All were good, the competition in 

 some of the classes being so keen that 

 vases which would ordinarily have been 

 prize winners were unnoticed". Upstairs,

 exquisite in color, with deep green foli- 

 age, and the Floral Exchange had two 

 vases of Queen of Edgely, the flowers 

 in one of them being cut the week be- 

 fore.

 few in number. Ethel Crocker, General
