THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE. 



COUNTRY SHOWS. 



Bury Floral and Horticultural SoOeip, Aug. 21. —Thi* was the 

 ■econd meeting for the exhibition of Carnations, Picotee 

 Store and Greenhouse-plants, Dahlias, Fraits, and Vegetables, 

 &c. It was held in the Victoria Gardens. The morning was 

 rather unfavourable ; but the number of articles for exhibition 

 was, nevertheless, so numerous, that the marquee, which is

the advantage of the opportunity offered them to contend for 

 the prizes given by the Society. Thirty-eight exhibited in this 

 class, and their productions did honour both to their table and 

 the exhibition. We hope that the success which has attended 

 the Exhibitors in the Cottager's class will be the means of 

 making manyearnestly set about cultivating their little gardens 

 and bringing their productions to future Exhibitions. The 

 wealthier classes expressed their astonishment at seeing such 

 good fruit, flowers, and vegetables as were exhibited on the 

 Cottager's table, and are anxious to afford them every means 

 Of encouragement. The prizes were awarded as follows :

The Meteorological Ephemeris for 1845; with Ruled 



Pages for Observations. By Henry Doxat, Esq 

 Mr. Doxat makes no pretence to weather prophecy, 

 further than may be gained by a very attentive consider^ 

 tion of those influences which may be naturally suppowd 

 to influence atmospheric changes. He was so very 

 nearly rght this year in some of his anticipations-for 

 they are neither guesses nor predictions— that we intend 

 to watch his " Ephemeris" carefully next year, and we 

 recommend others to do so likewise. 



The Mother's Primer ; a Little Child's First Steps in 

 Many Ways. By Mrs. Felix Summerly. 12mo.

"Mr experience with children," says the Authorew, 

 " is, that learning to read may be a pleasant instead of a 

 painful task." We think so too, and recommend 

 mothers to study, by the help of this pretty little book, 

 how to make it so. 



NOTICES of NEW PLANTS WHICH are EITHER 



USEFUL OR ORNAMENTAL. 



Alova coei.estis. Sky-blue Alona. {Greenhouse Shrub.) 

 Nolanaceae. Pentandria Monogynia.— It has long been known to 

 botanists that Chile and Peru abound in shrubby plants allied to 

 Nolana, few of which are yet published, but including among them 

 some species of remarkable beauty. Hitherto our gardens have 

 possessed no others than N. prostrata, tenella, paradoxa, and 

 atriplicifolia, •of which the first and last alone remain in cultiva- 

 tion. But they are annuals, and, with the exceptiun of the last, 

 of small importance for the purposes of decoration. The shrubs 

 are still to procure. Of these one species, viz. this one, has at 

 last been raised from some of Mr. Bridget's seeds, by Mr. Best.gr. 

 to A. Park, Esq. , of Merton Grove, Surrey. It proves to be a 

 very fine thing, with pale sky-blue flowers, each of which remains 

 in beauty for several days. Its habit is that of a sott-leaved Heatn, 

 and it appears likely to form a bush of some such size as a common

 that as all the Nolanas appear to be shore plants, sajni 

 quantities may be found useful in the soil. A plant «."»«.

Hewell Hall, near Bromsgrove.— At p. 66J 0! 0^ 

 volume for last year we gave an amateur's sketc 



interesting place. At the risk of repetition we no 

 offer an account of it by a correspondent of great sk 

 a gardener. Our readers may be anxious to f om P 

 the views of two different persons concerning the -a 

 array of facts. Hewell Hall is situated in one : 

 finest parks in England. The mansion lsan ? bl f e , U i : llole 

 building, placed in the very worst situation in the 

 park. One cannot help admiring the princely liberal j 

 that suggested the idea of such a pile, and pause to 

 demn the taste that could place it in such asitt«Mi 

 and in such a park too ! Few demesnes afford so m 

 choice in the site of the mansion as this, having sac 

 diversified surface, and grouped in all directions* 

 huge masses of stately timber. An extensive lake 

 also been formed near the house, certainly in the 

 situation for such an ornament. The ™*™>™"£ x 6 

 wants boldness and variety ; for although concel the

place, it is nevertheless destitute of interest from 

 inartistical form. This is very strikingly «" m P!£ ea thc 

 the opposite shore running nearly parallel wii 

 mansion : and as the latter does not occupy an eieva 

 situation, the defect becomes more apparent and oj 

 tionable. The splendid groups of timber tree i wfi 

 meet the eye in all directions, are, in most instan ^ 

 judiciously placed. They are composed, ^weve , ^ 

 trees assimilating greatly in form, and want tne_ ^ .^ 

 Lebanon, and in some instances the Lombaruy * ^ 

 to give variety and style to the general character.
