SA TURD A Y 3 FEBR UAR Y 10, 1855. 



♦ 



The Winter Meeting of the Horticultural 

 Society last Tuesday in Regent Street, under the 



as will 



new arrangements, was perfectly successful, 

 be seen from the report in another column. It was 

 quite a representation in miniature of the 

 exhibitions at Chiswick. 



great 



Richly as the tables were 

 covered with beautiful objects, there is no doubt 

 that the display would have been still finer had the 

 ther been more Dronitious : but exhibitors 





weamer neen more propitious ; 

 cannot carry tender plants of great value through 

 sleet and a north-east wind without exposing them 

 to danger ; and it was impossible not to admire the 

 horticultural enthusiasm which produced so much 

 in such a season. 



The only difficulty that the Society seems likely 

 to encounter resides in the very limited space at 

 command. It is however to be hoped that the 

 number of hours, four or five according to the 

 season, during which the meeting lasts, will enable 

 visitors to see everything with no more inconve- 

 nience than attends a London evening party. 



Among the interesting subjects introduced at the 

 meeting of the Horticultural Society were the fine 

 diagrams of Wellingtons used by Mr. Bateman 

 in his interesting lecture, of which we last week 

 gave a report ; with the addition of the following 

 remaiks, by a Fellow of the Society, upon the sup- 

 posed age of the trees now existing in California.
