SUPPLEMENT. 



SHEFFJELD HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The fourth nieeling of this Society was held at the Music Hall, on 

 Wednesday, August 7th, when there was exhibited the grandest display 

 of Fruits, Vegetables, aud Flowers, that we have witnessed since the 

 establishment of the Society. The rooms were more crowded with 

 beauty and fashion than on any former occasion, and the visitors gene- 

 rally .seemed delighted with the exhibition. The first specimens in 

 every department were sufficiently fine to vie with those of any Society 

 in the kingdom at this season. The Stove Plants, from Earl Fitzwil- 

 liam's, Wentworth House, were of the most rare and elegant kind ; the 

 Green-house Plants aud Fruits, from the Duke of Norfolk's, Worksop 

 Manor ; Lord WharnclifFe's, Wortley ; the Rev. William Bagshaw's, 

 Banner Cross; B. Ward, Esq. ; J Read, Esq. ; Miss Marshall ; Wm. 

 P. Milner, Esq. ; J. H. Turner, Esq. ; T. K. Short, Esq. ; and from Mr 

 Butcher, the Grange Gardens, were of very superior quality. The 

 display of Vegetables far exceeded our expectations, and we rejoice to 

 find that private individuals, with small gardens, arc producing speci- 

 mens of the rarest vegetables, equal to those from the first gardens in 

 the surrounding country. The Celery (several of the finest roots of 

 which measured 3 feet 6 inches in length, and 9 inches in circumference, 

 when the outer leaves were stripped ofl"), Rhubarb, Lettuce, Charred 

 Beet, Parsley, &c., were exceedingly fine, and much admired. The 

 Florists' Flowers attracted general attention ; particnlarly Mr. Levick's 

 Seedling Dahlia, the Beauty of Slicfficld, and Mr. Archer's Seedling 

 Carnations. A great variety of A nnuals, &c. were also introduced. — 

 The following prizes were awarded: —
