MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY. 
Summer Show of Horticultural Society a 
Great Success. 
With a score or more of tables loaded 
down with many choice plants, blossoms of 
every hue sending out a varied fragrance — 
one grand bower of flowers, the choicest of 
the choice—the summer flower, fruit and 
vegetable show of the North Shore Horti- 
cultural society in town hall, Manchester, 
Wednesday night, was one of the most suc- 
cessful the society has ever held. 
Both from the quality and quantity of 
plants displayed, and from the number of 
péople who showed their interest by attend- 
ing, the exhibition surpassed any of those 
previously given by the society. 
As a result of the efforts made by the 
patronesses, there was an unusually large 
number of the society folk present in the 
afternoon, many driving over from Beverly 
Cove, Pride’s Crossing, Beverly Farms and 
Magnolia. 
The collection of gladiolii and of asters, 
dahlias and roses were particularly good 
for this season of the year, while the indi- 
vidual exhibits of special plants brought 
together a choice collection on the various 
tables. 
One of the features of the show was a 
table arranged for effect by Miss Mary F. 
Bartlett (J. K. Tappan, gardener), which set 
at the left of the entrance tothe hall. The 
display of roses, gladiolii and India rasp- 
berry, with other choice plants, drew “special 
mention.” 
A table put up by Mrs. James McMillan, 
containing vases of pond lilies, roses, dahlias 
and asters, also attracted a great deal of 
attention. 
Mrs. H. L. Higginson (Joseph Clark, 
gardener), and Mrs. R. C. Hooper (Mr. Swan, 
gardener), captured first and second prizes 
for best display of flowers arranged for 
effect, filling one society table. 
In the end of the hall, beyond these tables, 
was an attractive display by T. Jefferson 
Coolidge (Mr. Sanborn, gardener), which 
made one of the prettiest settings in the 
hall. Besides the display of cut flowers, 
among which the centaurea and the fuchsias 
were quite prominent, was a magnificent 
row of sweet peas, which gave a beautiful 
setting to the display. 
Mrs. M. B. Mason (John Riley, gardener), 
had a beautiful display of flowers, taking 14 
prizes. She took first in the class for asters, 
and second for display of hardy herbaceous 
plants. 
Mrs. W. Scott Fitz (Walter E. Allen, 
gardener), had a beautiful vase of roses 
arranged for effect, taking first prize. Her

A magnificent display of tritonas by the 
Blue Hill Nursery and a display of 28 varie- 
ties of phlox by Southworth Bros., attracted 
the attention of many, as did also the choice 
collection of English gooseberry industry by 
J. F. Rabardy. 
The display of vegetables was particularly 
good this year, Mrs. P. Dexter (J. Salter and 
A. S. Peabodv) as usual giving the best show. 
Mrs. W. B. Walker’s special collection of 
herbs was a feature. Others who had fine 
displays were Mrs. C. H. Tweed, Mrs. G. P..
