NORTH 
SHORE BREEZE 
MANCHESTER, MASS. SATURDAY, JULY 
43, 1907. 
SUMMER FLOWER SHOW. 
Annual Event in large tent at Essex County Club grounds attract large 
numbers of the North Shore Colony. 
Though held somewhat later than us- 
ual the annual Rose and Strawberry show 
of the North Shore Horticultural society 
-on Wednesday and Thursday of this 
week was quite successful. The show 
opened at 2. o'clock Wednesday and 
closed Thursday night. 
The quantity of flowers and vegetables 
displayed was somewhat less than last 
year, but what it lacked in quanity it 
made up in quality, for there were many 
very beautiful displays. 
In the afternoon, Wednesday, there 
was a large attendance of the cottagers 
from all along the shore, and guests from 
the hotels at Magnolia. The fact that the 
first of the series of band concerts was 
given on that afternoon brought many to 
the Essex County Club grounds and to 
the exhibition. _ 
As last year the exhibition was held in 
a large tent on the lawn of the club 
grounds,. just a short way from the club 
house. On Thursday some of the exhib- 
itors brought over fresh flowers to take 
the place of the somewhat wilted blooms 
of the day before. On the whole the 
show was very good on the second day. 
The most striking display of all was 
the group of foliage and flowering plants 
by Mrs. Lester Leland (Eric Wetterlow, 
gardener), which was most artistically 
arranged, and for which she was award- 
ed the beautiful silver cup offered by 
Connolly Bros., of Beverly Farms. Mrs. 
Leland also received first prize for the 
best collection of achimenes and for the 
best display ofjgloxinias. 
The cup offered for the best display of 
garden grown roses, not less than ten 
varieties, four blooms each, was won a- 
gain by Mrs. James McMillan (F. 
Brasch, gardener). This made the third 
time that Mrs. McMillan has won the 
cup and itthereby becomes her absolute 
property. It is a very pretty silver cup, 
offered by J. H. Troy of New Rochelle, 
N. Y. The display of roses which won 
PICTURES 
the cup was very beautiful, indeed, and 
attracted universal attention. 
The silver cup offered by Julius Huer- 
lin of South Braintree for the best. col- 
lection of herbaceous perennials, not less 
than 25 varieties, was won by William 
Swan. This cup is tobe won twice be- 
fore becoming the property of the exhibi- 
tor. 
The beautiful table of roses, arranged 
for effect: by Mrs. H.-L. Hippinsant 
filling one society table, drew the silver 
medal. ‘The second prize was awarded 
to Mrs. McMillan. 
The silver medal offered for the best 
table of roses arranged for effect, by lad- 
ies only, was won by Mrs. George E. 
Cabot, who arranged her display very 
prettilly. Mrs. Gabot was also award- 
ed a certificate of merit for her col- 
lection of herbaceous perennials ar- 
ranged for effect. 
Mrs. W.S. Burgess of Marblehead 
showed a table of roses for which she 
was given a certificate of merit. 
The collection of sweet peas by Mrs. 
McMillan was a very attractive feature 
and won first place in this class. Arthur 
Jackson won second place. 
‘There were some very good displays 
of vegetables, though the vegetables as a 
whole were not largely displayed for 
some reason or other. Mrs. Gordon Ab- 
bott (W. Irwin, gardener), was award- 
ed first place for the general collection of 
vegetables, and Mrs. Philip Dexter (J. 
Salter, gardener), was givensecond place. 
Others who had good displays of veget- 
ables of one kind or another were Mrs. 
W. Scott Fitz, (Walter E. Allen, gar- 
dener), Geptee R. White CF. Gavin, 
vardener), Mrs. M. B. Mason, (John

Pine and Sea streets, respectively, held 
at the selectmen’s office last Saturday 
afternoon brought out much opposition, 
especially as regards Pine street. It is 
proposed to move the Baker house on 
Pine street, just a little way in from Cen- 
tral street, and to widen the street to 40 
feet throughout. Nobody seemed to fay- 
or the plan, not even the petitioners.
