PROCEEDINGS. xl V 



June 10, 1848. (Garden Exhibition.) 



A pouring rain and a sunless sky rendered this meeting a 

 failure as regarded company. Notwithstanding, however, that 

 tlie beating of the rain-drops on the tents almost drowned the 

 sound of the musical instruments, and that the lawn had become 

 a swamp, 870 Fellows and their friends had the courage to face 

 the storm. But if it was a failure as a meeting, as an exliibition 

 it was a triumph. The Azaleas of May were hardly missed, so 

 rich and varied were tlie tints of the gaudy plants that took, their 

 place, and so admirable their cultivation. The fruit, too, was 

 better than in May ; in some respects it was excellent, and it 

 was this time produced in considerable quantity.
