520 Provincial Horticultural Societies : — ■ Yorkshire, 



we hear they stand unrivalled ; we trust they will maintain their high character, being, as it were, 

 the parent or original society from which, in various parts of the kingdom, upwards of 100 

 societies have established themselves; thus affording to the public an endless and ever-delightful 

 gratification. The tulips, notwithstanding the advanced season and frosts in April, were in great 

 number, and of excellent family, but we found them generally in too much colour, which we 

 heard was the case in most parts of the kingdom. The hint in our article last year, we were 

 glad to find, met with attention, and we can now say the Ross florists can show anemones. The 

 number of specimens ticketed and entered in the books amounted to S10, and the evening's sale 

 of unremoved asparagus and peas to \5s. \Qd. The prizes were awarded as under : —
