as to the excellence of the kinds exhibited. Perhaps one may be able 

 to add a few observations at another time, about the sorts most shown. 

 A report of the show would be, however, incomplete, were one not to 

 acknowledge the great services rendered by Mr. Edwards to its success. 

 His perfect knowledge of the whole business ; his activity, energy, and 

 extreme good nature, made him a most capital master of the cere- 

 monies. Ah ! that reminds me — there was a band ! Purely this is 

 not needed. Will not people come to look at the flowers without it ? 

 It is all very well out of doors, but such a crash and a clamour as this 

 made was enough to break any one's tympanum. We saw on gen- 

 tleman rushing about after the committee, or Mr. Hole, or any one he 

 could get to put a stop to the row. Surely we might set the good 

 example of doing away with it, or at any rate of having one of much 

 less tormenting power. As Mr. Hole takes for his motto, " Floreat 

 regina riorum," let all Rose growers heartily thank him for the 

 amount of time, labour, and energy he has spent on this project. 

 Rejoice with him on the success of his plans, and give him the more 

 homely but expressive oriental wish, " May his shadow never be less."
