Spring Exhibition. 



The Spring Exhibition was held March 24 to April 4. A Gold 

 Medal was awarded to R. & J. Farquhar & Co. for a Japanese 

 Garden and the Society's Special Diploma to James F. M. Farquhar 

 for horticultural skill in the carrying out of the work. It was a 

 notable achievement and the design displayed wonderful artistic 

 ability. Remarkable foresight and skill were shown in the prepara- 

 tion and assemblage of the plants. A partial list of the plants 

 used in its construction is herewith appended.
