SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The second Flower Show for the year 1836, of the South London Floricultural 

 Society, was held at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, on Tuesday, June 14th, when 

 from the fineness of the weather, the gardens were crowded by a large assemblage 

 of rank and fasliion ; the Flowers and Fruit were arranged in five large tents, and 

 were of the finest description; the splendid band of the Coldstream Guards occu- 

 pied for the first time a new orchestra built for the occasion ; the Hungarian 

 singers, sung National, Russian, and Tyrolese airs ; a peal of harmonic bells were- 

 placed upon the island which played alternately with the band. Amongst the dis- 

 tinguished visitors were the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, the Duke and 

 Duchess of Leinster, the Duchess of Marlborough, the Earl and Countess Stan- 

 hope, Lord and Lady Famborough, Viscountess Mahon Lord Adolphus Fitzcla- 

 rence, Lord Prudhoe, Col. Lincoln Stanhope, Mrs. Marryatt, Lady Kerrison, and
