In this department -we propose to grope the 

 offerings of each person and refer the reader to 

 the repoEt of the committee for the awards. The 

 preceding we have arranged the best we could, 

 the Secretaiies and Superintendents of depart- 

 ments not having attempted any classification, 

 our time will not allow of any farther attempt to 

 unravel the mystic web ; and we shall leave the 

 reader to grope his way after us. Had the Sec- 

 retary followed the plan adopted by the very 

 able Secretary of the Illinois State Agricultural 

 Society, our task would have been easy; but we 

 must learn, though in this connection it would 

 be better to bring ripe experience and send the 

 raw ones to some other school.

Louis Pantlan. — To the genius, good taste, 

 and persevering industry of this modest and un- 

 assuming florist the society was indebted for that 

 gem of art, the "Temple of Flora." Without a 

 green house — without the applionces that wealth 

 brings to the aid of the beautiful, in this depart- 

 ment he achieved what no one else had the bold- 

 ness to attempt. That he did it nobly no visitor 

 but will bear willing testimony in his behalf. 

 Louis Pantlan can hold no second place in cor- 

 rect taste and successful culture as a florest. He 

 needs only to be known to be appreciated. In 

 addition to the *'Templc," which required thou- 

 sands of flowers in its structure, Mr. P. contrib- 

 uted :
