Ipswich Flower Show. — At the Annual Show of Carnations and pico- 

 tees, held on July 17th, the judges were, Mr. Churchill, Mr. T. Clark, 

 and Mr. R. Clark, who awarded the following prizes: — Carnations: 1. 

 Scarlet Bizard Seedling, named the Marquess of Hertford, and Pink and 

 Pin Bizard Lady Harland, Hufton's La Belle Alliance, Sicklemere's Lady 

 Rowley, and Fletcher's Lord Anson, Mr. W. Woollard; 2. Gregory's King 

 Alfred, Huttersley's Freedom, Wild's Perfection, Staniforth's Yorkshire 

 Lass, Fletcher's Duchess of Devonshire, and Pearson's Rising Sun, Mr. 

 Baldiston ; 5. Smalley's Foxhunter, Lacey's Waterloo, Ive's Prince Leopold, 

 Pearson's Madam Mara, Hufton's La Belle Alliance, and Barker's Scarlet 

 Flake, Mr. Lee. Picotees : Hufton's Stukely and Lee's Lady Milton, Mr. 

 Shreeve. Seedlings : Scarlet Bizard, afterwards named Woollard's Duke 

 of Wellington, Mr. Woollard ; Scarlet Flake, afterwards named Goodwin's 

 Miss Clark, Mr. Goodwin ; Purple Picotee, afterwards named Lee's Miss 

 Bellman, Mr. Lee. A beautiful red-edged Seedling Picotee of Mr. Wool- 

 lard's was much admired, and afterwards named Woollard's Miss Bacon. 

 The flowers in general were allowed to be quite equal, if not superior, to 

 those produced at any previous show ; the seedlings, in particular, were ex- 

 cellent. We congratulate Mr. Woollard on being so fortunate, as it is 

 considered, among the florists themselves, that his Scarlet Bizards and 

 Crimson Bizards possess such superior properties, that, when a stock is 

 obtained of them, they will drive many of the good old flowers entirely 

 out of the garden. The company, which was highly respectable, dined 

 together upon the occasion ; after which the president, Mr. H. Ridley, cir- 

 culated many appropriate toasts, and the day was finished with the greatest 

 mirth and glee. {Sujfolk Chron., July 26.)
