Vale of Evesham Horticultural Society. — April 22. There was a superb dis- 

 play of auriculas and hyacinths from Mr. Holmes, Mr. Hunt, and Mr. Davies, as well as of stove 

 and green-house plants. Fine specimens of large asparagus and cucumbers from Mr. New, Sir 

 Charles Throckmorton, and Mr. Jessop ; and thirty-six plates of various sorts of apples were 

 exhibited in the highest state of preservation. Amongst a numerous selection of stove and green- 

 house plants, there was a specimen of Cactus specibsa engrafted upon Cactus grandiflbra, the 

 flowers being evidently increased in size thereby ; also two plants of Cactus specibsa, each con- 

 taining upwards of sixty blossoms ; 3/imulus moschatus, Pitcairnia staminea, and CorraVa 

 spec.bsa, all from the garden of the President, E. Rudge, Esq., who produced a sample of wine 

 made entirely from the fruit of the black-heart cherry, that had been one year in the cask, and 

 two years in bottle: it was a sound specimen of British wine, and likely to keep well in bottle.

MONMOUTHSHIRE. 



The Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire Horticultural Society held its General 

 Meeting in Cardiff on April 28. The productions from the gardens of the neighbouring gentry 

 were both more numerous and more beautiful than at any previous show. Sir Charles Morgan 

 sent several very beautiful flowers ; but those which attracted the most particular attention, and 

 deservedly so, were sent by J. Moggridge, Esq., of Gabalva. We are happy to see that this 

 Society is producing much good amongst the cottagers, by inducing them to cultivate their 

 gardens with more attention, and in a better manner, than heretofore. Some of the flowers exhi- 

 bited by this class of persons would have done credit even to a professed gardener. The following 

 members were appointed judges of the Show : — J. H. Moggridge, Esq., William Head Deacon,

HEREFORDSHIRE. 



Herefordshire Horticultural Society. — April 23. In the flower department, 

 perhaps, the selfs class of auriculas was deficient in a trifling degree, but the abundance and 

 beauty of the alpines, most of which were seedlings, more than compensated ; and it is a pleasing 

 duty to add, that those very choice flowers are the produce of seeds sown by the fair hand of one 

 of the earliest patronesses of this flourishing Society. The polyanthuses were good and in full 

 supply, but the hyacinths were not so numerous as we have seen them, which has been the cage 

 generally throughout the kingdom. The green-house plants were excellent, amongst which the
