FLORICULTURAL INTELLIGENCE. 
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETIES. 
June 1 \th. Chiswick. The second show of the Hor¬ 
ticultural Society took place in the Society’s gardens. The 
show of plants was extremely good and numerous. The 
best large collection of miscellaneous plants, of from 50 to 
60 species, was shown by Mr. Green, and contained splendid 
specimens of Tyrias, Gloxinias, Azaleas, Tropseolums, Leclie- 
naultia biloba, Pimelea decussata, Ericas, &c, Mr. Goode, 
gardener to Mrs. Lawrence, Ealing Park, had also a very 
fine collection : among them were Francisea latifolia, some 
Boronias, Ixoras, Azaleas, and a fine specimen of Euphorbia 
splendens. Mr. Hunt, gardener to Miss Trail, of Bromley, 
exhibited a very good collection; and the small collections, of 
from 15 to 20 species, of Mr. Barnes and Mr. Goode, con¬ 
tained beautifully-grown plants. The Roses were very good, 
but we think not so numerous as on former occasions, at the 
same season ; the day was so extremely hot that many of the cut 
flowers suffered considerably. The Geraniums were never better. 
Mr. Catleugh exhibited a fine collection, containing Florance, 
Madelina, Victory, Lifeguardsman, Lord Mayor, Priory Queen, 
Coronation, Hannah, Una, Selina, Orange-Boven, and Foster’s 
Prince Albert. Mr. Gaines’ 12 were Alba perfecta, Coronation, 
Jewess, Sylph, Erectum, Cerito, Victory, Beatrice, Raphael, 
Grand Duke, Leilia Jones, and Exquisite; Catleugh’s 6 were 
Jewess, Victory, Ophelia, Lord Mayor, Madonna, and Beatrice. 
Mr. Wholmes, gardener to E. Foster, Esq., exhibited four seed¬ 
lings, one, called Sir R. Peel, is a beautiful flower; the others 
were named Sultana, Nestor, and Sunshine. Mr. Beck, of 
Isleworth, had also a stand of seedlings; one called Leonora, is 
a very good flower, another of Mr. Beck’s, called Meteor, appears 
a promising variety. Mr, Pamplin, of Hornsey, exhibited a 
good seedling, called Duke of Devonshire. A large collection 
of Ranunculus were shown by Messrs. Lockhart, of Cheapside,
