In the class for the best single blooms of each of the six classes some remark- 
ably fine flowers were staged. The premier flamed flower was bizarre Sir J. Paxton,

bybloomen Glory of Stakehill, and rose Annie Macgregor and Hepworth’s 169. The 
premier flower in the breeder classes was Dr. Hardy, exhibited by Mr. Haynes.
