ito attribute til. success Of Trenton
flower culture to the soil. We some
times hear them say oh, the Tren-
ton ladies can raise flowers, they
have such suitable. soil" They can
not. attribute the good cooking to
the soil, and the probability is that
the same intelligence that produced
the fine chicken salad, was brought
to bear on the culture of chrysan-
themums which brought about such
magnificent results. 1t was not pos:
sible for the judges to remain long
enough to ascertain all the good re-
suits of the fair and the financial
SUCCESS, but we hope that this pleas
ant occasion will always remain an
annual-onegiu the future history Of
Trenton.
