among which were fine specimens of Coleus Blumeii, Cissus discolor, Alla- 

 manda Aubletia, &c. From E. A. Story, 25 plants and 20 asters. From 

 M. Trautman, 30 plants, including a fine specimen of Nierembergia. From 

 W. J. Underwood, 14 asters. From Jona. French, 15 plants, of which 10 

 were good large heaths. 



Floral Designs, Bouquets, &c. : The floral designs were only four in 

 number, though prizes were offered for six. Messrs. Evers 6i, Bock had a 

 Floral Temple, well proportioned and neatly made, which was much ad- 

 mired. W. A. Bowditch had a Chinese Pagoda, elaborately worked with 

 moss and fine flowers. Mr. W. J. Underwood had a Fancy Piece, not so 

 showy, so much labor in its construction as the others, but richly decorated 

 with the finest flowers. Messrs. Galvin & Hogan had a representation of 

 Bunker Hill Monument, but not well proportioned to have a good effect ; it 

 was covered with crimson and white amaranthuses, blocked out to repre- 

 sent stone. The other designs were smaller, and many of them very 

 pretty. 



The bouquets were inferior to those of previous years, but the asters and 

 dahlias were exceedingly fine. We have no space to enumerate the con- 

 tributors.
