For the best pair of palms, Joseph 

 Pulitzer took first prize, also for speci- 

 men hydrangea. 



William T, Burton had the best six 

 tuberous begonias, also excelling in 

 gloxinias. 



A. E. Ghilman secured both first and 

 second prizes for achimenes, also for 

 specimen ferns, with excellent plants 

 of Adiantum gracillimum and A. cunea- 

 tum. The same exhibitor had a fine 

 group of other specimen ferns, as had 

 John Eenwick. Some of his adiantums 

 were five feet across. Mr. Renwick also 

 had some excellent specimen fuchsias. 



A. "W. Eckstrom had some huge, well 

 flowered allamandas. He took first for 

 three stove and greenhouse plants, with 

 Gardenia florida, AUamanda Williams! 

 and Brugmansia suaveolens of large 

 size. 



A. K Chilman captured first and sec- 

 ond for Begonia Rex. 



For the best arranged group of plants 

 William T. Burton was this time in the 

 lead. He used white gesneras, Franeoa 

 ramosa and gloxinias, effectively ar- 

 ranged with his foliage plants. Ken- 

 neth McLean was second. 



Charles L. Shand had the best pair of 

 hydrangeas in tubs, showing finely flow- 

 ered specimens. 



Baskets of cut flowers are always 

 well arranged here. For ladies only, 

 Mrs. Louis B. McCagg won with a 

 charming basket of white and pale blue 

 lupines; Mrs. J. T. Bowen, second, used 

 white and yellow antirrhinums and 

 gypsophilas. 



In the open class A. W. Eckstrom 

 took first, with a charming arrangement 

 of pink Shirley poppies and gypsophilas. 



William T. Burton secured a silver

THE PINE TREE SILK MILLS CO. 



PHILADELPHIA 



cup offered for the best novelty in the 

 show, with a beautiful new creamy 

 white gesnera. 



Bernard Morris took a cup offered for 

 the best display in the outdoor flower 

 classes, with his dahlia collection, which 

 was well put up. T. Harrison Stiles 

 captured a similar cup for the best 

 vegetable display. 



Grapes were splendidly shown by 

 William T. Burton, Eugene Mitchell and 

 John Stalford, bunches five to eight 

 pounds in weight winning in the Mus- 

 cat and Hambro classes. 



Such flowers as lilies, montbretias, 

 gladioli, hybrid tea roses and carnations 

 were all of splendid quality. 



Mount Desert nurseries had a fine dis- 

 play of their new nephrolepis, Milleri, 

 and of montbretias, the latter including 

 such varieties as Martagon, George Dav- 

 idson, Prometheus, California, Vesuve, 

 Sunbeam and King Edmund. 



Siebrecht & Son showed a vase of 

 Chrysanthemum Golden Glow. 



Perfect weather prevailed during the 

 show, which attracted a big attendance 

 from the many wealthy cottagers resi- 

 dent here. The show here differs from 



many others, as no money prizes are 

 awarded. It is hoped that some finan- 

 cial incentive may be added another 

 year to still further stimulate competi- 

 tion. 



Robert Cameron, of Cambridge, had 

 charge of the general arrangement of 

 the show. The judges were: Fruits 

 and vegetables, Harry Turner, Port 

 Washington, L. L, and E. Jenkins, Len- 

 ox, Mass.; plants, Richard Gardner, 

 Newport, and Howard Nicholls, Yonk- 

 ers, N. Y.; cut flowers, William Ander- 

 son, South Lancaster, Mass., and W. N. 

 Craig, North Easton, Mass. 



On the evening of August 13, a din- 

 ner was tendered by the Mount Desert 

 Nurseries to the judges, exhibiting gar- 

 deners and others at the Kebro Valley 

 Club house. William Miller, of the 

 Mount Desert Nurseries, acted as toast- 

 master and addresses were made by 

 Robert Cameron, Richard Gardner, Har- 

 ry Turner, Edwin Jenkins, Howard 

 Nicholls, W. N. Craig, William Ander- 

 son, T. Harrison Stiles, C. L. Shand, W. 

 T. Burton, Edward Kirk, Eugene Mitch- 

 ell and a number of others.
