CALENDAR1AL MEMORANDA FOR JULY. 
27 5 
These gardens are every year becoming more interesting to the sub¬ 
scribers, and to the public in general. The trees are advancing in 
height and the shrubs in volume, so as to give some idea of their stature 
and natural forms; and being all labelled, no questions need be asked 
of the attendants; in fact, for this purpose no attendant is required in 
perambulating either the arboretum or fruit departments of the garden. 
Two other dower exhibitions have lately taken place in London ; 
and, what is rather strange, were appointed by the managers to be held 
on the same days, viz. the 15th and 16tn of June. The drst announced 
was at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, where something of the same 
kind took place last year. The second, that of the Metropolitan 
Society of Florists, in the Regent’s Park. Both exhibitions, we hear, 
were attended by very respectable assistants and exhibitors; but the 
spirit of rivalry has generated some rancorous feeling, which, to say the 
least of it, is exceedingly unseemly among the lovers of flowers. 
The newspapers report that the exhibitors at the Surrey, after the 
business of the day, dined at the Horns, Kennington. Mr. Taylor 
took the chair, and was supported by many gentlemen in the Floricul- 
tural world, but unconnected with any other society of a similar 
description. Fifty sat down to dinner. 
Mrs. Marryat, of Wimbledon, J. Alnutt, Esq., — Curtis, Esq., Mr. 
Young, of Epsom, Mr. Watts, Mr. Hogg, &c., &c. were among the 
fortunate exhibitors.

KITCHEN GARDEN. 
Notwithstanding this garden is now full of good things, many of 
the crops being in the highest perfection, the gathering of them is not the 
only business of the superintendent; he must still be looking forward, 
and, indeed, very much of the produce of his labours coming into use 
when such produce is most valued, depends on what was done in the 
last, or what may still be done in the present month. Every gardener 
should have or make a true estimate of what is expected of him at all 
seasons ; according to the family establishment in which he is employed, 
or according to the extent of ground and other means he lias at com¬ 
mand. And there is an old axiom which should be borne in mind— 
that it is impossible to have enough of any one crop, without having 
too much.
