HALESOWEN AND HAOLEY FLORAL SOCIETY.—We have
much pleasure in announcing that B. Gibbons. Esq., has
kindly given the Committee permission to hold their
next Exhibition in his beautiful grounds at The Leas-
owes, Halesowen, and also the show is fixed to take place
on Tuesday, July 26th. We have no doubt, should the
weather prove favourable, considering the classical and
picturesque spot fixed upon, together with the ample ar-
rangements usually made by the Committee, which we
believe are already commenced, that the show will sus-
tain its peevious high character, and a thorough floral
treat is in store for the inhabitants of this and the sur-
rounding neighbourhood, which we trust they will duly
appreciate.
