 innumerable-named roses, pinks, ranunculuses, and, to us, Nature's beauty, 

 the double dahha (although not in quantity), much aided the splendour of 

 this portion of the exhibition. The table for strawberries and cherries was 

 most abundantly covered; and we heard a lady pronounce the strawberries 

 young lobsters : several plates of Wilmott's Superb having the specimens 

 exceeding an ounce in weight, and many plates of Keen's Seedling took less 

 than twenty to the pound. The table for vegetables was well filled, and 

 some heads of cauliflower were 12 in. in diameter. The number of speci- 

 mens ticketed and entered amounted to 1131, much exceeding any previous 

 Show. The prizes were adjudged as under : —

Yorhshire Horticultural Society. — On June 3., the Yorkshire Horticul- 

 tural Society held their June Meeting in Wakefield. From the unfavour- 

 able state of the weather for several weeks past, it was not expected that 

 the display of fruits and flowers would be so choice as might otherwise 

 have been looked for. On entering the room, however, the visitors were
