The dates selected for the annual 

 chrysanthemum show of the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society were much 

 too early. The flowers are ten days 

 later than usual in this section, and 

 a postponement would have resulted 

 in a far more creditable show. The 

 flowers on most of the pot plants were 

 only half expanded and a good many 

 of the large blooms were in the same 

 condition. More material was forth- 

 coming than for several years, espe- 

 cially in the way of groups, but spe- 

 cimen blooms and plants were a mere 

 ghost of what they used to be in Bos- 

 ton. The omission of decorated dinner 

 tables, mantels-, etc., which brought in 

 the retailers and at the same time at- 

 tracted the public, was an error. 



The show was well arranged, but the 

 attendance was comparatively meager 

 as shows go here. Another year the 

 schedule should include fruits, which 

 this time were entirely excluded, and 

 more classes should be allotted to veg- 

 etables, while competition from retail- 

 ers should be strongly encouraged. 



In the group of foliage and flowering 

 plants covering 300 square feet, W. W. 

 Edgar Co. won with an excellent ar- 

 rangement. In the 150 feet group for 

 private gardeners Mrs. J. L. Gardner, 



Peoa's Group of Baskets oi Cut Flowers at the Boston Show. 



W. Thatcher gardener, won with a fine 

 circular group. Bambusas were used 

 in the center to good advantage, and 

 only the single or pompon chrysanthe- 

 mums were used. Mrs. Gardner also 

 led several other competitors for the 

 best group of orchids, cattleyas, phal- 

 aenopsis, vandas and Oncidivjm Kogersii 

 predominating. F. J. Dolinsky, who 

 was second, was strong (m cattleyas. 

 Mrs. C. G. Weld, W. C. Eust gardener, 

 was third. Some good calanthes and 

 brasso-cattleyas were included here. J. 

 T. Butterworth also contributed a group 

 which contained some choice hybrid 

 cattleyas. 



F. J. Dolansky had the best speci- 

 men cypripedium, with a well flowered 

 C. insigne Sanderse; second, Thomas 

 Watt, with C. insigne Hareneld Hall. 

 J. T. Butterworth had the best plant 

 of Oncidium varieosum Eogersii. 



For group of chrysanthemums cov- 

 ering 300 square feet, T. E. Procter, 

 James Marlborough gardener, won with 

 a finely arranged group in which sin- 

 gle stem flowers were dotted judiciously 

 among singles, anemones and pompons; 

 second, Walter Hunnewell, T. D. Hat- 

 field gardener; third, W. H. Elliott, 

 who staged an excellent lot of commer- 

 cially grown plants. 



Specimen plants were not numerous 

 and the flowers needed ten days more 

 for development for fair plants. J. S. 

 B.iiley won with well trained speci- 

 mens of L. Boehmer, Mrs. Beckett, Dr. 

 Enguehard and Theo. The same ex- 

 hibitor had the best two specimens in 

 Theo and Enguehard. The former re- 

 ceived the silver medal for the best 

 specimen plant in the show. Mr. Wat- 

 son also captured most of the other 

 firsts for plants. N. F. Comley was sec- 

 ond for specimen yellow, with Terrace 

 Hall. 



For twenty-five commercially grown 

 plants, W. H. Elliott took both first 

 and second. For six plants grown six 

 flowers to a stem, T. E. Procter, James 

 Marlborough gardener, had capital 

 plants of Wm. Turner, Nellie Pockett, 

 Mrs. G. C. Kelley, F. T. Quittenton, 

 Merza and Mrs. Duckham, which se- 

 cured first prize. 



For twenty-five specimen kentias, 

 Wm. Whitman, M. Sullivan gardener, 

 was first and third; second, Mrs. F. 

 Ayer, Geo. Page gardener. For pair 

 of arecas, Wm. Whitman was first and 

 Mrs. F. Ayer second. 



For six Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, 

 E. A. Clark was first and W. W. Ed- 

 gar Co. second. For six Glory of Cin- 

 cinnati A. F. Estabrook, George Bar- 

 ker gardener, was first and E. A. Clark 

 second. 



For twenty-five specimen blooms, H. 

 E. Converse, D. F. Roy gardener, led 

 with splendid flowers of President Taft, 

 E. F. Felton, Miss Clay Frick, Yellow

 or its sports, the veteran James Nicol 

 onoe more led, with fine but only par- 

 tially developed flowers of Yellow 

 •Tones; second, White Jones from the 

 same exhibitor. For twelve blooms
