lions in front. The weather was unusually favour-
able, and the company numerous and fashionable.
The show consisted of the flowers and fruits of the
season, to which were added some exotic plants of
great rarity and beauty. The roses, although _small
in quality, were of very superior quality and fra-
grance, and the fuchsias of surpAssing beauty.
The specimens exhibited yesterday were conspicu-
ous for their great symmetry of form, a point

which has long been a desideratum with hortical-

turists, and the general opinion was that the sueorss
of the day's show would restore this beautind
flower to all its former favour. The pelargoniums
were remarkably fine and in great abundance, in.
eluding several new and striking varieties. In this

inggreat size and beauty and deli • mous perfume. Be-
side it stood a gem known to ho • rticulturists as the
Lapageria Rosea, being a white • variety cf that
exquisite flower, now for the first time exhibited.
These plants were surrounded by crowds of ad-
mirers throughout the day. Of the fruit it would
be impossible to speak too highly.
The peaches,
nectarines, grapes, and strawberries were all and
each superb. A curiosity in this class, the idea of
which we owe to the Chinese, consisted of the
miniature peach, nectarine, and plume trees exhi-
bited by Lane and Son, which were small enough
to form ornaments, with the ripe fruit growing, for
the dinner table. •
The exhibition was Visited by the Prince and
Princess Charles of Resat', Princes Henry and Wil-
liam and Princess. Anna., attended by the following
members a - the_ Atratttilitl'ar !-Weio9r
