THE CRYSTAL PALACE PLUWER 81-10 W.
..:—..--
The exhibition of autumn flowers, which eons-
:Deuced yesterday and will be closed to-sight, ill one of no-
usual magnitude and excellence. The stands of flowers sod
fruits till a good portion of both naves, and are crowded
with some of the moat beautiful specimens of bora-
; cultural art perhaps ever witnessed. The dahlias first
attract attention. The collection of these floe flowers
Pis undoubtedly the best that has been exhibited this
season. It is a peat improvement upon the show
of laat year, and the steads are graced by many new
and striking varieties. The raters, both French and
German, are likewise numerous, and of first-rate quality.
There are some excellent rases, but of course they
cannot be comparederith the special show held in Jane.
The hollyhocks are very remarkable. This is a flower
which is daily attracting more and more attention from florists,
and every year shows a marked improvement. No one, is
fact, can compare the blooms now at the Crystal Palace with
those of last summer without being struck with the advance
that has been made. The verbenas are very splendid. In-
deed, the trays of this beautiful flower appeared to attract
more ►ttentioo than almost any other. The gorgeous gladi-
olus was probably never more gorgeous than in its repre-
sentatives at Sydenham ; and flowers of greater merit were
perhaps never shown than those of Yr. Standish, of Bag-
shot, or of Messrs. Youell, of Yarmouth.

With regard to the fruit, language would fail to give a full
idea of the charm which it appears to possess for the visitors.
It perhaps does not speak well for the poetical geeing of our
people, but Pomona evidently beats ;Flora hollow in the
public appreciation. The pines were superb, and the grapes
seem almost miraculous. There is a very interesting show
of orchard-bowie trees by Messrs. Lane and Sou, of Berk-
hampatead.
The judges for dowers were Messrs. Holmes, Robinson.
C. Tuner, and F. E. Kinghorne, and the Rev. H. Dom.
blabs. For fruit they were Mesas. R. Solomon, A. Stewart,
and E. ROM.

The attendance yesterday was very large, equal, or per
haps superior, to that which was attracted during the Inter-
national year. It may be remarked, in conclusion, that the
grounds of the Palace themselves constitute just now a
dower show of no slight merit. The recent rains have
freshened the toe, and the green glades again look almost
their best, while the bedding plants never wore a more
brilliant or charming appearance.
