collection, among which were thirty seedling shrubby calceolarias, one 
of them pure white, a great rarity; there were also among them scarlet, 
dark purple, cream colour, very large ; others variegated: a great variety 
of shrubby calceolarias named. A number of seedling geraniums, in 
one of which the upper petals were black and the under ones pure 
white, to be named Enchantress, for its extraordinary rarity. Seedling 
pinks a very beautiful collection. Of seedling heartsease a large 
collection. A collection of roses, very good. A beautiful green-house 
plant, Pirnelia decussata , in full bloom, &c. 
The show of fruits though not large, was in many respects very fine; 
there were those, however, there that were scarcely worthy such a 
situation. The apples, as well of the last year’s crop, as the produce of 
the present season, were extraordinary, but there was a failure of 
melons. 
Of vegetables, the exhibition as well as being large, was singularly 
fine, and among them we were pleased to witness the abundance as well 
as quality of those produced by cottagers : among these was an extraor¬ 
dinary cabbage, afterwards more particularly noticed, and mentioned 
here because grown by the deserving cottager mentioned at the last 
exhibition, on a before barren spot at the top of Stoke Hill. 
The judges on this occasion were: for Fruit—Dr. Miller and J. 
Dunston, Esq., Carsfield, Clist St. George. Vegetables—Captain 
John Greenway, R.N., St. Thomas; Captain Toll, Perridge ; Thomas
