WOBCESTEB, MASS. 



The annual fall exhibition of the 

 Worcester County Horticultural Society, 

 in Horticultural hall, surpassed the ex- 

 pectations of the committee and proved 

 of great interest. There was an excel- 

 lent showing of fruit, and many more 

 flowers than the committee had ar- 

 ranged for, as allowance had been made 

 for the fact that the heavy frosts of 

 the preceding week had destroyed 

 nearly everything out of doors. 



The platform of the hall was banked 

 by palms from the greenhouses of H. 

 F. A. Lange, who received a prize for 

 the display. Among the other promi- 

 nent prize- winning exhibits were: A 

 group of hardy shrubs grown by Will- 

 iam Anderson, gardener for Bayard 

 Thayer, of Lancaster, and a collection 

 of potted plants grown by George Mc- 

 William, gardener for G. ATarston 

 Whitin, of Whitinsville.
