liant display of dahllas by Myers and

them. Mrs. Eggert presents hand bOu

the many friends who have presented
such lovely flowers; for so inadequately
expressing our admiration and apprecf-
alton, as we find it impossible to specify
all or do justice to such beautiful col
lection. MRS. G. s. LESTER.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON BERRIES.
Your Committee ON Berries find on
exhibition only one variety of Rasp-
berries, viz: the Cuthbert, by B. T. Ber-
lien, of Louisville, a variety that is
now admitted by growers to be taking
the lead of all the Reds. A fine, large,
somewhat eOnical and finely favored
berry, and sufficiently firm to bear
transportation to our home markets.
Blackberries, three varieties, by the
same, namely: Snyder, which is the earl
lest of all the BlackberTies; this being
about the last picking and very good
berry; Wilson Blackberry, the next in
eaTliness, and the LawtOn, an old and
we'll known variety in this vicinity.
Would add that they are all fine speci-
mems of their kind.
