SUFFOLK. 



Ipsivich Horticultural Society. — A Meeting was held on April 20th, when the 

 judges, Mr. Buchanan and Mr. Garrod, and Mr. Sally as umpire, awarded prizes as follows : — 



Plants. Stove or Green-house plant in bloom, in a pot (A T erium splendens), Mr. J. Smith. — 

 Flowers. Auriculas, Mr. Woollard. — Fruit. Table Apples (Nonpareils), and Kitchen, Mr. J. 

 Smith. — Culinary Vegetables. Cucumbers : 1. Mr. J. Smith, gardener to Dykes Alexander, Esq. ; 

 2. Mr. William Allen, gardener to Lieut.-Col. Edgar; 3. Mr.R. Marriott, Stowmarket. Forced 

 Potatoes : 1. Mr. Waller; 2. Mr. Burns, gardener to Lord Eivers. French Beans, Mr. J. Smith. 

 Asparagus, Mr. Bird. White Broccoli, Mr. Allen. Brown Broccoli and Cabbages, Mr. Lovely. 

 Lettuces, Mr. Burnes. Ehubarb, Mr. J. Smith. Sea-kale, Mr. Burns 



Cottagers' Prizes. Vegetable of any kind grown by a Cottager (being a labourer), Quinton, 



of Westerfield, for the best Cabbages. 



William Eodwell, Esq. was unanimously elected President. A handsome medal from the Lon- 

 don Horticultural Society was presented, with suitable remarks from the Chairman, to Mr. Eobert 

 Milborn, for the general excellence of his productions in the year 1828, and Mr. Milborn returned 

 thanks. — This Society, we are happy to find, is progressing most satisfactorily. Several new 

 members were admitted (there are now more than 200), and the finances of the past year were 

 found to be adequate to the purposes of the Society. We should be glad to see the Cottagers' 

 Prizes more extensively contested : this is a point of infinitely more importance than who is the 

 best grower of pines among the great, some of whom, we know, have ostentatiously exhibited 

 their fruit, and then selfishly ordered its return back to their own homes, instead of leaving it to 

 promote the general enjovment of the dinner party of subscribers. {Suffolk Chron., April 24.) 



[Ostentatious and selfish this practice may well be called. It can only be accounted for from 

 that utter want of sympathy for the lower classes which in this country exists among the higher ; 

 the consequence of extreme inequality in the distribution of wealth and knowledge. It is good 

 to record cases of this kind, because they assist in awakening reflection. Every evil must be 

 known and felt, before a remedy can even be wished for. J 



NOEFOLK. 



Norfolk and Norwich Horticultural Society. — This useful and increasing 

 Society held their Second Show of Fruits, Culinary Vegetables, and Flowers on May 26. A great 

 number of specimens were again sent in, and were very tastefully arranged on tables in the centre 

 of the hall ; the display of pelargoniums, geraniums, tulips, cactuses, rhododendrons, irises, &c, 

 was truly splendid. In the adjudication made, it is with much pleasure we refer to four prizes 

 given to industrious cottagers, as it affords a proof of the spirit of emulation excited by the esta- 

 blishment of this Society, — a spirit which in its progress must be productive of the best results. 

 Prizes were awarded as follows : — 



Flowers. Tulip, The Glory of Norwich, Mr. Wilson. Pelargbnium Soutbcote<bM»«, Eev. J.
