MANCHESTER, MASS. 



The enterprising gardeners of the 

 North Shore Horticultural Society held 

 their annual chrysanthemum show in the 

 Town Hall on November 10. The ex- 

 hibition was admitted to be far the 

 best the society has vet held and the 

 quaUty of the exhibits was excellent 

 throughout. It will soon be necessary 

 for the members to seek more com- 

 modious quarters if the number of ex- 

 hibits continues to increase. 



The prizes in the plant classes were 

 divided between Miss A. G. Thayer, J. 

 McGregor, gardener; Mrs. E. C. Hoop- 

 er, Wm. Swan, gardener, and J. Jm- 

 Masury, Thomas Waldic, gardener. For

 tended, many of the prominent North 

 Shore residents being among those 

 present. W. N. Craig. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



The tenth fall exhibition of the New 

 Jersey Floricultural Society was held 

 November 4. It was greatly regretted 

 bv the throng which filled the rooms from 

 six until nearly eleven that the display 

 had not had the larger hall which its 

 merit justified and that the afternoon had 

 not been used. Several of the patrons of 

 this one promised to help provide better 

 accommodations another year. The num- 

 ber of entries of flowers necessitated the 

 display of vegetables and fruits being 

 placed in a room by itself and the wide 

 field from which the exhibits were gath- 

 ered showed the growing influence of the 

 society. 



Pre-eminently a chrysanthemum show, 

 the blooms and plants were of the high- 

 est order, yet the display of orchids al- 

 most eclipsed the autumn queen. The 

 very fine exhibit of Henry Graves occu- 

 pied an entire table. That from William 

 Barr also occupied the greater pert of 

 another table, the two being separated by 

 a stand bearing the large vase of oama- 

 tions from the Colgates which received 



Carnation Robert Crai£. 



(The vase which won the Silver Cup at Philadelphia.)
