Suffolk. 



The I-pswich Horlicullural Society held their second Meeting for the year 

 on the 28th of July, which, if we may judge from the splendid exhibition 

 of fruits, &c., proves that the Society has already been productive of some 

 good T'and induces us to believe, that, ultimately, much improvement will 

 result from it. To pay a just tribute to each individual production would 

 exceed our limits, but there were some, which, to pass them over without 

 notice, would be doing them injustice : the pines, for instance, exhibited by 

 Mr. Basting, gardener to A. H. Steward, Esq., were magnificent, and a 

 general feeling of regret prevailed, that no prize could be given to this 

 fruit, in consequence of its not being allowed to be tasted. The melons 

 •were excellent ; one, in particular (called the New Scarlet Flesh), sent by 

 Mr. Cole, gardener to R. Wilson, Esq., was most delicious : the gooseberries 

 and currants, produced by Mr. Woollard, excelled all we had previously 

 witnessed ; one berry, the largest ever shown in this county, weighing the 

 surprising weight of 27 dwts., and the currants were equally fine of their 

 kind, 18 bunches weighing a pound. The judges appointed were the Rev. 

 S. Johnson, Mr. Patterson, and Mr. Bird, assisted by Mr. J. Ablitt and Mr. 

 Seagrief as weighers of the fruit. The prizes were awarded as follows : —

Upwards of thirty members dined together; and,, in the absence of the 

 worthy president, W. Rodwell, Esq., the chair was ably filled by Mr. Vaux. 

 Two papers were read to the Societj^, the one from Mr, Basting, on an 

 original plan of growing pines and melons in the same pit; the other from 

 Mr. Vaux, on a cheap and efficacious method of destroying the Aphis or 

 green fly upon wall trees. We hail the production of these papers with 

 much pleasure, in the hope that they will stimulate other members to 

 communicate to the Society any novelty or useful information they may 

 happen to be in possession of, as it is by these means new and improved 

 methods of raising, cultivating, propagating, &c., will be elicited, mutual 

 instruction given and received, and one of the most delightful sciences 

 promoted — that of horticulture; for gardening, which has been extolled, 

 and its praise set forth, by some of the best of men and most respectable
