North Shore’s Annual Flower Show. 
Remarkable Fine Showing at North Shore Horticultural Society’s Annual Sum- 
mer Flower Show Wednesday and Thursday.—The Prize Winners. 
The annual exhibition of flowers, 
fruit and vegetables, under the aus- 
pices of the North Shore Horticul- 
tural society was held Wednesday 
and Thursday of this week in a large 
tent pitched on the ‘polo field’’ at 
the Essex County club. While the 
display was not larger than usual 
the exhibit as a whole was one of the 
finest the society has ever held. Be- 
sides the exhibits in the regular 
classes there were numerous specials. 
Mrs. Lester Leland was one of the 
most successful exhibitors. She was 
awarded a silver cup for the best col- 
lection of gladioli, named varieties, 
the exhibit filling two tables. She 
also took first prizes for best six 
pots of sword ferns and best collec- 
tion hollyhocks. A magnificent group 
of foliage and flowering plants ar- 
ranged in a high mound won for her 
the gold medal offered. She was also 
given numerous other prizes in the 
regular classes. 
Miss Helen Hooper won many 
prizes, too. No other exhibit at- 
tracted more attention than a table 
of fruit, probably the finest ever 
shown here, which included three 
varieties of hothouse grapes, some 
of the bunches weighing 514 pounds 
each, and seven varieties of green- 
house-grown musk melons of English 
varieties, besides nectarines, plums 
and other fruit. She also took first 
prize for the best six vases of gladio- 
li and numerous other prizes in the 
smaller exhibits. 
Mrs. James MeMillan won a silver 
eup offered by George P. White for 
the best collection of annuals. This 
- eollection embraced over 100 varie- 
ties and was declared the finest ever 
. shown here. 
There was considerable competi- 
tion for dinner table decorations and 
- geveral very handsome exhibits were 
noted. The silver cup for best deco- 
ration of eight, covers was secured

plays were of special merit and of 
more than passing interest. The 
principal prize, a-silver cup offered 
for the largest collection, was won 
by Mrs. Lester Leland, who had a 
magnificent display. Mrs. 8. V. R. 
Crosby also won a silver cup offered 
for the best collection of vegetables 
of 20 varieties. 
A unique exhibit was entered by 
Mrs. W. Scott Fitz, a vegetable bou- 
quet, which was made up of a large 
variety of vegetables cut in perfect 
semblance to roses and many other 
varieties of flowers. This was sur- 
rounded by five large potted fuchias 
in a great mass of bloom. She was 
awarded honorable mention for the 
first and a certificate of merit for 
the latter exhibit.
