The annual exhibition of fruits, flow- 

 ers and vegetables of the North Shore 

 Horticultural Society was held August 

 24 and 25, in a large tent on the Es- 

 sex County Club grounds at Manches- 

 ter, and proved, in spite of droughty 

 weather conditions, to be one of the 

 finest yet held. The attendance of 

 prominent cottagers was, as usual, 

 large. 



Much interest centered in the dinner 

 table decorations, which were quite nu- 

 merous. The silver cup finally went to

 Millan being second and Mrs. B. Ham- 

 mond Tracy third. Mrs, Lester Lcland

 by B. Hammond Tracy, and to be won 

 twice, for the best collection of named 

 gladioli, also went to Mrs. Lester Le- 

 land, Erie Wetterlow, gardener. 



The best collection of annuals 

 brought out a fine competition, the G, 

 B. White silver cup going to Mrs. 

 James McMillan, who also took second 

 for the best dahlia display, Mrs. G. M. 

 Lane being in the lead in the latter 



ill gag

 lection of perennial phloxes. Miss A.

 W. H. Moore, Alexander Shaw, gar- 

 dener, had the winning montbretias,

 pis, six ferns in variety, specimen fern,
