Hereford Horticultural Society. — The Second Exhibition for the present 

 year took place on May 23., and it may safely be pronounced a most ex- 

 cellent display. The tulips were very numerous, generally well broken (or 

 distinct in colouring), and many of them the produce of bulbs of consider- 

 able value. The anemones were not numerous, but good. The stove and 

 green-house plants, including pelargoniums, were in fine flower, and un- 

 commonly abundant; and, amongst the latter, "Paul Pry" intruded, but 

 was completely superseded by others more recently raised, in point of 

 colour and other essential qualities. The large stage was even crowded, 

 and presented the appearance of a mass of bloom. The whole arrangement 

 gave satisfaction to every subscriber of the Society anxious for its pros- 

 perity, and was witnessed by most of the rank and fashion of the city and 

 county, the day being extremely fine. In comparing this exhibition with 

 the Tulip Show of last season, we find that 150 productions were entered 

 for competition on this occasion more than on that; indeed, the prize-stand 

 was not sufficient to contain one half of them ; which must have been evi- 

 dent to visitors, the pelargoniums and hardy plants being placed on the 

 stationary side-forms of the room, which never had been the case on any 

 previous occasion ; and, on referring to the tickets of admission, there ap- 

 peared a corresponding majority of visitors also, which, together with the 

 additions of between twenty and thirty new subscribers of the present year, 

 speaks for itself Prizes were awarded as follows : —
