FLORICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE. 
August. South London Floricultural Society. The Dahlia Show, 
at the Surrey Zoological Gardens, was visited by the largest assemblage of 
company that we ever witnessed at this or any other floral exhibition ; during 
the afternoon there could not have been less than 30,000 persons in the 
garden. 
The stands of Dahlias contained a number of handsome blooms, although 
a portion appeared to have suffered from the weather. There were some good 
seedlings, most of which, however, we have already seen and noticed in former 
papers; among them were a pretty white, from Mr. Neville, of Peckham, 
called Princess Royal; a dark and rather small flower, from Mr. Wharton; a 
beautiful white, from Mr. Wildman ; an orange, from Mr. Pain, of Mitcham ; 
a good purple, from Mr. Wildman ; a good orange, from Mr. Brown, of Slough, 
called Marquis of Lansdowne ; a beautiful lilac, from Mr. Jeffries, of Ipswich, 
called Lady Harland ; and a lilac, from Mr. Sadler, of Walworth. 
The collections of Plants were remarkably good, considering the time of 
year; that of Mr. Coutts contained some handsome specimens of Gloxinia, 
Vinca, &c. Mr. Denyers had a great variety of Heaths, Fuchsias, &e. Mr. 
Groom exhibited a collection of Lilium lancifolium album, which was much 
admired. Messrs. Paul, of Cheshunt, sent a splendid collection of Roses. 
Collections of Cut Flowers were shown by Messrs. Denyer, Bruce, Davies, 
and Bursell; Asters by Messrs. Paul, Edmonds, Halley, and Fester. Mr. 
Tansley, of Croydon, exhibited a handsome specimen of Fuchsia corymbi- 
flora; aud Mr. Cuthill, of Camberwell, a well grown plant of Lisianthus 
Russellianus.
