The winner of first prize laid each variety loosely between sheets: of damp, paper which r kept them fresh, as well as aided' the com mittee in displaying them in the bottles and vases provided. The winner of second prize lost a few poinfs by having simply fo liage or seed pods where the pre mium called for flowers. ; Not only was the contest Inter esting and instructive to the chil dren but was the subject of favor able comment from visitors all the afternoon. One mother re marked: i I used to go flower picking with my children and gather all we could see; but now we; pick only a-few i of each variety and leave the rest to propagate. L- A tourist from the east was so en raptured that he J resolved 1 then and there to locate here and get out In theJ woods next td nature.
