Poplars are unhurt. No conifer, not even the White Pine, has 
suffered, and none of the broad-leafed evergreens. A few 
deciduous-leafed shrubs have lost branches, but such injuries 
are of slight importance and are soon effaced. 
In riding through the parks and roads of Greater Boston one 
gets the impression that the Oaks and Ginkgos have shown the 
greatest resistance to this storm. It is interesting to find that 
of the numerous Ginkgos which have been planted in Greater 
Boston none so far as observed has lost a single twig. 
Autumn Exhibit of the Horticultural Society of New York 
and The Garden Club of America 
November 3rd to 6th, 1921. 
Our first venture in official co-operation in a New York City 
flower show, with our name on the programme, is over. As usual 
we have learned much. Our good friend the Horticultural 
Society, was most courteous and considerate of our amateur 
methods. We hope to be of more use to them next time. 
Chrysanthemums, of course, were the chief attraction and 
Mr. Totty's hardy varieties were again our favorites. The rooms 
were haunted day and night by our members with their note 
books, checking up and identifying and noting color for future 
use. A full list of the best varieties will appear in the March 
Bulletin. 
The Orchid exhibits were especially beautiful. The exhibits 
of Larger & Harrell, Julius Roehrs and Baldwin & Company of 
Mamaroneck, were unusually fine. 
A novelty was a superb exhibit of Nerines, a bulbous green- 
house plant of the Amaryllis family, in unusual shades of deep 
salmon red. 
The following prizes were won by our members in the Inter- 
Club classes: 
Haxdy Chrysanthemums, outdoor grown.
