286 THE FLORIST AND 



The Committee would call the attention of the Society, to several varie- 

 ties of foreign grapes exhibited, though not in competition, by William 

 Holmes, Esq., grown in the open air. They so nearly approach grapes 

 cultivated under glass, that they are with difficulty distinguished, and form 

 a striking instance of what careful culture can effect. 



Having thus, to the best of their ability, performed their rather ungra- 

 cious and thankless task, your Committee beg leave to express their regret, 

 that competitors have felt themselves at liberty to neglect the liberal terms 

 of the competion, which your Committee are bound to follow. The conse- 

 quence of this is, that exhibitors complain that they are excluded from 

 prizes which the articles are fairly entitled to — and otherwise they are un- 

 fairly treated, and the Committee are exposed to censure they do not deserve.
