Herefordshire. 



The Herefordshire Horticultural Society held their thirteenth Exhibition 

 on July 25th. Owing to the unpropitious state of the weather on that 

 day, the visitors were not so numerous as on former occasions, but still 

 there was a very fashionable and highly respectable attendance. The ex- 

 cessive rains which fell at intervals for many days previous, interspersed 

 with gleams of heat, and which rendered necessary the almost constant 

 attention of the florist in sheltering, shading, forwarding, or retarding, as 

 circumstances required (indeed none but florists know a florist's cares), it 

 was expected would have affected the exhibition of flowers ; but, notwith- 

 standing those discouraging circumstances, the show was excellent. Thei'e 

 were exhibited two melons of a new variety, called the Swe«t Melon of 

 Ispahan, and also specimens of new American grapes, with the bunches 

 remarkably large; three umbels of Hydrangea hortensis blossoms, blue and 

 pink, each measuring near 30 in. in circumference; likewise many beautiful 

 seedling dahlias, carnations, and picotees. The gooseberries were never 

 finer, amongst which shone conspicuously the Old Grown Bob and the 

 Roaring Lion which has lately made so much noise amongst the admirers 

 of this useful fruit. The institution has now had a fair trial of nearly three 

 years, and we doubt not it will " go on and prosper." The prizes were 

 awarded as follows : —
