Dahlias be stricken from the list. So many other flowers, 

 more beautiful and popular, have taken their place in modern 

 garden culture, and whatever premiums are given should be 

 awarded to more desirable varieties of flowers. 



Your Committee found their duty one of considerable dif-* 

 ficulty and labor, and desire to return their thanks to Mr. Ed- 

 ward Flynn, for his valuable assistance. 



The exhibition made by A. H. Dunlap & Son deserves 

 honorable mention, although under the rules no premium 

 could be awarded them. Their exhibit of Asters, Larkspurs, 

 Snapdragons, etc., was especially fine. 

 For the Committee, 



Mes. Joseph S. Howe, Chairman.
