 shanks — a Cup, valued at SIO.OO, the name of the contribu- 

 tor not to be attached to the plants, Mrs. C. W. Hamilton. 10 00 



Although special pains was taken by the Committee of Arrangements 

 to equalize the space allotted to the several departments, yet on receiv- 

 ing the contributions they were obliged to compress, very much to the 

 dissatisfaction of the contributors, and also to the annoyance of those 

 whose duty it was to assign a place and space for everything offered. 

 The Committee, however, were pleased to see not only new contributors 

 to our collections, but contributions of new and rare varieties outside the 

 County, increasing both the attraction and interest of our Annual Exhi- 

 bitions. Competition for premiums is open to all. With this understand- 

 ing the Committee have awarded the above premiums. The gratuities 

 are as follows: 



To Messrs. C. E. Hovey of Boston, James Comley of Lexing- 

 ton, for their fine collection of Ornamental Foliage Plants, 



a gratuity of (each) ^10 00
