THE FLORIST AND POMOLOGIST. 
[ August, 
fine flowers being staged. The date was too 
late for the Southern flowers generally, Mr. 
Turner’s especially, but Mr. Douglas managed 
to bring his blooms out fresh and bright- 
looking, and thus secured a high place on the 
prize list. Time does not permit us to com¬ 
ment on the numerous beautiful varieties which 
were staged. We leave this general survey in 
far more competent hands, and hope to publish 
it hereafter ; in the meanwhile, we may state 
that the Society owes its deepest obligations to 
the energetic Hon. Secretary, Mr. E. S. Dodwell, 
whose ready help is at all times brought to 
bear on the best interests of the Society. The
