Bury Horticultural Society. — At the Meeting of this Society on July 28. 

 the show of flowers, fruits, and vegetables was excellent : amongst the most 

 note-worthy were Eucomis striata, Thunb^'gj'a alata, and Crassula cocci- 

 nea, by Mr. Hodson ; georginas, carnations, melons (including some very 

 fine ones, not offered for the prize, by J. Phillips, Esq.), lettuces, and onions 

 of immense size, &c. Several specimens arrived too late to be submitted 

 to the judges. The two prizes of one guinea each for cottage gardens 

 gave great satisfaction, and, we trust, will be of the most beneficial tendency. 

 The following was the award : — 



Flowers. Carnations : Bizards, six sorts, Mr. Barrett ; Flakes, Mr. Bar- 

 rett ; Picotees, Mr, Lord. Best Bouquet, Mr. Hammond. — Fruit. Melon,
