The Rorists' Review 



1 



Sei'Temvkk 15, 1921 



cicty and Dalilia Society of New Eng- 

 land at Horticultural hall September 

 10 and 11. The latter society was too 

 late in issuing its schedule and many 

 classes were uncontested. Another 

 year it should send out a month or two 

 at least in advance of the show. The 

 quality of the Howers shown was superb. 

 It has been a wonderful growing season 

 for dahlias in the east and Boston 

 never had as fine quality flowers before. 

 Some of the specimens of decorative 

 and peony-llowered shown were twenty- 

 seven to thirty-two inches in circumfer- 

 ence. These two types seemed to be 

 the most ])opular. The cactus family 

 has declined in favor, while the beauti- 

 ful singles are all but neglected. 



For the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society's premiums awards were made 

 as follows:

 Hathaway, New Uedtord, tirst; t'. I»uls Allint?,
