cellent flower. The Verbenas in pots were numerous. There 
‘was a good collection of Perennials in boxes, and among the cut 
nowers were some very good Pansies, Roses, Stocks, and Pent- 
stemons; but of the fetes there was only one box shown. The 
Cockscombs and Balsams were not remarkable for excellence. 
The show of fruit was good, considering that we have had a bad 
season for ripening. There were two Pines from one person, of 
good mavour: and well grown; the Gooseberries were large and 
well oe and the dish that obtained the ue prize was re- 
markably fine. The Strawberries and Ras; Ss were also 
good. There were some good Cherries and Seal dishes of 
white, black, and red Currants. There was one small dish of 
peedee Apples, not very tempting to look at, but said to be a 
good dessert fruit, and an extra prize was awarded to them, 
‘There were also a single dish of Citrons and a Melon, The vege- 
tables exhibited by gentlemen were yery good, though in this 
department they do not shine so well, perhaps, as the market 
gardeners, and the cottagers tread very closely on their steps. 
In some cases, the show by the latter very much surpassed that of 
the gentlemen. The tirst prize was again won by Mr, freseder, 
of Truro, whose articles were well grown, ve maintained his high 
reputation. In the gallery, Messrs. Lucombe, Pince & Co.,§ shewed 
chimenes grandiflora, and the peepee “Fachsia exoniene is, a 
new seedling of their own raising : the Siphocampy: tue 
lef6lius, which gained a medal in Tendon, ara Mandevilla sna- 
véolens. Messrs. Veitch, of Exeter, ered drawings of seven 
new plants from South Ar merica, five in were climbers ; 
ee were abs epleaet god sent over by Lobb, their collector.

Rondelétia, a beautiful shrub, and Begénia coccinea. Neat 
Veitch also exhibited a splendid seedling Fuchsia, called P, 
Rickardii grandiflora. This seedling was raised by Mr. Rickard, 
of Probus, who has recently brought into ae some very excel. 
lent things. Besides the Fuchsia, “Me: ‘ch showed a choice 
collection of Pelar; s, comp prontrenethoseler esta- 
blisbed beauty; also a splendid coilentioe of Rone comprising 
about 50 choice varieties, and specimens of hardy Perennials. 
Verbenas, &c. Mr. Pontey, of Plymouth, exhibited several plants 
of that new and beautiful genus, Achimenes résea, SEN 
and grandiflora; also Brugmansia parviflora in flower. Amoi 
the cut-flowers, which were numerous, were Stephanotus Aae 
bundus, Manéttia glabra, Ixora rosea, Rondelétia speciosa, &c, 
Also a great variety of Pelargoniums, among which were Con- 
stellation, Priory King, Beauty, Rising Sun, Wonder, Acme, Sir

rare kinds of Perennials, ‘Annuals, &c. Mr. Rendle, of Plymouth, 
exhibited a choice display of floral beauties, which were much 
admired. The Paterecntian were fine, and comprised many of 
the newest sorts. Amongst them were Lyne’ 5 Lord Ebrington, 
Lyne’s Duke of Cornwall, Princess Royal, Cynthia, Hamlet, 
Beauty of Exe vale, Oberon, Constellation, &c. CHiscollection of

St. Andrew's Horticultural and | Floriculturat Society, July 12.— 
The second meeting for the season took place in the Town- hall. 
rhe show o} was fine, and the competition, in many in- 
stances, close. We cane notice the Pelargoniums in particular, as 
moapmisean specimens of first-rate varieties, and finely grown. 
The artsease also were DAN etna on closely contested; and 
the dlben medal given by J m, lisq., for the best thirty 
varieties waa adifieult subject for theta dges to decide upon. The 
show of fr was small, clearly sliowing. the lateness of the 
season. Vegetables were, in general, fine. In snort those who 
gained prizes, and those who did not, had alike great reason 
to be proud of their productions, for they invariably reflected 
great credit upon the exhibitors.’ Prizes were awarded as follows :
