Autumn Exhibition. 



The annual September show of plants 

 and flowers hold September 5 and 6 

 brought out a fine lot of exhibits. There 

 have been more displays of stove and 

 greenhouse plants in previous years, but 

 changing tastes necessitated the cutting 

 out of a number of classes formerly de- 

 voted to these. On the other hand the 

 display of dahlias never has been equaled 

 n even approached in Boston. The in- 

 terest in this popular, flower seems to be 

 ever on the increase. 



Mrs. John I. Gardner, Wm. Thatcher 

 gardener, was the most successful ex- 

 hibitor in the plant classes. Mrs. Fred- 

 erick Ayer was first in three classes and 

 William Whitman, M. Sullivan garden- 

 er, was second for pair of palms and 

 also contributed a group of palms. R, & 

 J. Farquhar & Co. had a large group of 

 decorative plants, also a table of hardy 

 herbaceous plants. Harvard Botanic 

 Gardens had a group of ornamental 

 plants which was one of the features of 

 the show. A. F. Estabrook, Geo. Barker 

 gardener, had a good group of palms, 

 adiantums, etc. 



H. A. Dreer Co. had three large tanks 

 of nymphteas and other aquatics, award- 

 ed a first-class certificate. They also 

 received honorable mention for Adian- 

 tum macrophyllum bipinnatum albo- 

 striatum, Adiautum scutum ramosum, 

 Maranta Goulleti, Asparagus Ducheni 

 and Pterif, Childsii. 



Lager & Hurrell had a small table of 

 seasonable orchids. For thirty vases 

 herbaceous flowers Blue Hill Nurseries 

 won with a superb collection. Bay State 

 Nurseries were second on this occasion. 

 They also showed a fine collection of 

 phloxes and another collection of herba- 

 ceous plants. J. Breck & Son had a col- 

 lection of cactus dahlias. W, W. Raw- 

 son & Co. had a fine collection of dahlias, 

 also Lilium Philippense. 



H. H. Rogers, James Garthly garden- 

 er, had a nice lot of Begonia grandiflora 

 erecta cristata awarded honorable men- 

 tion.

 lection of ornamental grasses. J. K.
