1874.] REPORT ON PLANTS, FLOWERS>^ 



■-. < 



Special notice should be made of the floral design by Mi"*. David Scott. 

 The Committee would suggest fewer flowers in the arrangement. The 

 design was beautiful, and added much to the appearance of the Hall, but 

 was too compact for taste. 



The design by Mrs. C. L. Hartshorn was entered too late for com- 

 petition; so also the very finely arranged dish from Miss Sus-an Chamber- 

 lain. 



Mrs. M. H. Morse contributed a fine wall bouquet of Asters; also a 

 well arranged dish of Petunias. 



Mrs H. B. Buck's standard dish was very tastily arranged, as was the 

 basket of Zonale Geraniums by Mrs. W. Y. Holman. 



The stand of cut flowers by Mrs. Jonathan Fawcett attracted universa 

 notice. The entry was made too late for competition. 



One of the finest contributions was a basket of Tea Roses, from Miss 

 M. J. Fox; beautiful, as her contributions always are. 



No fault could be found with the dish of cut flowers from Miss E. 

 White, or with the arrangement of flowers by Mrs. Charles Gilbert. 



Mrs. Morey, of Shrewsbury, one of our constant contributors, deserves 

 special notice for her interest in the success and welfare of the Society. 



The Committee regret that they have not the means at their disposal to 

 award premiums and gratuities to the above and many more contributors, 

 of which the time will not allow further notice. We hope the time is not 

 far distant when all shall be rewarded for their trouble and interest.
