Section sB'-Cane Is shown ts
In this section there were forty-one
classes, of which the first four devoted
entirely to cane, the balance being de-
voted to ornamental plants, ferns, etc.
The result was an exceptionally attrac.
tive showing, even though in eleven Of
the classes there were no entries. How
ever, the enthusiasm shown by the num-
Der Of entries in certain of the other
classes was the best indication of the
popularity Of this class. In one class
| pot plants-there were twenty exhibits,
in another twelve, in another ten, and
so on, so that to win first prize in any
of these particular classes was an hon.
or of more than ordinary merit.
