Tulips...The show of these was pretty good for this period of the season. 
Anemonies...Few shown, but these good. 
Pansies...A most excellent show. One pan of 24 very fine ones shown by ihomas 
Davenport, a colour mixer from Stand, obtained as a prize a silver medallion, presented by 
Mr. T. D. Watkinson, seedsman. There were some fine pans of Mr. Watkinson’s own 
showing also, and some splendid varieties from Mr. John Henchman, of Edmonton. 
There were several fine baskets of flowers, the spoils of large gardens ; some remarkably 
fine orchideous plants from the gardens ot Mr. Brockleliurst, of Macclesfield, Rev. John 
Clowes, and other gentlemen; amongst them was a very splendid Saccolabium guttatum,

Tankervilii; Cirrhea viridipurpurea; as well as other less known plants; Oncidia, 
Maxillaria Vitellinum, and M. Deppei, Epidendroti fragrans, Brassia maculata, &c. 
Of the flowering and ornamental shrubs, there was great variety, including Pelar¬ 
goniums, Calceolarias, Cinerarias, Ericas, and some gorgeous Cacti. Amongst the fragrant 
charms of this table, were some beautiful Yellow Noisette Roses. A fine blooming 
Hydrangia hortensis was much admired. _ 
The fruits and vegetables were the best ever seen here at this season,_ especially the 
Pines, Grapes, Strawberries, and some immense Rhubarb, eight stalks weighing 35J lbs., 
and 41 inches long in stem. Amongst the fruit, Apples and Pears of last year’s growth 
in fine preservation. 
The promenade was enlivened by two military bands. The public were 
admitted at 2 s . 6d., and at four o’clock at Is. each. 
The next Show is fixed for 30th June, at the Gardens, Old TrafFord.
