ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL EXHIBITION, 209 
ROYAL SOUTH LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY’S 
EXHIBITION 
Was held at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, on the 25th of July. It 
was what is usually denominated the Carnation and Picotee Show. 
The collections of these beautiful flowers were numerous, and the 
specimens exhibited were of first-rate excellence, several of the stands 
being much superior in size and excellence to any we ever previously 
saw. It was a rich treat to have so many fine specimens brought 
together for inspection, and would amply repay for a long journey to 
see them. We feel great pleasure in remarking that the collections of 
plants, specimens, &c., have this season generally been of a superb 
character, well grown, and finely bloomed, very considerably in ad- 
vance of former years. The liberality of the Society, and the pro- 
prietor of the gardens, in permitting the Floral Exhibition, the objects 
in the collection of the gardens, and the other entertainments, at the 
very reasonable charge of one shilling, deserves the gratitude and 
increased encouragement of the public; we hope we shall have the 
pleasure to see it successively realized. 
We have not space for an entire account of the plants and flowers in 
our present number, but give the pets of the day.
