Spring Show , open to all England. 
On Wednesday, May 7th, a show, open to all England (the 
first of the kind in this town), was held at the Exchange Rooms, 
under the patronage of the Mayor. The exhibition was opened 
at two o’clock, for the admission of a numerous and fashionable 
company; and a more captivating coup d'ceil can scarcely be 
conceived than was presented on entering the room. Ihe 
plants, generally speaking, were in excellent condition: the 
greenhouse Azaleas, which occupied a considerable space, 
added much to the splendour of the scene, by their thousands 
of gay and lively blooms. F. Wright, Esq., took the first 
prize, for six admirably-trained plants ; and the prize for the 
best single specimen was likewise taken by the same gentleman, 
the second prize being awarded to A. Lowe, Esq., for Indica 
alba. Mr. Pearson obtained the first prize for six Fuchsias, 
and likewise for the single specimen, which was a most beautiful 
plant. Mr. F. Wright was also the most successful competitor 
for the six best distinct greenhouse plants, Mr. Lowe taking the 
second prize. A miscellaneous collection of plants (consisting of 
upwards of 200) in flower, forwarded by Mr. Pearson, was gieatly 
admired; and two miscellaneous collections of twenty house 
plants, forwarded by Mr. F. Wright and Mr. Lowe, attracted 
much attention. The Hyacinths, considering the lateness of the 
season, were truly splendid, and their delightful fragrance filled 
the room; they were forwarded by Mr. S. Wright. The Auri¬ 
culas, which we could scarcely have expected, consideiing 
the late spring, were also very excellent, and were greatly ad¬ 
mired; they were sent by Mr. Staton, Mr. Harpham, and Mi. 
Pearson.
