Hie Gloucester Horticultural Society held their third Show on July 25., 

 and it was as well attended as any that has preceded it. The advanced period 

 of the season did not prevent an ample contribution of green-house plants, 

 and the principal stand presented a very pleasing collection of beauty and 

 variety. The exhibition of carnations and picotees was truly superb, and 

 afforded a rich treat to amateurs in those classes. The show of dahlias was 

 rather circumscribed, the late prevailing wet weather having generally ope- 

 rated much to the prejudice of that tribe. Still, however, the tout ensemble 

 was very splendid, and the gems of Flora were dispersed with no unsparing 

 hand. Many curious specimens were to be seen, particularly some flowers 

 of the Stapeh'a species, exhibited by Mr. Arnott, which attracted much atten- 

 tion. The display of fruit was comprehensive and luxuriant for this early 

 period, presenting a rich collection of pines, melons, grapes, nectarines, 

 apricots, plums, apples, &c., in great perfection. With such objects to please 

 the eye, not only of the horticulturist but of the casual spectator, it is not 

 to be wondered at that the expressions of sati^sfaction were strong and 

 general. The prizes were awarded as follows : —
