NOTTINGHAM FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 171 
same gentleman likewise deserve especial notice ; besides other 
interesting productions of the greenhouse, which evinced Mr. 
Walker’s consummate skill, and unsparing love of floriculture. 
A fine collection of stove and greenhouse plants, from F. 
Wright, Esq. (to whose unwearied exertions the Society is not 
a little indebted), and the Geraniums from William Cartledge, 
Esq., were greatly admired. 
There was a splendid collection of Roses from Mr. Pearson, 
who was a large contributor and very successful competitor on 
the occasion. From his well-stored houses and nursery he had 
supplied a fine collection of Geraniums, an excellent specimen 
of the Kalmia latifolia, a beautiful array of greenhouse plants, 
and a magnificent ornamental collection of flowering plants, as 
well as two pans of fine Pansies, one of which was composed of 
twenty blooms of his unrivalled seedling, Black Prince. 
Mr. Frettingham forwarded a large collection of American 
plants, as well as some excellent Geraniums. 
The Rose-growers were greatly disappointed, as, in conse¬ 
quence of the lateness of the season, they were not in flower: 
and we heard one gentleman state, that he was only able to cut 
nine blooms out of upwards of five hundred plants 1 The suc¬ 
cessful competitors will be found specified in our list of prizes.
