Bouquets — One of the prettiest sights is the collection of bouquets, placed 

 on a circular table in a central part of the hall. In front of this table, in 

 an ornamental stand of painted wicker work, T. Dunlap, of 634 Broadway, 

 exhibits one particularly beautiful. On the large stand behind, mentioned 

 above, are grouped various handsome bouquets, some in fancy baskets, and 

 others in porcelain vases. The most unique and original article among them 

 is a pyramidal structure of flowers, exhibited by Mrs. J W. Faulkner, 

 Stamford, Conn. ; the base and plat on which it stands formed of flowers of 

 every imaginable hue, and the top, or rather the spire, of the pyramid, for 

 such was the idea of the shape that it conveyed, consisted of a pretty variety 

 of the common digitalis or foxglove.
