an ealarci in this extraordinary summer we are ex-
periencing ; the more homely products of the green-
house and gardens showed • wealth of beauty all their
own; the rich and fragrant display of fruits presented
attractions of a most interesting nature; while the
produco of the oottagers, indicating good cultivation
and highly successful results, made up an exhibition
