way. A'fit (iiily were tiio cntrios I'ar more 

 iiunierons tliau a year ago, orcnjiying 

 over doiiltlij last year 's space, hut wi'atlitii' 

 fouditioiis were as near perl'eet as j)os- 

 sil)le and tliu attendance ot tlu' public 

 larger tiiaii ever before. True, the low 

 leiiiperatures made extra care necessary 

 in wrajipiug plants and llowers, but the 

 clear skies ami bright .sunshim^ which 

 prevailed during the exhibition choen^d 

 everyone and assisted in making the 

 show the most successful of its kind ever 

 lield in America. The e.xhiltition of tin; 

 Massacimsetts Jlorticultural Society was 

 a splendid one. It filled the main exhibi- 

 tion hall, loggia and small hall, wiiile 

 the society used the lecture hall. 



The cut blooms were far more numer- 

 ous than in 190.1, and the quality also 

 showed a distinct advance. The lieauty 

 classes Avero the hardest to judge, com- 

 petition ])eing very keen. ]>iberty and 

 Richmond were each finely shown. The 

 winning vase of the latter, from Waban 

 Conservatories, was more admired than 

 any otiier iu the hall. The vase of 

 Chatenay, which won the Welch cup for 

 the Exeter Ivose Conservatories for the 

 best vase of roses iu the show, were 

 probalily the best of that variety ever 

 staged, l^rides and Bridesmaids were 

 numerously shown. Golilen (i.'ite also 

 had some excellent entries .and seemed to 

 take with the ]tul)lic. Cien. .MacArthur, 

 Wellesley and Killarney all had ad- 

 mirers .•iml were linely shown, lirniiners, 

 ].. -lings ainl other hybrids were but in- 

 diiferently .^Jiown, not up to IJostou's 

 standard. 



Pot roses were more of a feature than 

 ever. Thomas IJoIand 's group was su- 

 jterb, and Edgar, Steinholf, Walsh and 

 others showed many fine hyl)rid per- 

 ]ietuals and ramblers. Boston this ye.-tr 

 iiad to lower its colors in one or two 

 of the most important classes, after a 

 struggle. Philadelphia deserved the 

 honors secured and we dmibt not but 

 that future wars of the roses between 

 the growers of the two cities will be 

 given added zest by the Hub's tcm- 

 jporary discomfiture. Prizes awarded by 

 the Itose Society were as follows, for
