REPORT OF COMMITTEE OF ARRANGEMENTS. 349 



case of his failui*e to do so, he unsettles the plans of the Committee 

 in the arrangement of the halls, causing much confusion. The 

 object of our exhibition is to present to the public an acceptable 

 grouping of plants and flowers, which shall be pleasing to the eye 

 in detail, and at the same time be so arranged as to make each 

 hall attractive as a whole. If one entry fails it leaves a gap, 

 and the grouping is thereby rendered incomplete, and the Com- 

 mittee are blamed for want of good taste in their arrangements. 



The progress we are making in the noble art of Horticulture will 

 be pointed out b}^ the Chairmen of the other Committees. We 

 have no doubt that we are making progress in the right direction 

 by the production of improved varieties of Fruits, Flowers, and 

 Vegetables.
