Nottingham Floral and Horticultural Society. - 
The third meeting of this Society was held at the Assembly 
Rooms, on Wednesday the 2d instant, for the exhibition of 
Carnations ; Stove, Greenhouse, and FXerbaceous 1 lants , 
Ericas and Hardy Shrubs; and, considering the late unpro- 
pitious weather, we were agreeably surprised to see so ad¬ 
mirable a display of plants and flowers. 
Of all the flowers that adorn the garden — whether they 
charm the eye by their beauty of form or richness of coloui, 
or regale the sense of smelling by their fragrance — none can 
excel our old favourite, the Carnation, the unrivalled merits ol 
which are canonised in the immortal verse of Shakspeare: — 
“ The fairest flowers o’ the season 
Are our Carnations and streak’d Gilliflowers.” 
The Orchideous and Stove Plants forwarded by George 
Walker, Esq., and F. Wright, Esq., attracted great attention; 
and we cannot let this opportunity pass without noticing the 
great improvement in this part of the exhibition. We trust 
that the Society will receive every assistance from the gen¬ 
tlemen of the neighbourhood, as these tender, but most beau¬ 
tiful plants, cannot be conveyed any great distance.
