Meutiou The Review when you write. 



These Are the Little Liners That Do the Business 



could not have been seen to better ad- 

 vantage. 



In spite of the hot, dry summer, stock 

 looked well and had made excellent 

 growth, thanks to persistent cultivation. 

 The general cleanliness of everything was 

 noticeable, hardly a weed being seen in 

 the 150 acres inspected. The herbaceous 

 department of ten acres was still gay 

 with phloxes, liatris, heleniums, helian- 

 thus, sedums, pentstemons, boltonias and 

 many other flowers. The large plantings 

 of maximum, Catawbiense and hybrid 

 rhododendrons near the oflBces and pack- 

 ing-sheds looked particularly well. Ev- 

 eryone thoroughly enjoyed the outing, W. 

 H. Wyman, the proprietor, and his fore- 

 man, John L. Bennett, doing everything 

 possible for the visitors' comfort. Much 

 new land is being cleared for additional 

 nursery ground. 



Dahlia Exhibition. 



The second annual show of the New 

 England Dahlia Society was held in Hor- 

 ticultural hall, Boston, September 10 to 

 12. In spite of the abnormally dry sum- 

 mer, exhibits were more numerous and 

 flowers of better quality than a year ago. 

 The flowers filled the main exhibition and 

 lecture halls and were tastefully ar- 

 ranged. The largest individual exhibitor 

 was W, W. Rawson & Co., who showed 

 several thousand flowers embracing every 

 known type. One feature of this firm's 

 exhibit was a garden plot of considerable 

 size, in which oak branches with dahlias 

 scattered through them were shown. 



Other laree exhibitors were: William 

 F. Turner, Edgar W. Ela, John K. Alex- 

 ander, William (j. Postlings, William H. 

 Wymonds, William H. Richardson, L. A. 

 Towle, Mrs. Lillian Towle, F. L. Tink- 

 ham, Mrs. E. M. Gill, Joseph Thorpe, W. 

 C. Brady, Wilbur D. Moon, D. W. Bab- 

 cock and Clovis N. Bacon. The last 

 named had a beautiful display of flowers 

 grown in a backyard of a thickly settled 

 part of East Boston. The new peony- 

 flowered type of dahlia was largely shown 

 and seemed to take the eye of the visit- 

 ing public. 



The first certificate of the New Eng- 

 land Dahlia Society was awarded to W. 

 W. Rawson & Co. for the cactus dahlia, 

 Marblehead. Awards of recognition for 

 promising new seedlings were made to
