REPORT ON FLOWERS. 



It has again become our duty to make a Report of the An- 

 nual Exhibition of Flowers, at the Rooms of the Massachusetts 

 Horticultural Society. The contributors were numerous ; the 

 contributions were liberal ; and many of the specimens, of sur- 

 passing beauty. As a detailed report of the fruits, and some 

 general remarks of the flowers, have already appeared in the 

 report of Mr. William Kenrick, Ghairman of the Gommittee on 

 Fruits ; and as it is understood a detailed report of the Plants 

 and Flowers will be given in the respective magazines of Messrs. 

 Breck «Sz.Go., and the Messrs. Hovey, we shall report in general 

 terms. 



The plants from the Hon. John Lowell, of Roxbury, in addi- 

 tion to two very splendid Orange Trees, were in fine order, and 

 were much admired.
