In the afternoon the members of the Ancient Society of York 
Florists entertained the members of the Royal National Society to 
lunch at the White Swan Hotel, Goodramgate. Mr. A. Simpson, in the 
unavoidable absence of the Lord Mayor, presided, and was supported by 
the Rev H. Vyvyan (chaplain to the York Society), and the Rev. F. D. 
Horner (President of the Tulip Society). After the loyal toasts Mr. 
Cooper proposed “The Visitors,” which was responded to by the Rev; 
F. D. Horner, who warmly thanked the local Society for the whole¬ 
heartedness of the greeting and welcome they had given the Tulip 
Society. Mr. Thurstan also replied, and proposed “ The Ancient Society 
of York Florists.” Mr. Mackintosh in reply said that it the Tulip 
Society could only have given them a longer notice of their visit they 
would have prepared a better reception, and instead of making a 
donation of £10 they would have tried to have doubled that sum. A 
hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman, which he suitably acknowledged, 
terminated the proceedings. 
WAKEFIELD TULIP SOCIETY’S EXHIBITION (59th). 
MAY 21st and 22nd. 
The genial spring weather during the earlier stages of the Tulips 
caused viaorous growth of great breadth and texture, and never pre¬ 
viously did prospects of a fine display of bloom look so bright until the 
advent of “ fickle May ” dissipated the hopes of the growers. Consistent 
in its fickleness the month’s weather became worse—sunless, rain and 
frost alternating, culminating with 12° of frost on the morning of the 
show. Under more genial influences the blooms would have opened ten 
days previous, whereas the growers were in despair because they had 
scarcely an opportunity to examine the markings and character of the 
flowers, and to make matters worse the effect of the weather was a 
general flushing of the colours of the outside of the petals, and varieties 
which require full development to dissipate the unwelcome impurity of 
base gave much anxiety on this account. 
It has been stated that the Tulip is an excellent town plant. In 
the ordinary sense this is correct, but it did not require an expert to 
distinguish the blooms produced outside the smoke radius of the City 
from those grown in the time-honoured “ Nettle Lane ” and “ Eastmoor,” 
with the immense gasometers as their too near neighbours. Upwards 
of 800 blooms were staged, and in spite of the season, viewed in the 
aggregate, the show was an imposing one. The varied colours of the 
rectified flowers contrasted most effectively with the indefinite yet 
richer coloured breeders. The stands for six rectified, six breeders, 
stands for threes, and single specimen classes ran eight deep in competi¬ 
tion, and much interest was created in the awards on account of several 
young exhibitors pushing their way to the front of the veteran growers.

BUTLEY TULIP SOCIETY. 
The sixty-ninth Exhibition of this Society was held at the Orange 
Tree Inn, Butley, near Macclesfield, on May 25th. The flowers 
exhibited were numerous and (especially the rectified flowers) good. 
The chief prize at Butley is a silver cup given for the best stand of six 
blooms, one feathered and one flamed of each class. It was this year 
given by Mrs. Barlow, in memory of the late Samuel Barlow, Esq., 
formerly President of the Society. There was a good competition for 
the cup, which the Judges awarded to Mr. Charles W. Needham, Royley, 
Royton. His flowers were Sir Joseph Paxton, flamed bizarre ; George 
Hayward, feathered bizarre; Elizabeth Pegg, flamed bybloemen; 
Elizabeth Pegg, feathered bybloemen; Triomphe Royale, flamed rose; 
and Heroine, feathered rose. The flowers were all good, the feathered 
blooms being of unusual merit. Mr. James W. Bentley was second with 
a good stand, comprising Sir Joseph Paxton, flamed bizarre ; James 
McIntosh, feathered bizarre ; Talisman, flamed bybloemen; Violet 
Amiable, feathered bybloemen ; Annie McGregor, flamed rose ; and
