Exhibition of June 20, 1846. 



FLOWERS. — The display of flowers this day was unusu- 

 ally brilliant. The Rose appeared pre-eminent ; and never 

 was shown in greater variety or pert'ection in the Society's 

 rooms. It was premium day for Roses, Pajonies, Pinks and 

 other choice flowers, which brought together numerous exhi- 

 bitors, who occupied every part oV the Hall, and filled every 

 stand and vase with the choicest productions of Flora. It 

 was necessary to limit many of the contributors to a smaller 

 space than they desired, that all might find a place for their 

 flowers. 



M. P. Wilder, President of the Society, exhibited a splen- 

 did collection of new Geraniums; among them were the 

 Duchess of Sutherland, Beauty Supreme, Roselta .Superb, 

 Symmetry, Flash, Lady Sale, Excelsa, Sophia Matilda, 

 Grand Monarch, Constellation, Miguel, Armenia, Ne.stor 

 and Unit. Seven pots of Fuchsias. His display of Roses 

 was most superb. In his stand were about 1,000 blooms, em- 

 bracing a dozen varieties of splendid new Moss, a great va- 

 riety of Hybrid Perpeluals, .and innumemble varieties of 

 other classes of Roses, including new whites. Mr. Wilder's 

 Roses were very fine — but as he declines competing with 

 the members of the Society, no preminm was aw.arded. We 

 were glad however, to notice that the judges recommended 

 a gratuity. 



J. L. L. F. Warren made a fine display of a great variety 

 of Roses and other cut flowers, including fine specimens of 

 Digitalis, two var.. Clematis alpina. Campanula persicifo-
