 Harry Harris. For two heads of cauli- 

 flower — premium was taken by Wm. Rob- 

 ertson, and Robert Forrest secured the 

 first award on collection of vegetables 

 grown under glass. .Special premium was 

 awarded to Hans Reuter for an excep- 

 tionally good collection of (lowering 

 plants, including azaleas, orchids and 

 cypripediums. Special premium was also 

 awarded to James Bell for two vases of 

 violets; these were not called for on the 

 premium list, but were exceptionally fine. 



In addition to these, a number of grow- 

 ers sent carnations as follows: A hand- 

 some vase of fifty Mrs. Thomas W. Law- 

 son was received from Peter Fisher. This 

 bunch was admired by all and certainly 

 showed it had been grown by a master in

 Marquis, Golden Beauty and Slorning 

 Glory. Of this lot, Governor Roosevelt, 

 Mrs. Lawson, Marquis and Morning 

 Glory showed to advantage, while J. H. 

 Manley and Novelty seem to be extra 

 good varieties. 



Messrs. Crabb & Hunter, Grand Rap- 

 ids, Mich., sent their Irene, but, unfor- 

 tunately, the shipment was not received 

 until the following day. This is a flower 

 of exceptionally good color, of good size, 

 and seems to be a good keeper. The 

 writer regrets that these blooms were not 

 received in time for the exhibition. 



At this meeting there was an attend- 

 ance of 93, of whom G4 were gardeners. 

 We feel that this showing augurs well for 

 the success of the society during the com- 

 ing year. Schedule for the fall show, 

 which will be issued shortly, will contain 

 special premiums to the amount of about 

 $200 and also a silver cup. These items 

 are in addition to the regular premiums 

 which will be ofTered by the society.
