ever grown . The fruit were very large , beautifully

Another International Horticultural 
U Exhibition. — By a circular to hand we 
note that what is promised to be a big 
Horticultural Exhibition, and no mistake, 
will be held in London during the present 
year. The extensive site formerly em¬ 
ployed for various large exhibitions at 
Earl’s Court it is proposed to utilise in a 
way which, if carried out as mentioned 
in the circular, will indeed be the biggest
