STOKE-NEWINGTON CHRYSANTHEMUM EXHIBITION. 



The above was held on the 20th November at the Manor Rooms, 

 Stoke Newington ; and we have great reason to regret that the day 

 proved so unfavourable for visitors. The exhibitors and friends of 

 floriculture, however, were not to be deterred by bad weather : there 

 were superb collections of plants and cut blooms, exhibiting the per- 

 fection to which these popular flowers have been brought by the 

 untiring and unceasing energy of the exhibiting Florist. The pro- 

 ductions were an evident improvement upon the exhibition of the 

 previous year.
