Horticultural Society. 



The summer exhibition of annuals and 

 perennials, under the auspices of the 

 Ijenox Horticultural Society, was held in 

 the Town hall August 12 and was very 

 successful. Practically all the summer 

 residents attended and in the evening 

 the hall was thronged. The exhibits of 

 perennials were remarkable for the fine 

 quality when the unfavorable season is 

 taken into consideration. Never before 

 at any of the society's shows has there 

 been seen such a fine collection of Phlox 

 decussata. Owing to the extremely hot 

 season and the heavy electrical storms of 

 the previous week, sweet peas were not 

 so numerous as in former years, but, nev- 

 ertheless, some fine varieties were staged. 



Ulraud Foster was awarded a diploma for a 

 collection of twenty-five varieties of sweet peas. 



For six vases of sweet peas, six varieties, 

 fifty sprays to a vase, John Sloane first, Miss U. 

 Meyer second, Ulraud Foster third. 



In perennials, Mrs. E. K. Wharton was first 

 in eighteen varieties, W. D. Sloane and Miss H. 

 Meyer in twelve and six varieties. 



In classes for eighteen varieties of annuals, 

 twelve and six, the prizes were won by Mrs. 

 E. R. Wharton, W. D. Sloane and Mrs. John E. 

 Alexandre. 



For twenty varieties of Phlox decussata, 

 twelve and six, there was a magnificent display, 

 the competition in the various classes being ex- 

 tremely keen, and the winners were Miss A. 

 Kneeland, Mrs. George Westinghouse, Mrs. 

 Wharton, GIraud Foster, Mrs. John Sloane and 

 Mrs. John E. Parsons. 



For a vase of twenty spikes of gladioli there 

 were eight competitors, G. U. Morgan and 

 W. D. Sloane winning with magnificent spikes 

 of America. 



In classes for six vases of asters in separate 

 colors, twelve blooms to a vase, and three 

 varieties, twelve blooms to a vase, the prizes 

 were won by John E. Parsons and Mrs. Wharton. 



Some fine vases of salpiglossis, scabiosa, 

 pentstemon, delphinium and antirrhinum were 

 ••xhiblted, and first prizes were awarded to 

 W. D. Sloane, Miss Barnes, Mrs. John E. 

 Alexandre, Miss II. Parish and Charles Lanier. 

 The last named also won for twelve tuberous- 

 rooted begonias in eight pots, and the vase of 

 dahlias. 



For a vase of sweet peas, own foliage allowed, 

 the prize was won by GIraud Foster, with 

 St. George. 



In the fruit and vegetable classes competition 

 was keen. Mrs. John E. Parsons, G. II. Mor- 

 gan, GIraud Foster, Joseph 11. Choate, W. D.

 principal honors. The following certificates and 

 diplomas were awarded:
