NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
17 
N. S. Horticultural Society. 
The regular meeting of the North 
Shore Horticultural society held in Lee’s 
hall, Manehester, last Friday evening, 
was one ‘of the most successful for a 
longtime. More interest was manifest 
and there was a large crowd out,—due, 
no doubt, to the activity on the part of 
the discussion committee, who are deter- 
mined to make the meetings this winter 
of vital importance to all the members. 
Wilfred Wheeler of Concord, a 
wholesale grower of fruits, wasthe speak- 
er, and he took for his subject “* Fruit 
and Fruit Trees.’’ His discourse, giv- 
en in a plain informal way, wasof a very 
interesting nature. He _ explained his 
talk by showing samples of the points he 
wished to emphasize. Among the 
things shown were samples of the oldest 
known varieties of apples and pears, 
gathered in northern China and _ Siberia. 
He showed these to show the difference 
between the original fruit and that which 
we know today. The Siberian apple, 
incidentally, is exceedingly small, not 
much larger than our black currant, but 
it is perfectly formed and resembles in a 
general way our fruit. 
There was a display of dahlias by 
James Mcgregor, 
and Patrick Corrigan 
brought in a display of hardy chrysan- 
themums from the G. E. Cabot estate. 
A mammoth pumpkin was brought in by 
A. E. Parsons, gardener at Ek. S. Grew’s. 
It weighed 81 pounds, and is said to be 
the largest ever grown in Manchester. 
It was grown from a Boddington Mam- 
moth King pumpkin seed. Messrs. 
Mcgregor and Corrigan were awarded 
certificates of merit. 
The Question Box was instituted at 
this meeting, but it was not overworked. 
It will be in good working condition with- 
in a few meetings, it is hoped. 
John Farquhar of Boston will be the 
speaker at the meeting next Friday even- 
ing, Oct. 16.

The G. A. R. Associates will meet 
at G. A. R. hall next Thursday evening, 
Oct. 15, to organize and make plans for 
the winter. It is very likely that the 
pitch tournament, which in the past has 
been of so much interest, will again be 
a part of the entertaining features of 
these gatherings. “Those who desire to
