TRANSACTIONS OF THE SOCIETY. 159 



bouquet of vegetables, composed of ears of corn, cabbages, carrots, beets, 

 asparagus, &c., producing a very pleasing effect, and worthy of a place in 

 one of the new marble vases, which it occupied. Dahlias, some of them 

 finC; and other cut flowers in variety. Also, a Bouquet of French mari- 

 golds and evergreens, and others of different construction ; one large pyra- 

 midal Bouquet, composed of Dahlias of every shade, very beautiful. 



From AValker & Co., a Chinese Pagoda. This was a very beautiful de- 

 sign, finished principally with moss, and decorated with flowers. The China 

 tea merchant, who stood in the centre of the structure, politely bowing his 

 head to the crowd of spectators, attracted as much attention as the building 

 itself. Four fine plants of Fuchsia, placed at the four corners of the design 

 within the structure, added much to the beauty of the whole. The design 

 and decorations were in perfectly good taste. 



From R.^West, by Mr. Sheehan, a Gothic Monument fourteen feet high. 

 The architecture of this design was perfect ; it made a fine appearance ; 

 was finished with moss, evergreens, and flowers. This, as well as the 

 other designs, was much admired, and did credit to the author. 



From Thomas Motley, Jr., by John Galvin, a Gothic Bower. This de- 

 sign was finished with moss and flowers ; it was placed at the door to the 

 private stairway, forming a fine Gothic Arch. 



From S. A. Walker, one hundred feet of Wreathing, composed of cocks- 

 combs, amaranths, French marigolds, evergreen, and other permanent ma- 

 terials. It was tastefully suspended in the centre of the top of the hall 

 between the chandeliers. Also, a beautiful flat fancy design of large 

 dimensions, presenting a surface wrought with asters, amaranths, and 

 other flowers, with the words "Horticultural Exhibition, 1846," inscribed 

 in a border around it, wrought with immortal flowers : on the top of the 

 design was an eagle composed of flowers : this was the best flat design in 

 the room. Also, a beautiful pyramidal Bouquet for one of the Bradlee 

 vases, cockscombs, dahlias, and other cut flowers. 



From Samuel Walker, a large flat Bouquet for the walls. 



From Miss R. Bowker, a large pyramidal Bouquet composed of over 60 

 varieties of native grasses and grains. Also, a circular Wreath of great 

 beauty of the same materials. These productions were arranged with 

 much taste, and very much admired. 



From John D. Williams, by James McNeil, a large flat design repre- 

 senting a vase and Bouquet wrought with asters, amaranths, marigolds, 

 zinnias, dahlias, and other flowers of high colors, producing a brilliant 

 effect. 



From William Kenrick, an ancient Lyre, wrought with evergreen and 

 immortal flowers, — a very beautiful design. Also, a fine Harp, wrought 

 with evergreens, (beautiful.) the same as exhibited last year.
