July . Stamford and Neighbourhood Floral and Horticultural 
Society. — In spite of the weather, the Show was the reverse of a small one, 
and did not shrink in comparison with any provincial exhibition with which 
we are acquainted. We feel confident that a real florist and horticulturist, 
and all interested in the success of such pursuits, would leave the Exhibition- 
rooms at StandwelPs Hotel satisfied that this Society must still enjoy the 
public favour, when it prevailed against such an enemy as it experienced in 
the weather.
