improvement if this class were thrown open to 
border flowers, as w’ell as to show Carnations and 
Picotees, Selfs and Fancies. Its principrl object is 
to secure a good lit ad of blooms and to show these 
fragrant and favourPe flowers in the best condition 
as decorative plants for the conserva ! ory. The class 
should, therefore, be occupied not so much by florist 
cultivators as cultivators of decoradve plants, and 
especially by amateurs.
