LODERS.

COiTacia Onanin Snow. —The sixth exhibition of the
Loden' Cottage Garden Show was held in the vicarage
grounds, on Friday, the 19th, under the patronage
of Sir Molyneux and Lady Newlin, of Loden' Court.
The show had been &deathbed to take plats on the Ink
but on sooount of the threatening stale of the weather.
it was thought advisable to postpone it until the follow-
ing day. As it happened Friday prised to b. the fii..sa
day of the week, and consequently the sixth exhibition
pa.seed off under the some pratneworthy easelss ma its five
predecessors. With regard to the show it was sertainir
suocessful and repaid the labours of thoee who procected
It. The tent was completely filled with garden
specimens of one kind or soother; there were nearly 70
competitors for the prises proposed in the shade*
almost every garden conveniently near the piths of ex-
bibition sending its contributions Those who are
acquainted with the long straggling nature of the parish
will es from the number of competitors that the show
has not owed to interest the parishioners, or at lawn,
those who can feel interested in matters that afford
Interest and pleasure to their neighbours. Loden is
not great in pot dowers, indeed the plants which adorn
the cottage windows are at the time of the show almost
out of blo m. Bat if Loden cannot boast of its flowers
it etc of its vegetables, and this it is that doubtless has
indneed the many who have seen them ones to some
and see them again and again. The vegetable that
would be most missed by all chines is the potato. The
potato is the great feature of the Loden' show. A
finer and • more varied eolleetion than was this year
exhibited is not often seen. Carrot., turnips, paradise,
and cabbages were very good, and malty extra pris s
had to be awarded. Path and beans were also good, but
another sestet vegetable has been solar', and in this
Loden is great—underground onions. There were
many competitors, ised it was • matter of difficulty to
deade upon their reepeetive merits Of course there
were many specimens of limit, black currante figuring

In full force, and some 'aphid collections of vegetables

competition is unfortunately very limited, hut yet ills
due to the few who did exhibit that they did their best,
and that beet not unsusiessfully, to enhance the show.
