BATH ROYAL HORTICULTURAL AND FLORAL SOCIETY. 



The present season commenced on April 21st., with as splendid an exhibition 

 as the most sanguine could have expected at so early a period. Nothing that 

 science, taste, or wealth could produce was wanting, the variety appeared endless, 

 the whole superlative attractive. The company appeared to comprise all the 

 fashion aud elegance of the city, augmented by a considerable influx of the 

 neighbouring gentry. The chief display in the great tent was indebted for many 

 of its choicest attractions to Mr. Salter, of Kensington Nursery, and to Messrs. 

 Lucombe, Pince, and Co., nurserymen of Exeter. The former, it will be seen be- 

 low, sent no less a number than 450 plants and flowers, and his contributions in 

 this form are the more acceptable and valuable, because he does not compete for 

 the prizes, but supports the Society upon disinterested public ground. Among 

 the contributions o! the latter, (brought, it will be observed, from so great a dis 

 tance as Exeter,) were some beautiful new Seedling Chinese Azaleas, of perfectly 

 novel colours — from rich purple to the delicate tint of the rose, geranium-colour, 

 pink, &c. These are really great acquisitions to our greenhouse collections.
