FLOWERS. 



Whole number of entries, 26. 



The committee on flowers, in discharging their duty, were embarrassed by 

 an unusually large and beautiful display. There were 26 exhibitors. There 

 were two exhibitions of rare hot-house plants, from Mr. J. M. Mackie and 

 Messrs. Morgan & Beer, in the opinion of the committee of equal merit and 

 deserving of special mention. But as the funds in your committee's hands 

 would not permit of an adequate premium, they would present in your behalf 

 the thanks of the society for the additional interest given to this department 

 by their exhibition, in lieu thereof. Indeed, your committee feel that they 

 are much indebted, and thanks are due, to all the lady and gentleman contribu- 

 tors for a very interesting feature of our annual fairs, one that shows a beauti- 

 ful evidence of refinement and intelligence. The committee award as follows :
