XX PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The Deputation assembled at the Town Hall, Truro, and were cordially 

 welcomed by the Hon. John Boscawen and other members of the 

 Executive, and after having made their awards they (together with the 

 Judges of the Show) were most hospitably entertained by P. Nix, Esq., of 

 Mount Pleasant, Truro. 



The Deputation brought away with them the pleasantest remembrances 

 of the kindly feeling manifested towards them by the representatives of 

 the Horticulture of the West Country. 



On the following day the members of the Deputation had the pleasure 

 of visiting the beautiful gardens of Penjerrick, by the kind invitation of 

 Robert Fox, Esq., and it is needless to say how delighted they were with 

 the luxuriant growth of all the rare trees and plants they saw there.
