FLOWERS.
Following is the report of the commit
tee on floral display;
The committee on floral display beg
leave to report that the general exhibit,
coming in advance of the season, was
truly surprising for its variety and eA-
cellence.
About forty varieties OF roses, many
of spireas, calendulas, tagetas, geran-
iums, pelergoniums, hyacinths, lilies,
ranunculas, sparaxias, ixius, cacti, aloe,
violets, lilaos, verbenas, crysanthenums,
white and purple wisterias, pansies,
nasturtiums, cobeas and stocks, were ex-
hibited in lavish abundance.
Two magnificent floral baskets from
Mrs. DIR. Allen and Mrs. j. NJ. Glass,
deserve special mention. Others, the
joint work OF Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Elma
Ball, Mrs. A. Williamson, Mrs. c. C.
Thompson, Mrs. S. o. McGrew and Mrs.
Morrison, were greatly admired. Mrs.
Groesbeck sent basket, which was a
model of dainty elegance.
Your Committee labored under the
embarrassment of riches in awarding the
premiums for floral designs.
Mrs. Williams sent floral chair
tapestried in a pattern of the most deli
cate and varied bloom; globe of roses;
a star in all shades of orange and yell
low; a silvery crescent.
Mrs. Collins design, an OK yoke, was
exquisitely wrought OF violets, white
stocks, pink rosebuds and marguerites,
relieved by smilaX.
Another design, sent by Mrs. Groes.
beck, was an umbre la, wrought of blue
bells, white banksia roses, with fringe
of rosebuds and pomegranates.
Still another, bow and arrow, was
made of delicate wild flowers.
Your Committee consider Mrs. Will
liams entitled to the silver medal for the
largest and best display, and recommend
the red ribbon decoration to Mrs. Groes-
beck for the execution and excellent
taste of her exhibit.
The exquisite roses and cnt flowers
contributed by Mrs. Rosenbaum, fully
sustained the high reputation of those
well known culturists, but arrived too
late for a more extended notice. The
same is true of Mrs. Gardner's superb
column of Gala lilies.
