This was filled by entering the number called for, though this does not imply that they were 50 fine sorts by any means, on the contrary a good part of them should speedily be consigned to the rubbish heap. Exceptions that may be noted as good and distinct: Tri. de Exposition de Marseilles, Mme. Ed, Andre, Countess de Mun, Mme. Leveque, Countess de Paris and Mme. C. Richard among the French; Sunflower and Mr. C. Orchard are promising English varieties. The New York prize offered bv Peter Henderfon was won by Mr. 11. \V. Rei- man, who displayed good juilf^ment and taste in his arrangement of his collection. Many varieties were shown, but did not differ materially from those mentioned in classes named above. The first question asked by most of the growers present was, "how do the new varieties of this year compare with the old and more recent introductions?" Unquestionably many of the novelties of this year are decided acquisitions and distance the older ones in their respective colors and classes. Mrs. T. C. Price was considered by most to be the finest variety exhibited, it is certainly deserving of much praise; Mrs. Irving Clark, Ivillian li. Bird, Mrs. , Kioto, Violet Rose, Mrs. A. Hartshorn, Excellent, Marj- Wheeler, Sunset, Mrs. Hardy and Mrs. A. Carnegie jump at once to the front as valuable. The banquet and toasts were all in keeping with the excellent arrangements made by the committee, who are greatly indebted to Mr. Williams for untiring efforts to make everything pleasant and successful.
