FLOWER SHOW AT THE SURREY
ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
The " Royal South London Floricultural Society "
held their annual May show of flowers, fruits, and vege-
tables, at the Surrey Gardens yesterday. The day was
most propitious, and, large as had been the concourse of
visitors to the ordinary amusements of this agreeable
promenade on Monday, the numbers were yesterday fully
equal, if not indeed greater. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, attended by his suite, arrived at an
early hour, and having passed through the several mar-
quees in which the flowers and plants were exhibited, he
proceeded to view the painting of Gibraltar, with which
he expressed himself highly pleased, and complimented
the artist (Mr. Denson), who happened to be present,
and whom his Royal Highness desired to be presented to,
him.
The show of plants and flowers was excellent. Some
of the finest had been previously exhibited at Chiswick,
but the genial weather since the Chiswick show had
materially improved their appearance. The Pelargo_
niums, Azaleas, and Cape Heaths were particularly fine.
The Cacti were good, but few. There were some beauti-
ful tulips, and several exquisite specimens of heartsease.
