g m FLORAL HALE H. 9H INT /
The floral department, under the charge of
the Horticultural Society, will not be. sur
passed by any of the previous shows. We
have no doubt this Society will fully maintain
her deservedly high reputation, for her rich
floral and genealogical wealth, as well as her
taste and talent in their attractive a,rang-
ment and display. We learn that the Com
mercial Nurseries Of Dubuque will have on
exhibition specimens Of fruit, ornamental and
evergreen trees. Also they will send some
fine cultivated boquets, and specimens of
dahlias, for the above department.

their entries made, and receive tickets marked

article belongs and these cards must be at
tached to the articles exhibited.
81 MAKE ENTRIES EARLY.
Exhibitors will save much Inconvenience,
both to themselves and the Secretary, by
having a list of their articles made out in
writing, to hand in. at the time of making
their entries; and also, by making their en-
tries few days previous to the time for hold
ing the Fair. Should this be done in every
case, there would still be left work enough
for the Executive Committee to do on the
first day of the Fair. Entries may be made
at any time after the 10th Of September, by
calling on the Secretary, or by forwarding
lists accompanied with the entrance fees.
