MANCHESTER ROYAL BOTANICAL & HORTICULTURAL. 
July I6lh. 
The Rose show held under the auspices of the above, at the 
society’s gardens, Old Trafford, proved highly successful, for, 
in addition to a good show and a lovely day, the visitors came 
in throngs at times so dense that they were three or four deep 
in front of the stands. Undoubtedly this surprise to the execu¬ 
tive will prove a welcome one, not only for the increased 
finances, but from the point that horticultural exhibits, 
especially the Queen of Flowers, can still attract interested 
visitors. 
In addition to the Roses, Sweet Peas and herbaceous cut 
flowers were staged in quantity and quality.
