. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. BOSTON'S SPRING SHOW. Boses and Orchids Features. Tlic combined exhibitions of the American Hose Society and Massachu- setts Horticultural Society brought out a show which eclipsed even the big one held a year ago, when orchids were the star feature. The halls were all incon- veniently crowded with exhibits. The arrangement was most excellent and superior to that seen at any preceding show, while the wide publicity given brought out a record attendance even with an admission fee of $1. More vis- itors from a distance attended than ever before and this in spite of the fact that the season is an unusually ad- vanced one and trade and private growers arc unusually busy. The three star features of the show were roses, orchids and azaleas. Eoses were of grand quality, although the hot Aveather preceding the exhibition made it impossible for some New York and New Jersey growers to compete. Orchids were numerous and of magnifi- cent quality. The staging of these brought forth much praise. Visitors considered the showing of these de- cidedly ahead of that seen at the great show in March, 1920. Azaleas were a great feature and it was thought by many that both these and orchids out- classed similar displays made in New York. The advanced season materially reduced the exhibits of acacias, cinera- rias, cyclamens, bulbous plants and sehizanthus, but hydrangeas, rhodo- dendrons, carnations, sweet peas and ericas were fine. The Boses. Public interest in roses was never at a higher jntch in Boston than during ?.last week, and although the American Rose Society has had larger displays, yetj considering the warm season, the lateness of the show date and other factors, the displays of both plants and cut flowers were wonderfully fine. For fifty Mme. Butterfly, there was a strong entry and the Florex Gardens .iust won from the William H. Elliott €o. For fifty Crusader, Thomas Roland was first, with the Montgomery Rose Co. a close second.
