MUM not awarded, the collection not
considered up to premium standard.
The Committee on Special Exhibits
makes public the following state
ment: "The entries by amateurs,
while very creditable, were not
considered up to premium standard,
and therefore no awards are made. 1t is
hoped by the management that another
year will see far larger number COM
petiDg for premiums, having greater
knowledge, through rhs present exhibi-
ton, OF the capacities of this beautiful
flower and its generous response to care
and culture"
