Lenox, Mass., and J. Fraser, of Cedar 

 Court, MAjrristown, N. J. Their work 

 showed careful and accurate judraent 

 and the best of feeling prevailed among 

 the exhibitors in consequence. At the 

 close of the show upwards of $70 was 

 realized from the auction sale of the cut 

 flowers, a welcome addition to the treas- 

 ury. 



The medals offered by Messrs. Moore, 

 Hentz & Nash in conjunction with the 

 society for the actual growers of the 

 flowers were won as follows: 18 Beau- 

 ties. Joseph Rusicka; 12 Bridesmaids, 

 Wra. McGowan; 12 Brides, J. Milton; 

 36 mums, Samuel Redstone. 



These medals are a wonderful help in 

 bringing out exhibits, and it is an award 

 that is highly cherished by the recip- 

 ient and cannot be too highly commend-

 down to the yellow Jlrs. Park, the Tom 

 Thumb yellow being also used, and some 

 pretty I'iaht green Asparagus plumosus 

 strings around the vase, a cluster of 

 dark and bronze flowers being tied with 

 a wide olive green riblxni. This efi'ect 

 was very striking. 



Mr. Rock's vase, which look second,

 blooms, most beautifully and effective- 

 ly arranged. Mr. Murray's vase, which 

 received third, was filled with white and 

 yellow blooms, and \«is very large and 

 showy.

 up pretty much of the same flowers, 

 carnations for the red and white stripes, 

 the blue field of immortelles and cape 

 flowers, one being made of violets and 

 another of ageratum, with the stars of 



which was very fine. Mr. Mangel was 

 third with a vase of Morning Glory and 

 Mme. de Jonghe, a pretty pink variety.

 first and John Mangel second.
