Horticultural Zeal.— -Some idea may be fonned of the spirit which animates Horli- 

 culturisls in London, from tlie fact that some time since Di'. Lindley ofteied three prizes 

 of 10s. 6s. and 4s. for the three viost extensive and best named collection of Wild Flowering 

 Plants, gathered between 6 p. m. on .Tuly 31, and 6 a. m. Aug. 2. These prizes were con- 

 tended for by the following persons, viz. : 



Culverwell, producing 176 species, of which 188 were allowed. 

 Baxter, " 



Sherwood, " 



dumbrill, " 



Williams, " 



COLMER, " 



Hadlow, " 



and consequently the first three competitors gained the pnzes. 



We have been forcibly attracted by the number of beautiful wild flowers that adorn the 

 banlis of the Alabama River in early spring. 



Young ladies who have the good fortune to become fanners' wives will find it more profit- 

 able to know how to make .Johnny-cake, butter and cheese, than to play the piano, though 

 there is " a time for all thuigs."
