This exhibition was by far the most splendid we have seen since the formation of the Society. 

 Four pines, from the garden of the Marchioness of Downshire, weighed 21J lbs. each, being 

 a distinct variety, and not one of them of the Providence kind. The prize plums (Caledonian) 

 attracted much attention, the dish, twelve in number, weighing 43£ oz. Of two fine speci- 

 mens of the shaddock tribe (Citrus A/tfdica), exhibited by Mr. Smith, the largest 165 m. in 

 circumference, weighed 35 oz. A very curious specimen of vegetable (Cucurbita claviformis) 

 was exhibited by J. C. Kent, Esq., which has the singular property of continuing its growth after 

 a part has been taken off; the same gentleman likewise sent three fine specimens of green and 

 purple-leaved kohl rabi, which attracted much attention. Of georginas, upwards of 800 specimens 

 were placed on the stand. A blue Campanula pyramidalis, from the garden of Mr. W. Redding, 

 stood upwards of 8 ft. high, and was completely covered with flowers. (Berroiu's Worcester Jour- 

 nal, Sept. 16.)
