extra prize was awarded Mr. Cattermole for six fruit trees in pots ; the 

 plums and nectarines were very fine. There was a design for a flower- 

 garden, which was much admired, and for which an extra prize was given, 

 we think, to Mr. Cattermole. The place in which the show was held was not 

 altogether the best for the purpose. 



BuRic Eloeal and HoRTicuLTUBAL Snow. — The autumn show of the 

 Bury Eloral and Horticultural Society was held at the Atheuceum, when a 

 manifest improvement could be observed over the last show. One of the 

 tables formerly devoted to stove and greenhouse plants had been removed, 

 and the plants which formerly occupied it were placed on the centre tables, 

 thereby adding greatly to the comfort of the visitors and to the appearance 

 of the show at the same time. There was scarcely a department of the show 

 where the objects shown were not really good. We may particularly instance 

 Mr. Jonathan Openshaw's fuchsias and stove plants ; Mr. H. Moody's lilies 

 and pot roses ; the annuals of Mr. Jonathan Openshaw, the Hector, and Mr. 

 Walkden ; the baskets of flowers and plants, in which a generous rivalry 

 was apparent. The specimens of window plants, particularly the prize 

 fuchsia of Mr. Walkden, also deserve mention. The dahlias, verbenas, and 

 cut flowers were better than we recollect to liave seen at any previous 

 autumn show in Bury. Mr. G. Wike, the liev. E. J. Hornby, Mr. E. E. 

 AshtoD, and the Misses Grundy exhibited some excellent specimens of the 

 hot-house fruit. The apples of Mr. T. Grundy elicited the warmest enco- 

 miums of the visitors during the day. With respect to the vegetables, the 

 cottagers' department rivalled that of Class 2, and in many instances 

 surpassed it. The celery, carrots, and cauliflowers, taken as a whole, were 

 decidedly superior. We are glad to notice this, for it shows that the cottage 

 gardeners are fully alive to the advantages, not only of improved cultivation, 

 but of procuring the best varieties on which to bestow their labour. 



CULTUEE OP THE OEANGE. 



The culture of tlie genus Citrus lias been 

 discussed by those of f^ir greiiter exj.ciience 

 than myself, but it does not follow that all 

 lias been s.aid that need be said upon the 

 subject ; the following remarks, deducL-d 

 from my own practice, I offer, under the 

 impression tliat, in fovouring any par- 

 ticular genus, it is often gratifying to heai-, 

 or to tell, the result of particular treat- 



ment, or liow it beliaves under different 

 circumstances. 



Pirst, with regard to underground 

 trcntment, I find that the orange-tree, as a 

 strong feeder, requires a good hearty soil, 

 but one that admits of a thjrough filtra- 

 tion of air and water. I have seen plants 

 wl)icli were constantly and regularly 

 watered, and yet parts of the soil appeared
