 great deal of -liis crop of Indian corn ; but late 

 English pnblicalions slate that almost all attempts 



o cultivate this kind of grain have been abortive ;

 ) the judgment of th'^ committee, very superior 

 owers ; it was also state- by several gentlemen pre- 

 3nt, who had seen l.i'i;) exhibitions in England, that 

 ley had never witnessed greater varieties of finer 

 alors or better shnT'd flowers. The committee de- 

 ided that A. Aspiiiuall had the best six flowers ; 

 so, that great praise was due Messrs Pratt for 

 leir successful mode of cultivating the Ranunculus 

 siaticus ; they were sorry there had been no com- 

 etition for the premium, it being one of the most 

 eautiful spring flowers that can be introduced into a
