ENGLAND. 



Dahlias and Dahlia Exhibitions of 1849. — The dahlia season in England 

 has been exceedingly favorable, and the exhibitions have been numerous, 

 well attended, and abundant in the very finest specimens. The system of 

 offering liberal premiums, adopted by various successful cultivators, in addi- 

 tion to those offered by the several floral societies, has added new zeal to 

 the principal amateur fanciers, and induced a better cultivation of the 

 plants, and the production of a greater number of new varieties. The 

 floricultural journals are filled with the reports of the exhibitions, and, as 

 usual, we copy the names of the winning flowers of a few of the principal 

 societies, which will show which are the most successful varieties ; —
