The Bury Horticultural ^'oc/f'/j/held their second Meeting on Nov. 18th, 

 The show of fruits and vegetables was excellent, and the Chinese Chrjsan- 

 themums exhibited by Mr. Barret, gardener to the Rev. T. G. Cullum, of 

 Hardvvicke, some of them measuring nearly 8 in. in diameter, were the ob- 

 jects of especial admiration. The great room, in which the display was made, 

 was crowded with company till the hour appointed for the judges to com- 

 mence their examination. The judges were Mr. W.Adams and Air. Wright, 

 for the fruit; Mr. C. Adams and Mr. WooUard, for the flowers and vege- 

 tables: and their award of the prizes was as follows : — 



Fruit. Grapes. White (Muscadine), Mr. C. Adams, Barton. ... Black 

 (Black Prince), Mr. ^Marriott, Stowmarket. — Plums (Imperatrice), "Sir. Bar- 

 rett, gardener to the Rev. T.G. Cullum. — Table Pears (Colmar), Mr. Barrett.

 Buckle, cottager, of Rougham. — Best fruit grown by a cottager (Winter 

 Apple), J. Buckle. — Seedling Apple, Mr. Jonathan Lock, Rushbrooke. — 



almost every subject, would thus stand less chance of being merely repe- 

 titions. We should like to see a horticultural society of the whole world 

 established, to hold meetings once a year, by deputations from all the sub- 

 societies of the world; the meetings to be held, in rotation, in the capitals 

 of all the leading governments of the world. We have suggested the idea 

 in our Alagazine of Natural History (vol. i. p. 476.), in our notes from 

 Ratisbon, for a similar literary republic of the whole world ; and, on our 

 return to Paris from Germany, in December last, we were agreeably sur- 

 prised to find that the same idea had been in contemplation there for some 

 time, and is about to be made public. — Cond. 



* Henceforth we mean to make this distinction ; because it may often 

 happen, that in printing from such MS. the proper names will not be spelled 

 in the same way as in the original newspaper. We greatly prefer having 

 the newspaper itself sent to us. — Cond.
