ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The Dahlia Show of the above Society took place at the Surrey Zoological 

 Gardens on Tuesday, Sept. loth. The blooms, both of Dahlias and Heartsease, 

 were better than could have been expected this rather unfavourable season. 

 There were, too, some well grown plants. The prize of five sovereigns offered 

 by Mr. Widnall, of Granchester, for the bloom of any yellow Dahlia, was 

 awarded to Mr. Dalton, of Tooting, for a bloom of Cox's Defiance. The Hearts- 

 ease, both stands and seedlings, contained a great many good flowers, and at- 

 tracted a large portion of the unusually numerous company. Messrs. Paul and 

 Son, of Cheshuut, exhibited a tray of Roses of great beauty and variety for this 

 late period. Mr. Chapman, of Vauxhall, had some exceedingly fine Black 

 Hambro' Grapes. Extra prizes were recommended b}' the judge for Apples and 

 Pears, to Messrs. Baldwin, John Gaines, Bursil, and Lee. The collection of 

 Vegetables shown by Messrs. Gaines and Martin were larger and better grown 

 than on any previous occasion. We were unable to obtain the names of many 

 productions. The following prizes were awarded:—
