The Midsmmner Show. 



The annual show of perennials and 

 hardy annuals of the Lenox Horticul- 

 tural Society was held in the town hall 

 July 28 and was a great success. Al- 

 though the entries fell rather short of 

 last year, the high standard of all ex- 

 hibits was fully maintained. The exhi- 

 bition was a fortnight earlier than last 

 year, for the benefit of the coming 

 queen of summer flowers, sweet peas, 

 and these dreams of color and refine- 

 ment more than held their own. The 

 display had the appearance of a na- 

 tional sweet pea show on a smaller scale, 

 but smaller only in numbers, not in 

 up-to-date varieties or in quality of 

 blooms. 



The winner of the big class came 

 from the High Lawn House gardens, G. 

 Foulsham, gardener. This exhibit stood 

 out by itself, for length of stems, purity 

 of color, substance of flowers, and in 

 fact all the points. The varieties were 

 Florence Morse Spencer, Miss Wilmott, 

 F. Dolby, John Ingham, Tennant 

 Spencer, Othello, E. J. Castle, Helen 

 Lewis, Helen Pierce, Queen Alexandra, 

 Countess Spencer and Lord Nelson. 



Another display, not for competition, 

 which was one of the features of the 

 show, wag a collection of thirty-four 

 varieties of sweet peas from Mrs, J. 

 Sloane, A. J. Loveless, gardener. They 

 were arranged with much taste, in low

bowls, and showed their beauty to full 

 advantage. Mr. Loveless was awarded 

 a diploma of merit for this exhibit, and 

 deserved it. 



The hardy perennials staged by Mrs. 

 J. E. Parsons, E. Spiears, gardener, and 

 W. D. Sloane, F. Heeremans, gardener, 

 would be hard to beat. The same may 



be said of the annuals. It was a hard 

 tussle between J. E. Parsons and J. E. 

 Alexander, E. W. Jack, gardener. They 

 demonstrated in a practical way what 

 beautiful subjects these are.
