Mr. Wm King’s collection was the smallest, but contained 
some of the finest plants on exhibition. His carnations were 
superior to any others, but they were only four in number. 
The premium required five plants. In his display were the 
following: Myrtus Communis, Cissus Discolor, Terrana 
Asiatica, Pteris Argyra Variegata, Isolepsis Gracilis, several 
varieties of Dracaena and trailing mosses. 
It will be seen that no attempt has been made to give a 
full list of the plants of any contributor, and the small number 
mentioned must not be considered as any disparagement of 
the collection it applies to. Where all did so well, the com- 
mittee would have had a hard duty to perform if rules had 
not been laid down for their guidance. It was a great pleasure 
to learn that the demand for flowers and plants is increasing 
in this community, and that florists are yearly adding to their 
resources to supply the demand. The love of flowers is al- 
most universal, and the cultivated taste requires the choicest 
for its gratification. For the purposes of decoration we use 
them on every possible occasion, from the cradle to the grave. 
Our wives and daughters are more attractive to our eyes 
when we ornament them with beautiful flowers, and the 
pleasure to them is greater in proportion as the flowers are 
rare and choice. And in sickness when our friends remember 
us by sending or bringing their choice floral gifts, the great 
pleasure can be known only to those who have experienced it. 
Before closing this report, two illustrations of the different 
_ ways that people look at plants may not be out of place. A 
lady friend who had been admiring the splendid display came
