Only three Vegetable and two Flower gardens by professionals were en- 

 tered. For any one who has not had the privilege of enjoying the courtesy 

 and kindness of being shown all the professional work of these professional 

 gardeners, it was a great pleasure ; besides new ideas may be laid up for 

 future use. 



About those Flower Gardens, we cannot close this report without making 

 a suggestion. Your committee are of the opinion, and urgently recommend 

 that, in the future, two ladies and one gentleman be the committee for all 

 gardens. 



Ladies that are interested and have made a study of the cultivation of 



flowers, are certainly more competent to serve on that committee, besides 



giving them an opportunity of social acquaintance with others interested in 



the beauty of flowers. As to the Vegetable Garden, what woman is there 



who does not know a good Vegetable Garden, and with a gentleman and a 



good conveyance to carry them over the county, would be a new departure 



in the right direction. 



H. A. Barton, for the Committee.
