Vases of Chrysanthemums Arranged for Effect, a Feature of the Boston Exhibition. ited. This display received a bronze medal. Winterson's Seed Store had au ex- cellent display of foliage plants of various kinds, which filled one corner of the room. This was awarded a bronze medal. In addition to his singles, Chas. H. Totty showed specimen blooms of his new large-flowering varieties, Mrs. J. Purroy Mitchell, Baldwin, Woodside, Mrs. A. S. Watt and Earl Kitchener. Not only were the retailers repre- sented iu the list of awards, but the Ernst Wienhoeber Co. brought to the public's attention the retailer's art by having two of its representatives make up baskets of various kinds with single and pompon chrysanthemums. The tasteful arrangements caught the eyes of the visitors. The judges were N. J. Wietor, Guy French and George Asmus. C. W. John- son was manager. BOSTON. Massachusetts Horticultural Society. While the big blooms and specimen plants were not so much in evidence at the show which opened in Boston, No- vember o, interest in them having de- clined, tlipre was a better show than a year jigo. Specimen blooms wore more largely shown and of much better qual- ity. Single chrysanthemums were splen- did; so were the orchid groups. The groups of flowering and foliage plants showed a marked improvement, and begonias were numerously shown. Re- tailers were out in force, there being eleven entries for the best table decora- tion. The new class for vases arranged tor effect also proved popular. No new chrysanthemums wore shown, althougli there were many inquiries for them, and there were no trade groups from a dis- tance. The attendance of gardeners and florists was as large as ever, but the general public did not patronize it so well as usual, perhaps because there '^ m> "° sensational feature.
