blooms as we now have in selling $100 

 worth. 



Aa to the future possibilities of this 

 work, I can see no reason why prac- 

 tically every bulb now imported into 

 this country cannot be grown, if not in 

 Portsmouth, in some other part of Amer- 

 ica. We are experimenting on .a large 

 scahi with hyacinths and lilies, and hope 

 to be able to report successful results 

 another season. 



MANCHESTER, MASS. 



Unfavorable weather was the lot of 

 the North Shore Horticultural Society 

 for the big summer show, which was held 

 on the grounds of the Essex County Club 

 August 26 and 27. While there was a 

 slight falling off in entries, the quality 

 of the exhibits was superior. 



Mrs. Gardner M. Lane, Hubert Shaw 

 gardener, secured the Schlegel & Fottler 

 special for the best collection of annuals. 

 The silver cup, value $25, for best 100- 

 foot group of ferns went to Mrs. E. S. 

 Grew, Alfred Parsons gardener, for an 

 excellent lot ; Mrs. Lester Leland, Eric 

 Wetterton gardener, second. The last 

 named exhibitor captured the silver cup 

 for the best group of flowering and fo- 

 liage plants arranged for effect. Mrs. 

 George Cabot won the cup for the best 

 table arranged by ladies. For best dis- 

 play of white flowers Mrs. James Mc- 

 Millan, F. F. Braseh gardener, led with a 

 splendid collection. The T. J. Grey Co. 

 prize for twenty annuals w-ent to the 

 same exhibitor, also the J. B. Dow spe- 

 cial prize for perennial phlox and the 

 Schlegel & Fottler special for collection 

 of zinnias. Mrs. A. G. Thayer won the 

 gold medal for best twelve vases of her- 

 baceous flowers. 



For the largest and best collection of 

 vegetables Mrs. Philip Dexter, James 

 Salter gardener, won the White silver cup. 

 For twelve varieties of vegetables, prizes 

 offered by T. J. Grey Co., Mrs. Gordon 

 Abbott, William Irwin gardener, was 

 first, and Mrs. E. S. Grew second. Mrs. 

 Gordon Abbott also won the Schlegel & 

 Fottler special for collection, and the 

 same firm's special for collection of to- 

 matoes. 



There were many fine displays in the 

 society's cut flower and plant classes. A

 Fitz, William Kiss gardener; Mrs. S. 

 Parkman Blake, A. M. Pattillo, F. C.
