A superb collection of Ranunculuses was exhibited 

 by Messrs. Tyso and Son, of Wallingford ; these flowers 

 attracted much attention, from their extreme delicacy 

 a.id beauty ; and, considering the unpropitious season we 

 have had, it must have required great skill and unceasing 

 attention to have produced such fine blooms; the collection 

 contained Temeraire, Candale, Tippoo Saib, Kilgour's

 seedling Pelargoniums from Mr. Hoyle, of Guernsey, con- 

 tained some curious varieties. Cut bloom were also 

 shown by Mr. Pamplin, of Walthamstow, and from Messrs. 

 Lucombe and Pince. Many seedlings of great merit were
