REPORT OF COMMITTEE OX PLANTS AND FLOWERS. 



113 



The competitors in the classes for large, trained chrvsanthemum 

 plants have almost entirely dropped out, so that it has become 

 necessary to introduce other features to take their place and for 

 this reason in part it was thought best to concentrate as much as 

 possible the principal decorative features of what has heretofore 

 been known as the Annual Exhibition, upon this November Show, 

 as the September Show no longer attracts either the exhibitor or 

 the public as it did some years ago. 



This scheme of merging the two fall shows, as much as possible, 

 into one, proved a decided success this season and made the Novem- 

 ber one a very interesting and profitable affair. In the classes for 

 chrysanthemum blooms the quality has never been surpassed and 

 as a matter of record we herewith give lists of the varieties which 

 were included in the two collections which took first and second 

 prizes respectively in the class for Twenty-five Specimen Blooms, 

 as the varieties enumerated include the best of the kinds grown for 

 exhibition purposes at the present time. The first prize was awarded 

 to R. ^Y. Paterson of Lenox, Mass., and the second to Peter B. 

 Robb, of ^yhitins^'ille, Mass.
