PRIZE FLOWERS EXHIBITED IN 1832. 



At the varoius Horticultural and Floricultural Meetings held throughout 

 the country, it is usual to award several prizes to each class of colour in the 

 flowers exhibited, as eight prizes for grey-edged Auriculas, eight prizes for 

 green-edged, &c. We have, therefore, selected out of all the accounts o/ 

 Meetings we could obtain, sue of each class obtaining the greatest luimber of 

 first prizes. Our object in doing so is to give our readers who may be unac- 

 quainted with many of the sorts of flowers, a knowledge of their merits as 

 determined by the selected Judges at the various exhibitions, and thus be a 

 guide, in some degree, to a choice of valuable kinds of flowers in any additiou 

 about to be made.
