EOYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY’S EXHIBITION, 
September 11th. 
In two great shows following so close one upon the other, there 
must of necessity be a great similarity, the same exhibitors well- 
nigh in each place, the same flowers, and the same prizes. As 
the Palace ” Show has been reported, I shall merely mention a few 
of the more notable things that struck me in the Florist’s “ way.” 
As the Exhibition was called a “ Grand Dahlia Show,” we must 
first begin with those favourite autumnal flowers, which, despite 
the “ classical’s” epithet of “lumpish,” we shall still consider A 1. 
The exhibition missed the presence, as a competitor, of Mr. 
Charles Turner, of Slough, for the thrvps had so completely con¬ 
quered him that a few days before, when I was there, he had taken 
away all his shades, stands, &c., and had determined to submit to 
the invasion of blacks^ which had made fast quite on one side. 
Mr. Keynes, of Salisbury, stept into the front rank, and took the 
three fir.st prizes oftered to nurserymen. The best box of Dahlias 
in the Show was his. It contained admirably done blooms of
