THE FLORIST. 



Mr. Dobie; 3d, Mr. Hamp ; 4th, Mr. Cameron; 5th, Mr. Over, 

 Ericas and Clerodendrons forming the principal subjects : Achime- 

 nias, Scarlet Geraniums, Verbenas, Balsams, Ferns, &c. were all 

 numerously and tolerably well done. We now turn to the feature 

 of the Show, viz. Dahlias, the entrance-money alone, 10s. each 

 stand, amounting to over 30/. ; the well-known liberality of the 

 Dahlia growers secured a hearty response to the donation by the 

 Railway Company's 10/. silver cup; yet we must suggest that, to 

 test their zealous enthusiasm, this entrance-fee was to Dahlias only 

 appended, why, it is not for us further to comment upon, when the same 

 was most cheerfully paid. Dealers' classes, 24 varieties : 1st, Mr.
