July 9. Ayrshire Horticultural and Agricultural Society. —The 
second exhibition of this Society, for the season, took place in the large room 
of the Ayr Anns Inn. Amongst the more attractive displays was a collection 
of Roses from Rozelle, embracing a number of hybrids between the China 
and garden species, which were greatly admired, as somewhat rare at this 
period of the year. A basket, or rather a pyramid, of flowers, neatly arranged 
in moss, and consisting of upwards of 300 varieties, from Belleisle, attracted 
general attention. A large and very beautiful plant of Fuchsia fulgens, and a 
splendid specimen of Fuchsia globosa, also from Belleisle, presented a distin¬ 
guished appearance. Amongst the fruits, some excellent Strawberries were 
shown from Rozelle, and the gardens of Mr. Imrie, seedsman. The Melons 
were also very excellent specimens of what can be grown in our northern 
climate. The judges, Mr. Young, gardener, Holmes; Mr. Rentoul, gardener, 
Coilsfield; Mr. Kay, Kilmarnock; Mr. J. Smith, and Bailie Wm. Smith, 
Prestwick, awarded the prizes as follows :—
