442 Foreign J^otices. — England. 



The season in England appears to have been a favorable one, and 

 the character of the exhibitions more beautiful than heretofore — not 

 perhaps so much in the profusion of the flowers, as in their superior 

 and improved quality — far more splendid than those of previous 

 years. 



Our synopsis of the exhibitions will he the same as heretofore; that 

 is, giving the names of the flowers which took the premium, or the 

 highest prize, at the diflferent societies which will be named — and, 

 lastly, an account of the several new seedlings which are deemed 

 worthy of cultivation.
