Nottingham Floral and Horticultural Society. 
The fourth and last exhibition for the season of this Society was 
held on Wednesday, 17th September, at the Exchange Rooms in 
this town. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable state of the 
weather for a week previous to the show, with two very severe 
frosty nights, the display of dahlias, which always forms the 
chief feature of the September meeting, was most excellent as 
regards quality, and were decidedly the best ever exhibited in 
Nottingham ; nay, we very much doubt if the pan of 24 blooms 
forwarded by the Rev. R. Sutton, to which the first prize was 
awarded, was ever surpassed, for we never have seen one so 
good ; and we heard those declare the same who are in the 
habit of attending most of the leading exhibitions in England. 
The same remarks will apply to the best pan of 12 blooms, 
exhibited by J. H. M. Sutton, Esq. The second prize of 24 
blooms was awarded to Mr. Edwards, for some very beautiful 
flowers. The best collection was taken by the Rev. R. Sutton, 
and the second by Mr. J. Spencer. These were likewise superb 
flowers.
