of select social standing, and all the 

 exhibits were grown by them without 

 the assistance of a skilled gardener. 

 There were 65 exhibitors, the exhibits 

 being divided into 53 classes, all for 

 outdoor-grown flowers. The largest 

 exhibits were of paeonies, iris, dian- 

 thus, delphiniums, and collections of 

 perennials. The show was very large- 

 ly attended, society turning out in 

 large numbers. The proceeds go tow- 

 ards providing a teacher in Horticul- 

 ture, for the public schools in Lower 

 Merion. These ladies' clubs are doing 

 an excellent work, creating great en- 

 thusiasm and, from this small start, it 

 is anticipated a new Horticultural So- 

 ciety will be formed, several prominent 

 gentlemen already agreeing to put up 

 a building. Two large pieces of ground 

 have been donated for the purpose ol 

 leaching the children of the schools 

 how to grow plants and flowers.
