158 Exhibitions of the Columbian and N. Y. Hort. Societies. 



Messrs. M. Floy & Son — Forty-two imported varieties, many of which 

 were quite new, very fine and beautiful. ]\Iessrs. Floy would have exhibited 

 a greater number of varieties, but unfortunately the Dahlias at their nursery, 

 in HarJjein, were destroyed i)y the frost. 



Mr. A. Arnold — Fifty-four imported varieties, many of which were new, 

 and very iieautiful ; also, seven tine Seedling varieties, two of which were 

 first rate flowers.

 and all of them very fine specimens ; also, thirteen Seedling varieties, some 

 of them remarkably fine and good.

 beautiful specimens.

 new, very fine and beautiful specimens. 



Mr. G. Davis — Eleven imported varieties, all of them very good speci- 

 mens. 



Mr. Wm. Neale — Twelve imported varieties, very fine specimens. These

 the rules,

Mr. G. C. Thorburn — imported varieties, many of them new, and 



all of them very fine specimens, especially the Queen of the Dahlias, which 

 is unrivalled as a variegated flower. Th(!se would have obtained a premium, 

 but they were not entered for competition. 



The above comprises all the flowers presented for competition or exhi- 

 bition; but Messrs. Hogg, Reed, Floy, and Neale, also furnish several hun- 

 dred flowers for filling up the table, and the greatest ))art of these flowers 

 were equally as good specimens as those ])resented for competition.
