NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
FLOWER AND VEGETABLE SHOW 
es 
Beautiful Display at Summer Show of North Shore Horticultural Society 
This 
The annual summer show of the North 
Shere Horticultural society, Manchester, 
was held at the Essex County club on 
Wednesday and Thursday of the last 
week. The huge tent used by the so- 
ciety for the exhibitions was pitched near 
the School street entrance to the club 
grounds. 
The display of flowers asa whole, was 
very fine and the vegetables were the 
best ever displayed at one of these shows. 
The summary of the prize winners in 
the various classes is given below and on 
page 43 of this issue. The winners of 
the special prizes are also given in the 
summary. While mest of the displays 
might be given special mention in these 
columns lack of space confines us to a 
mention, specially, of only a few of the 
most prominent displays. 
The most striking display as one en- 
tered thetent, was the group of foliage 
and flowering plants, arranged by Mrs. 
Lester Leland, Eric Wetterlow, garden- 
er. This occupied a position in the cen- 
ter of the tent, and won for Mrs. Leland 
the gold medal offered by Lord & Burn- 
ham. 
Another striking group was that of 
Mrs. E. S. Grew, A. E. Parsons, garden- 
er, composed of summer flowering chrys- 
anthemums, grown out of doors. Maid- 
- en hair ferns were scattered among the 
flowers, and a beautiful large cibotium 
scheidei overhung the group from the 
center. Mrs. James McMillan, F. F. 
Brasch, gardener, had a magnificent dis- 
play of annuals and flowers grown from 
seedlings this present season. ‘This oc- 
cupied four tables, and was the largest 
exhibition in the tent. Mrs. McMillan 
won the cup offered by George R. 
White in this class. 
The silver cup offered by the Reading 
nurseries for the best and largest collec- 
tion of named hardy perennials was won 
by William Swan, who also entered a 
number of other prize-winning displays. 
Mrs. Gordon Abbott, William Irwin,
