DEVIZE I.— Novemiier ISts. 
This Exhibition is always hold in connection with a bazaar in aid 
of the Devizes Benevolent Scoiety, and takes place in the Corn Ex¬

be stated that the exhibits were of a very meritorious character ; the 
trained plants were equal to, if not superior, to any at the Royal 
Aquarium. The promoters of the Devizes Show deserve every encourage¬

with the best flowers.

Glenny, Mrs. Dixon, and Lord Alcester. Second Mr. Clack, gardener 
to C. E. Colston, Esq., Roundway Park, Devizes, his two best specimens 
being Barbara and Mrs. G. Rundle, but they fell far short of Mr. 
May’s in the matter of quality. Mr. May also had the best three
