NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
Le 
ROSE SHOW. 
(Continued from Page1.) 
strawberry show of the North Shore 
Horticultural society. The exhibition 
was one of the most successful yet 
given under the auspices of the society. 
Scores of the fashionable contingent 
saw the exhibition in the afternoon 
and were manifestly interested in the 
display. In the evening the hall was 
thronged by the townspeople. 
Among the largest exhibitors this 
year were Mrs. W. B. Walker, who 
was awarded nine firsts and two sec- 
ond prizes; Mrs. Robert C. Hooper, 
who took six firsts and two seconds, 
and was given an honorary mention 
for display of achimenes; Mrs. Philip 
Dexter, who captured seven firsts, 
four seconds and an honorable men- 
tion for display of cut flowers; Mrs. 
H. L. Higginson, four firsts and one 
one second; Mrs. Gardner M. Lane, 
three firsts and one second ; Mrs. John 
L. Thorndike, Mr. F. M. Whitehouse, 
Miss A. G. Thayer and others. 
Though primarily a rose and straw- 
berry show, there was as well a very 
creditable showing of hardy plants. 
The display of strawberries was rather 
small. Mrs. Higginson (Theodore 
Voorenveld, gardener) had a nice col- 
lection of the Marshall strawberry, 
while Mrs. Thorndike (Mr Owens, 
gardener) had a fair display of Bran- 
dywines. 
The arrangement of the flowers in 
the hall, done under the direction of 
Mr. W. B. Jackson, was noticeably 
good. Ona table in front of the en- 
trance as one entered the hall were ar- 
ranged collections of gloxinia, pelar- 
goniums, achimenes, etc., while to the 
right on tables were displayed the 
roses. On the left of the entrance 
were most of the hardy plants, while 
on the stage were collections of sweet 
williams and several varieties of hardy 
plants from the Dexter farm. 
The handsome silver cup offered by 
fie) Troy ‘of New Rochelle; N-Y.,; 
for the best display of garden-grown 
roses, not less than ten varieties, four 
blooms each, was awarded to Mrs. 
James McMillan (F. Brasch, garden- 
er). This cup must be won three 
time before becoming the absolute 
property of the exhibitor. 
Mrs. W. B. Walker (Thos. Jack, 
gardener) had an exceptionally fine dis- 
play of tea roses. Mrs. Hooper (Wm. 
Swan, gardener) made a very credita- 
ble showing of herbaceous flowers, 
and had a fine collection of Canter- 
buy Bells. 
he display of roses arranged for 
effect, filling one society table, was 
easily one of the features of the ex- 
hibition. Mrs. Higginson was award- 
ed the silver medal offerred in this 
class, and Mrs. McMillan the bronze 
medal. Miss Bartlett (Bernard Riley, 
gardener) had an excellently arranged 
table in this class, arranged by her- 
self. She was awarded an honorable 
mention. Miss Bartlett has very kind- 
ly presented the society with vases of 
several sizes for the display of flowers. 
A collection of pelargoniums, dis- 
played in pot by Miss Thayer (Jas. 
Macgregor, gardener) attracted much 
attention, as did also the display of 
gloxinia by Mr. Black, who was 
awarded a special mention. 
T. Jefferson Coolidge, (Philemon 
Sanborn, gardener,) was awarded first 
prize for his excellent display of fox- 
gloves, twelve spikes. 
F. M. Whitehouse (Henry Men- 
ken, gardener) was awarded first 
prizes for his display of roses in bas- 
ket, arranged for effect, and also for 
his display of roses in vase. 
There was a very creditable show- 
ing of vegetables, in which classes the 
Dexter farm (Mr. Salter, gardener), 
Mrs. Curtis (Edw. P. Hooper, garden- 
er), and Mrs. G. M. Lane (Herbert 
Shaw, gardener) had the best displays. 
A new feature of the show this year 
was the display ot aquatics. John S. 
Hay, representing Henry A. Dreer of 
Philadelphia, had a collection of some 
25 varieties of nymphzeas, which at- 
tracted considerable attention. These 
plants are not grown to any extent in 
this locality, and they were regarded 
with much interest. Among the dis- 
play were: “Mrs. C. W. Ward,” 
‘William Stone,” ‘“Gracilis” and 
‘Pulcherrima,” of the day blooming 
species; ‘‘Frank Trelease,”’ ““Marana,”’ 
and “Sturtevanti,” of the night bloom- 
ing, and ‘“‘ Marliacea Flammea’”’ (red), 
“ Marliacea Chromatella” (yellow), 
“ Tuberosa Rubia” (soft red), and 
“Tuberosa Richardsoni’’ (white), of 
the hardy species. Interspersed with 
these were some water hyacinths, 
water lettuce and cyperus papyrus, 
commonly known as Egyptian paper 
lant. 
The exhibition was withal one of the 
finest yet seen in Manchester. The 
impression seems to be growing that 
future shows of the Society should be 
continued for two days instead of one.
