FLOWERS. 



In the discharge of our duties as a Committee on Flowers, we cannot, but 

 think it a very fine and beautiful display, considering the early frosts, which 

 must have destroyed them all only by the greatest care, particularly the out- 

 door plants. Hot house plants in this respect have the advantage, being 

 thoroughly protected and appear fresh and bright, and this we think should be 

 consideration in awarding premiums for flowers, although your committee 

 have tried to act impartially, and made our awards according to merit, wishing 

 at the same time we had more money to give in thib department of horticulture. 



The Committee award as follows: 



Stand of Flowers, Mrs Z. Cande, Sheffield, $6 00 



Stand of Cut Flowers. Mrs. J. M. Mackie, Great Barrington, 5 00
