HORTICULTURAL EXHIBITIONS. 

 The spring exhibition of the Hanoverian Band and Floral Fete 

 Committee was held at Sydney Gardens, Bath, on May 11. We have 

 so often had to speak in praise of the public spirit and liberality of this 

 Committee, that, on the present occasion, we can only repeat that their 

 arrangements were all that could be wished for, and their liberal list of 

 prizes was responded to by a magnificent display of plants, filling 

 several large tents. The Azaleas were certainly as fine specimens and 

 as well done as any we have seen at the London exhibitions, and, with 

 few exceptions, the stove and greenhouse plants were the same, while 

 the miscellaneous classes were all most creditably represented (and in 

 many cases could not be surpassed). The day was fine, and a large 

 number of visitors as usual attended the fete. This society merits the 

 good wishes of every horticulturist for the spirited manner in which it 

 conducts its exhibitions. To Mr. Smith, the secretary our thanks 

 are doubly due. We regret we could not find room for this last month.
