Oraig, had no sinecure in making 

 awards. 



For the most artistic basket of gladi- 

 oli, other flowers and gpreenery being
