Miscellaneous collections of plants and flowers were shown by 

 difl[*erent contributors. From W. C. Strong moss roses, Pyre- 

 thrums and the Lilium aurantiacum; a small but choice collection 

 of pot plants by James McTear ; and Gloxinias, a very pretty 

 plant of Trichinium Manglesii, Amaryllis vitfafa, and cut flowers 

 from J. B. Moore. J. H. Woodford made a splendid display of 

 roses, although not entered for a premium. There were on this 

 stand some of the best flowers ever shown. From Joseph Clai'k 

 were four vases of flowers which were arranged in a very graceful 

 and tasteful manner ; also, a very flne stand of Rhododendrons and 

 Kalmias. J. A. Black contributed a neatly arranged stand of 

 flowers, and James Comley a choice collection of new and rare 

 plants which are mentioned more fully in other parts of this re- 

 port. 



June 27. 



The beautiful stand of roses exhibited to-day by Francis Park- 

 man fully sustained his well earned reputation as a successful 

 grower of the rose. It was a superb collection in every respect. 

 We had also, from the same, two cut specimens of Wistaria frutes- 

 cens var. magnifica, flowers in dense drooping racemes, of a pale 

 lilac, vigorous and perfectly hardy. 



July 2. 



Summer Phloxes — a very good collection — were exhibited by 

 James McTear, composed of distinct and fine varieties. The ex- 

 hibition of cut flowers, bouquets, and baskets of flowers was un- 

 usually good, the contributors being James O'Brien, James Nu- 

 gent, TVIrs. Wood, and Mrs. Joyce. Several other persons ex- 

 hibited smaller collections.
