Felton, Ely, and several others, and we respectfully refer our readers 

 to those articles. Most of tlie flowers exhibited by tlie Woolwich 

 florists were of an extraordinary size. If these results be the etfect of 

 some new application in culture by manures, &c., sucli is the well- 

 known liberality of our friends we refer to, we are confident they will 

 gladly communicate it to us for the benefit of our readers. 



The assemblage of these flowers shown in and around London during 

 the present season has been very considerable, and much beyond what 

 most of our readers have an idea of. It would have afforded us plea- 

 sure to record tlie names of the noble host of most worthy exhibitors, 

 and annexed to each the list of flowers shown, but our limits forbid. 

 As, however, the sorts shown at one or two of the principal exhibitions 

 contain the best general kinds, and are nearly a repetition of the others, 

 we here append the particulars, so that our readers may see what are 

 the kinds most successful, and be aided in making selections now the 

 layers are about being potted off, and offered for sale by the florists 

 around London, Woolwich, Bedford, Cradley, Rothwell, as our adver- 

 tising sheets from time to time testify.
