218 THE FLORIST. 



ROYAL SOUTH-LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



July 23. — This Society held its fourth exhibition for the season in 

 the Surrey Zoological Gardens. The afternoon was unfavourable, 

 and there was but a thin attendance. Carnations and Picotees were 

 good, and shewn in great numbers. The competition in some of 

 the classes was spirited, requiring very close scrutiny on the part of 

 the judges to distinguish the winning stands. The following is a list 

 of the awards.
