XCV111 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



THE GEEAT FLO WEE SHOW 

 IN THE INNER TEMPLE GARDENS, LONDON, 

 Wednesday and Thursday, May 25 and 26, 1892. 



By the kind permission of the Treasurer and Masters of the 

 Bench, the Society was enabled to hold for the fifth time a grand 

 and magnificent show of flowers and fruit in the Inner Temple 

 Gardens on the above dates. 



The Exhibition was formally opened by the President of the 

 Society, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., accompanied by the Vice- 

 Presidents and members of the Council, at one o'clock on the 

 first day. 



The weather was on the whole favourable, and the attendance 

 of visitors was somewhat larger than in the previous year. 



The band of Her Majesty's Royal Horse Guards (Blues), 

 under the conductorship of Mr. Chas. Godfrey, was present each 

 day, and performed selections of music. 



The display of Orchids, Roses, Ferns, Caladiums, Palms, 

 Lilies, Cycads, Gloxinias, Calceolarias, Begonias, Pelargoniums, 

 ornamental stove and greenhouse plants, hardy herbaceous 

 plants, &c, was exceedingly grand ; and two days were far from 

 sufficient to examine in a satisfactory manner all the fine pro- 

 ducts of Flora and Pomona brought together on this occasion. 



The various awards made by the Council will in themselves 

 indicate the high estimation in which they regarded the groups 

 of the various exhibitors ; while new or noteworthy plants 

 received recognition in the form of Certificates, &c, recommended 

 by the Floral, Orchid, and Fruit Committees. 



The accompanying plans of the four large tents will indicate 

 the approximate position of almost every exhibitor, as well as 

 the nature of the exhibits brought together on this occasion.
