BOSTON'S SPBINa SHOW. 



Bulb Classes Featured. 



The schedule of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society for the spring 

 show, which opened March 23, con- 

 tained nothing but bulb classes. These 

 in themselves do not make a show suf- 

 ficiently interesting to enthuse the gen- 

 eral public, but groups and displays of 

 miscellaneous flowering and decorative 

 plants gave the show the needful va- 

 riety to make it interesting. All ex- 

 hibits were staged in the main hall and 

 loggia, the show being of not over half 

 the dimensions of the preceding years. 



The attendance was far below that of 

 former years, and if, instead of charging 

 a small admission fee, the show had 

 been made free throughout, it would 

 have attracted thousands of visitors 

 and been productive of far more good. 

 The bulbs shown were of remarkably fine 

 quality, the best ever seen in Boston, 

 and attracted much interest from vis- 

 itors. Allen J. Jenkins, superintendent 

 to Mrs. Homer Gage, Shrewsbury, 

 Mass., staged the early bulb garden. It 

 received a gold medal and $200. A ce- 

 dar hedge surrounded it, higher plants 

 being used at the sides of the four en- 

 trances. Forsythias and Azalea Kaemp- 

 feri were effectively used at the back 



of the borders, the balance being oc- 

 cupied by a fine assortment of well 

 grown tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and 

 Spanish iris. The edgings were of poly- 

 anthus. The garden plan was well con- 

 ceived and reflected much credit on Mr. 

 Jenkins. 



Splendid Displajrs. 



There was a splendid show of 12-inch 

 pans of hyacinths. For six pans compe- 

 tition was strong. First place went to 

 Peter Arnott, gardener to E. I. Web- 

 ster, for General de Wet, Electra, King 

 of the Blues, Czar Peter, Lady Derby 

 and City of Haarlem; second prize went 

 to William Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. 

 J. L. Gardner.
