282 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



Ample accommodation for the display was provided by the 

 Worcester County Horticultural Society, which gratuitously 

 placed its Hall of Ceres at the disposal of the Board for the 

 display of fruits and vegetables, cereals, etc. The flowers and 

 conifers were placed on side-tables in the Main Hall of Pomona, 

 where the meeting was held, and they proved an attractive 

 and pleasing feature. 



Mr. William C. Strong of Brighton Nurseries contributed 

 twenty-five varieties of evergreens in pots. Among them 

 were many new and rare plants from Japan. The display 

 was the most interesting of its kind ever seen in the halls of 

 the Society. 



Captain John B. Moore of Concord had a rare and interest- 

 ing display of cut-flowers, which were much admired ; and 

 the exhibition, in its several features, proved very attractive 

 to all who attended the meetings. 



The Committee deem it impracticable to particularize the 

 merits of the many contributions, but will mention some dis- 

 played on the tables as follows : —
