Of pom- pons there was but one example in the plants, Mr. Converse's Savannah, but in cut flowers this exhibitor staged a very comprehensive and interesting collection of pompons. A little more care in label- ing might, with good reason, beol)served by some exhibitors. The same varietj- was variously marked by three different exhibitors as Mrs. Traintor, Mrs. j.

A silver medal was also given to Fairmaid. L. E. Small showed a vase of Lawsons of splendid quality. From S. J. Renter came Lawsons and Lillian Pond, from S. J. Goddard, The Queen, and from H. .\. Stevens & Company, Gov. Wolcott. Norris F. Comley showed a very fjne lot of violets in seven varieti
