DISS HORTICULTUKAL SOCJETY. 



On Thursday, the 18tli April, the first meeting of this Society was held, 

 and under favourable auspices. From the extreme backwardness of the 

 season a complete lailure was anticipated, but on our entrance into the 

 room we were delighted to find our expectations by no means verified. 

 The exhibition of fruits and vegetables was excellent, but we have sel- 

 dom observed the flower tables so thinly covered. The specimens which 

 attracted our notice were a dish of Keen's seedling strawberries, sent by 

 James Flower, Esq. Eccles Hall ; mushrooms, kidney beans, cucumbers, 

 and potatoes, by G. St. \. Wilson, Esq. Redgrave; several sorts of 

 apples, by R. Gamble, Esq. Worlham ; asparagus and sea kale, by Mrs. 

 Harrison, Palgrave ; brocoli and celery, by N. W. Ridley Colborne, 

 Esq. West Harliug ; and 13 stalks of rhubarb (not exhibited for a prize) 

 the produce of a single root, measuring from 3ft. 3iu. to 4ft. 3iu. and 

 several weighing from 13 to 17 ounces. The cucumbers, of which there 

 were several brace, were of the best description. The cottagers' list of 

 prizes will evince how well their table was filled. After the exhibition 

 an election took place for new officers, when G. St. V. Wilson, Esq. 

 was chosen President ; Thos. Havers, Esq. Vice President ; Rev. C. H. 

 Browne, Secretary ; Mr. Cupiss, Treasurer.
