HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITS AT THE STATE FAIR. 



STAGED BY THE STATE HOPvTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Horticultural Hall was taxed to its capacity to house the fruit and 

 floral products offered for exhibition. More than 3,500 plates of fruit 

 were shown on the tables and every plate exhibited was entered for pre- 

 miums. Practically every class was filled and less than $50 of the 

 money offered was not taken. 



The fruit was exceptionally clean and well colored, due to spraying 

 and sunshine, but was slightly below normal size owing to the drouth. 

 A few boxes of apples were shown, packed according to western style 

 and attracted much attention. 



Five car-loads of plants and flowers were exhibited, making the 

 largest display of greenhouse productions shown at the state fair for 

 several years. The display of cut flowers and designs were exceptionally 

 fine and excited much admiration.
