 Society were awarded and competition in some of the classes was 

 remarkable. In the class for six specimens of tomatoes there were 

 92 entries, and in eleven classes for single plates or specimens of 

 vegetables there were 473 entries. In the class for the best col- 

 lection of four varieties of vegetables there were 42 entries. 



In the classes for flowers the competition was also keen. There 

 were 50 entries for the five prizes offered for a vase of dahlias. 

 The quality of the products exhibited showed a wonderful improve- 

 ment over previous years. During the show several of the judges 

 gave advice to the children in selecting and arranging their exhibits, 

 a work which could be continued with good results.
