WILTS HORTICULTURA L. SOCIETY.
The autumn exhibition of this society was held es
Wednesday at Wilton Park, which bad bees kindly
at e disposal of the committee by Lady
placed
th
Herbert. Seldom have the public as opportunity of
roaming through three truly magnificent grounds,
and this wee of course • great attraction to visitors.
The atteadaece, however, was sot so numerous as
was anticirated, owing undoubtedly to the unsettled
state of the weather. A few slight 'bowers fell
during the afternoon, but they were sot 'MS.:tient to
prevent any one from remaining in the park. To
enter into a description of them beautiful grounds
would occupy greater space than we have at our com-
mand, and then it would convey but a faint idea of
their beauty and the general arrangements. In the
Italian paten there was a profusion of flowers which
were arranged with such exquisite testa, that bad
there bra a Moonier sky one might have suppoeed
that be had indeed entered one of the gardens of
sunny Italy. The osdars, which are celled the pride
of Wilton, were of necessity the object of much in-
tenet; and also the venerable ilex, under whose
branches Sir Philip Sydney is said to have composed
his "Arcadia." The Palladium bridge, the dates
of Shakspeare, the gromi-hoesse, Ike. , came in for
their glare of visitors, and those who had -the
privilege of weeding their way through the
imilad:i2 walks that surround the mansion
experi a treat they are not likely soon to
forget. The committee of the society had in addition
engaged the band of the Commissionaires, and they
played several operatic pieces during the afternoon
very creditably. The show itself was • very good
one, much better than the society bare hod for some
time. Two large teats were crowded with plants,
dowers, fruits and vegetables, and • portion had to
be deposited under one of the trees, as sufficient
room could not be found for them in the tents. The
fruit was exceedingly fine, the peaches being of re-
markable size. Mere were some very fine grapes
exhibited by Mr. Wright and Mr. JODI/. Mr.
Chard, gardener to Sir F. Bathurst, had two
very larr pines for which be obtained prizes.
The show of dahlias and roses was also good,
considering the season, which bee bees rather
tinfavosrable for their culture. Mr. Keynes, of
Salisbury, exhibited some very rare varieties, as did
also Mr. Wheeler, of Warminster. Some very rare
pleats were also exhibited; among them being a
very firm specimen of the Menage Zeliinis by Mr.
Chard. He also showed • fine specimen of the
Croton Pianos Feriegatuss. The flowers of the
A iimeanda Caasetiat, exhibited by Mr.
gardener to Lady Herbert, were verrlarge, and the
plant was • remarkably Ise can The Asiarylos
'Pollard Purparta, exhibited by the Rev. W.
Pigott, 11111111 worthy of especial Dail: was also the
creeper SiepAa *Mks filoriboacks, we by Mr.
Chard. Mr. Challis exhibited a creep.r Laprgeria
Roma, trained on an umbrella-shaped trellis, which
give it a very graceful appearance. It was in fall
bloom, and looked ezinediegly hosannas. There was
a moderate display of fuschiss, but they were not so
fine as we have sem at previous exhibitions. The
show of verbena' and French alien were exosUent,
and the competition was very keen is these classes.
Ho. 27, verbenas, was disqualified in coaseqestoos of
henna icor trusties instead of three, as the rides '
direct. Had this been attended to, • prize no
doubt would hare been awarded to it. Two or three
similar topiarian occurred in other dame owing I.
set 'efficient attention having been paid to the regu-
lations of the exhibitors. lath. Mame of feria, 13
were shown were 12 aloe* was required, and in
another two of the same variety were exhibited.
The competition for the prises offered for Ladies' 1
Rotiets was very spirited, the first being awarded
to Mn. George Wilkes, Salisbury, who displayed
great taste in the arrangement of the flowers, and
introduced • bird, which bad a very pretty effect.
She chaos as her motto, "Experience teaches many
tkiafro." Mae Mishima received the mooed prize
for a very Windom* stead of flowers, bey motto
being,
tenet siren alone to flowers
To brighten with their lines the hours,
But with a silence all sublime,
They channel., the march of time."
The 3rd prize was awarded to Miss Robeon,—esotto
" vilior alga ;" and the 4th to Moe Fisher—motto,
" not by whom but in what manner." A vane of
paper lowers very beautifully executed wasexhibited
by Mire E. Fermat, which obtained an extra prise.
The ginitlanien who undertook the duties of jedges
—were for plants and fruit, Mr. Wheeler and Mr.
Draper; Mr. Mooresetiag with Mr. Wheelers' judges
of fruit in oonsequeoos of Mr. Drew being an ax-
habitat; for amateurs, Mr. Moore and Mr. Hinzman ;

satisfaction in making their awards, which were es
