MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 141 



They exhibited also some very fine specimens of crimson Hybrid Rhododendrons; 

 but their show of Camellia Flowers, was perhaps, the most magnificent rarity in 



the exhibition. They consisted of 20 distiuet named sorts of choice Camellias, 



viz.: the Reticulata, the Imbricata, the Parmenterii, the Palmerii, (dazzling 

 white,) the Florida, the Altheaflora, the Chandlerii, the Coralina Variegata, the 

 Rosea Sinensis, the Sesanqua Rosea, the new Ghent Seedling, the Alba Simplex, 

 the Rosa Mundi, the Grey's Invincible, the Welbankiana, the Speciosa, the 

 Pceoniflora and the Pompone. This stand also displayed some very noble-look- 

 ing plants, such as the Amaryllis reticulata, the F.rica Monsoniana, the Gingora 

 atropurpurea, the Oncidium luridium, (with 150 flowers), &c. A great variety of 

 elegant baskets of plants and cut flowers were ranged down the south side of the 

 tent, and on a table on the north side a collection of cut Pansies of every con- 

 ceivable hue. 



HULL FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The first exhibition for the present season, of the above society, was held on 

 May 2nd, at the Public Rooms. Notwithstanding the ungenial state of the wea- 

 ther for some weeks past, the show of flowers was very splendid, and formed a 

 most auspicious commencement of the society's operations. Indeed, it was con- 

 sidered by many, as superior to most of the exhibitions for several years past. 

 The flo-Pters exhibited, were Auriculas and Hyacinths, of both of which there 

 were some remarkably fine specimens on view ; as also of greenhouse plants, fruits, 

 &c. The judges for the Auriculas were Messrs. Ely, (of Leeds) Wharton, Bell, 

 Lumb, and Kells ; for the fruit, cucumbers, &c , Messrs. Morehouse, Kells, Lumb,
