The Committee on Flowers respectfully re-
port:
That they have discharged their very de-
lightful duty, with much satisfaction. That
the display of flowers exhibited to the Con-
vention has been very fine and extensive, when
the period of the year and the peculiarly I'M
favorable season are considered The Com
mlttee examined with great interest and ad-
lniration the splendid exhibition of Mrs. j. II.
Peck of various flowers, elegant boquets and
most tasteful floral designs. They beg to ex-
press their admiration, more distinctly, from
the fact, that being only presented for exhibit
ton, they are deprived the pleasure of awarding
Mrs. Peck the premiums to which she would
have been entitled.
The show of flowers from Mrs IIoughton,

superior Seeding Dahlia>, presented by the
