NORFOLK. 



Lynn HorlicuUural Society. — June 30. The articles exhibited were very 

 numerous, and augur well for the future prospects of the Society. We cannot too much praise 

 the friends of this infant institution for their liberality in sending various articles which were not 

 named in the list for prizes. We think it right to say that this kindness was duly noticed by the 

 award of several extra-prizes for such productions ; and the Committee intend to act in like 

 manner in future. The exhibition was far better than could have been expected from either the 

 short notice or the state of the weather ; and the company was numerous and highly resi)ectable. 

 A prize was awarded for cucumbers grown in a frame with paper lights, and no bottom lieat, 

 to the Rev. F. Browning. [Prizes were given to numerous others, but, as the names of the par- 

 ticular sorts are not given, we forbear enumerating them.3 {Bury and Norwich Post, July ft) 



Norfolk and Norwich HorlicuUural Society. — May •25. We must refer our 

 readers to the list of prizes for an elucidation of those plants which were considered most deserv- 

 ing of notice ; but we trust we shall not be considered invidious in pointing out some few 

 of those that particularly attracted attention. The Aquil^gia glandulbsa is a most valuable 

 addition to our herbaceous plants, and eminently deserving a place in the flower borders in every 

 garden. Lechenaiill/a formbsa is a most desirable green-house plant, continuing many months 

 in bloom. The Erythrina Crista galli was a splendid specimen, but rather bruised in being 

 brought flora a distance. The genera Metrosid^ros, Yiorbnia, Sprengi:l««, Polygala, E pacris, 

 A^erium, £rica Lasiopetalum, each produced some magnificent specimens. The gems of the 

 exhibition were, twenty-two splendid pelargoniums, from Mrs. Burroughes, of Hoveton, among 

 which the megalanthon, flagrans, megalostictum, HiWiiinum, and nutans were particularly 

 striking. From Mrs. Ives of Catton, some splendid green-house and stove plants, among which 

 the Cactus, Ixbra coccinea, and A^erium splendens, attracted universal admiration. From Mrs. 

 Mackie, a splendid collection of fifty-six choice tulips, among which, the Glbria albbrum. Glory 

 of Norwich, Rose Mont de Crete, Trafalgar, Rose Parfaite, Charbonnicr, and Lord Exmouth 

 were much admired ; and a collection of seventy-six pelargoniums, Calceolaria lanceolata [angus- 

 tifblia], E'pacris grandittbra, Pimel6a rbsea, &c. &c. From Mr. Middleton, some fine specimens 

 of pelargoniums and other green-house plants, among which we particularly noticed fine-grown 

 plants of Polygala cord^ta and Metrosid^ros floribundus. From the Rev. G. R. Leatlies, some 

 choice plants, among which the Erythrina Crista galli and Lechenault?Vi formbsa were deservedly 

 much admired. From the Rev. R. H. Cooper, a fine collection of well-grown pelargoniums, &c. 

 From Mr. John Smith, a large collection of pelargoniums and other green- house plants. From 

 Mr. Noverre, a collection of green-hcuse plants, &c. From William Robinson, Esq., some well- 

 grown specimens of pelargoniums, S:c. From Charles Thompson, Esq., a fine lemon tree, in 

 full fruit, raised from a cutting by Mr. Jesse Youngman, Mr. Thompson's gardener, about four- 

 teen years since. From Mrs. Dashwood, some beautiful ranunculuses in pots, a choice fern, &c. 

 &c. From Mrs. Martineau, a splendid Calceoliiria integrifolia and other showy green-house 

 plants. From William Foster, Esq., a magnificent pelargonium. There was one pine, which 

 was sent by Lord Stafford, not for a prize, but returnable; His Lordship also sent a smooth 

 melon. Colonel Lucas, J. Penrice, Esq., and the Rev. T. C. Blofeld sent some fine bunches of 

 Black Prince and Hamburgh grapes. Amongst the dessert apples were some Chester golden 

 pippins, grown in the garden of Mr. R. Bradfield, of Heacham (a non-subscriber). There were 

 a few plates of strawberries, and a dish of blanche mange made from a sea-weed. Mr. Lindley 

 exhibited a root of the scarlet runner kidneybean. [This we have previously noticed, p. 485.]
