81 



more than a quarter of a hundred varieties, having all manner of 

 names, and many of them exceedingly beautiful. 



Mr. Hunnewell of Needham, presented an endless variety of 

 cut flowers of rare beauty, not entered for premiums. 



Mr. Fussell of Roxbury, is entitled to a most favorable 

 notice for his excellent specimens, and so are others. 



The tables of the Society assigned to Flora would have been 

 entirely filled, but for the severe frost preceding the night of 

 Exhibition. Mr. Rand had volunteered to supply all deficiencies, 

 and only deferred to ascertain how many might be needed. 



"We have on hand the names of some exquisite Fuschias, pre- 

 sented by Mr. Harris, from Mr. Hunnewell's garden, but they 

 would little benefit the general reader. The Duchess of Lancas- 

 ter, the Climax and Revoluta, the Venus de Medici, in his col- 

 lection, as also in the collection of Mr. Whytal and Miss Watt, 

 besides others common to these principal contributors, are suffi- 

 ciently elegant for any ordinary amateur. 



In conclusion, we congratulate the county of Norfolk in her 

 large number of enthusiastic florists, and in the rich attainments 

 and constant improvements they are continually making. 



For the Committee, 



SAMUEL B. BABCOCK, Chairman.
