GLASGOW AND WEST OF SCOTLAND HORTICUL- 

 TURAL SOCIETY. 



The summer Qovalfite of the Glasgow and West of Scotland Horticultural Society 

 took place on Tuesday the 2d May, in the City Hall, Glasgow, and was an ex- 

 tremely successful exhibition. 



The prizes offered were for house plants, cut flowers, bouquets. Grapes, and 

 vegetables. The chief contributions to the show were the collections of plants 

 from Mr Peter Denny of Helenslee. Dumbarton (Mr John Sutherland, gardener), 

 and from Mr Thomas Coates of Ferguslie (Mr William Dickson, gardener). A 

 fine specimen of the Fan Palm ornamented the centre of the Ferguslie collection, 

 and at each end of the table was a specimen of the Thief Palm. The plants were 

 all exceedingly well grown and beautifully arranged. The Helenslee collectiou 

 included the finest foliage plant in the exhibition — a magnificent Croton ; and 

 another commanding object was a splendid specimen of the Cyathea dealbata, 

 admired for the beautiful white shading of its foliage. Messrs J. & R. Thyne, 

 Woodside Nurseries, contributed an elegant assortment of plants. Messrs Smith 

 & Simons were also forward in excellent style ; and on the platform a large and 

 varied assortment of plants was exhibited from the Botanic Gardens, Among 

 the general collections, foliage Geraniums were specially attractive, particularly 

 the Castlemilk assortment, which again carried off the prize. The Ferns and 

 Heaths were well grown, even the rarest varieties. Tulips were not very remark- 

 able, the season having been much against them, but the first prize lot for twelve 

 blooms, shown by Mr David Draper, Falkirk, were well deserving the honour 

 awarded them. Mr Rennie's second and third lots were also meritorious. Cut 

 Rhododendrons were a small show, and several of them were past the bloom.
