The Ross Horticidtural Society held their nineteenth Exhibition on the 

 23d of July, and it was visited by all the distinguished families of that delight- 

 ful neighbourhood. We never remember the display of miscellaneous 

 plants on the grand stand more interesting, the various specimens being in 

 fine bloom and foliage. The carnations were abundant, and in good colour, 

 but we thought the specimens small. The show of picotees was of the first 

 character ; those exhibited by Mr. Edwards were particularly fine, as also 

 were the cockscombs exhibited by Mr. Reynolds. The balsams were abun- 

 dant and large, but the blooms were not well broken in colour. The sup- 

 ply of double dahlias was somewhat scant, occasioned, we suppose, by the 

 late weather, as we know that the Ross florists abound in the several 

 varieties of that most beautiful flower. The fruit tables were profusely 

 covered with fine specimens, and we have great pleasure in remarking the 

 close attention which is paid to this department by the members of the 

 Society, The number of specimens ticketed and entered in the Society's 

 books amounted to 739, and the evening's sale of fruits not removed by 

 the exhibiters produced '2.1. \5s. 8d. The prizes were awarded as follows : —
