The third Exhibition of this Society took place on June 24th, and the 

 display imparted very general satisfaction, as did the adjudication of the 

 prizes, which was scientifically performed. The pinks and roses were in 

 great perfection ; the former very abundant, and, considering the difficulty 

 of retai'ding the blooming of the ranunculuses to the same period with the 

 pink, they were excellent also. A beautiful tray of roses from Mrs. Gordon's 

 garden presented an extraordinary display of those flowers in the richest 

 variety of colour. The grand stand was decorated with a fine assortment 

 of geraniums, and the stand for fruits exhibited a choice variety. The prize 

 pine-apple was a very fine specimen, as were also some prime grapes and 

 melons, and two plates of apples were exhibited in a perfect state of preserv- 

 ation. There were many remarkably large and fine specimens of peaches, 

 nectarines, strawberries, cherries, and raspberries ; as also cauliflowers, car- 

 rots, beans, &c. In fact, the exhibition was equal to any preceding one 

 here, and not inferior, perhaps, to that of any provincial society in the 

 kingdom. List of prizes : —
