Those marked thus (*) were splendid blooms. 



Among the blooms exhibited was Crompton's Lord Lilford, a 

 feathered bizarre, a northern seedling, finer this season than I have 

 ever seen it before, and will become a useful and popular flower. 

 Lady Lilford, a feathered rose, another northern, was conspicuous, 

 and will be prized. Queen Charlotte, an old northern, and Gibbons' 

 Sable Monarch, are two of the best heavy-flamed byblomens that the 

 north has produced. Slater's Prime Minister is another northern gem, 

 and is a new broke feathered bizarre, in the style of Walker's King 

 in its best state, but antagonistic to that flower; it is steady in 

 its habit ; the only drawback in the bloom shown was that the three 

 outer petals had Buffeted by the frost. Bier/fait, Heroine, Buckley's 

 Beauty, Lord Stanley, and many others, were in fine state, and fit for 

 the most fastidious gaze. Conspicuous in the group was Alexander's 

 Monarch, a fine feathered bizarre, but, owing to some little defect, it 

 did not gain a prize ; it must become a favourite. There were some 

 flowers shown under wrong names, which is not to be wondered at 

 when it is taken into consideration that some of the exhibitors were 

 poor men, but to their credit, can grow a Tulip fit for competition, and 

 can take a pleasure in employing their spare time over their Tulip-beds, 

 Instead of wasting it at t lie beer-shops. [Very highly to be com- 

 mended. — Editor.] Who can with pleasure join in chorus with the 

 poet when h" sings —
