626 Provincial Horl. Societies : — Herefordshire. 



At the back of the long table, the twenty prizes in green-house and hardy 

 plants, cockscombs, and balsams were placed, and the front was covered 

 with upwards of two hundred plates of gooseberries, currants, raspberries, 

 and other fruits. The cockscombs were remarkably fine, many of the 

 blooms much exceeding a foot in length. The grower, Mr. Reynolds, 

 has been long known as first rate in this rich flower. In the centre of the 

 room the long stage was covered with an infinite variety of named double 

 georginas, carnations, and picotees ; this mixed assemblage formed a most 

 fascinating sight, and we never witnessed a field of colour so rich, mellow, 

 and sparkling. We understand that the Ross florists will in future exhibit 

 their georginas in seven classes, which alone can meet the merits of this 

 most clelightful production. The prizes in carnations, picotees, and georginas 

 were placed on a separate table, and the florists declared that they had never 

 seen staged such prime blooms. The prizes were awarded as under : —
