 were awarded for the best undisseminated seedlings as follows — 

 F. R. Pierson for 25 pink, Joseph H. Hill Co. for 25 white, Noe

The Tea Garden was as usual a centre of attraction and did 

 a thriving business. It was beautifully decorated with ever- 

 greens festooned over the walls and pillars and with subdued 

 colored lights. 



An exhibit of a city yard "before and after" created much 

 interest — half of it represented the usual city yard filled with 

 tin cans, papers and rubbish — the other half showing the re- 

 juvenated yard with a small fountain in the centre, vines hiding 

 the unsightly fence, pots of clipped box and window boxes of 

 gay flowers.
