RRPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 1 5 



mentioned two plates of Sharpless entered by Gardner P. Hawkins 

 and Mrs. Dr. Fisher respectively, and which called for a very close 

 decision, the committee finally deciding in favor of Mr. Hawkins, 

 the form of his berries being slightly more characteristic of the 

 variety. 



The only exhibit of ornamental foliaged shrubs, hedge plants, 

 etc., came from the nursery of Mr. Cruickshanks in Lunenburg, 

 and comprised some very fine varieties. There were various other 

 exhibits of pansies, hydrangeas, etc., which included some fine 

 specimens. And much more might be said about the various 

 other things, but space will not permit us to give anything like an 

 adequate description of any but the principal classes.
