OCTOBER. 295 



Ferns and Lycopods, if not the most showy subjects at an exhibition, 

 are, nevertheless, very desirable auxiliaries to the gay and more showy 

 productions. A room was devoted to these plants, with a miniature 

 fountain playing in the centre, which had a most pleasing effect, the 

 plants exhibited being very good. 



Dahlias being an important feature of this exhibition, it behoves us to 

 notice them somewhat in extenso. They were numerous, but varied 

 much in quality. We subjoin the awards.
