THE FLORIST’S JOURNAL. 
NOTTINGHAM FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIETY. 
On Wednesday the 25th June, the second show of the above Society for 
the present season was held at the Exchange Rooms. The exhibition was 
opened to the public at two o’clock, and a numerous and highly-fashionable 
company soon after assembled. 
The three large rooms were, on the present occasion, thrown into one, and 
could scarcely then contain the numerous specimens exhibited. 
The Roses were splendid. This department was greatly enriched by the 
splendid collections from the gardens of Mr. Pearson, of Chilwell, and Mr. 
Frettingham, of Beeston, and more especially by a beautiful box of wall- 
roses, from the first-named gentleman. 
The Pinks were very good ; and the miscellaneous collections of cut flowers 
were gorgeous in the extreme, and greatly admired. 
The large room was filled with plants, of which the Pelargoniums occupied 
a considerable space, and were remarkably fine. 
The Fuchsias were numerous, and attracted much attention. 
There were six splendidly-grown greenhouse plants from A. Lowe, Esq., 
for which the first prize was awarded. 
The Ericas were remarkably fine, especially the best single specimen 
(Jasminiflora), forwarded by A. Lowe, Esq.
