Observing the data provided in both the first and second graphs, which is basically the same, we can conclude the following :

Graph

1 &2

 F1 F2 F3 F4
WB1 3 5 3 2
WB2 1 3 2 5
WB3 4 2 4 1
WB4 2 4 1 2

We can further go ahead with the totals :

Graph

1 &2

 F1 F2 F3 F4 TOTAL
WB1 3 5 3 2 13
WB2 1 3 2 5 11
WB3 4 2 4 1 11
WB4 2 4 1 2 9
TOTAL 10 14 10 10 44

Now, from information no (d), we can conclude that WB2 could only be 24-Parganas

From information no (a), and the knowledge that WB2 is 24-Parganas, we can conclude that WB1 could only be Jalpaiguri

From information no (b) we know that Midnapore had two participants more than Nadia. So we can conclude that WB3 could only be Midnapore and WB4 could only be Nadia 

From information no (c) we know that the participants in Dahlias were four more than the participants in Orchids. Hence we can conclude that F2 could only be Dahlias.

From information no (e) and the knowledge that WB4 is Nadia, we can conclude that F3 could only be Orchids

However, there is no information to let us know who among F1 and F4 were Roses and Lilies respectively

Hence, we can finally conclude :

Graph 1&2

F1

(Roses/Lilies)

F2

(Dahlias)

F3

(Orchids)

F4

(Lilies/Rose)

 TOTAL

WB1

(Jalpaiguri)

 3 5 3 2 13

WB2

(24-Parganas)

 1 3 2 5 11

WB3

(Midnapore)

 4 2 4 1 11

WB4

(Nadia)

 2 4 1 2 9
TOTAL 10 14 10 10 44

Hence, 3 participants of the Agri-Horticulture Flower Show held in Alipore, Kolkata, in the category of Orchids, participated from Jalpaiguri
