FLOWER SHOW AT THE SURREY

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.
The Royal South London Floricultural Society held
their second miscellaneous flower show at these gardens
yesterday, and it has never fallen to our lot to report a
more successful exhibition. The day, which was cloudy
at the commencement, continued particularly favourable
throughout, not scorching hnt or boisterous as has pre-
vailed lately, but partaking sufficiently of both to render
a flower show delightful. The display of fireworks was
most magnificent, certainly the best we have seen in
these gardens. This society, which ranks second only
to the Horticultural and Botanical Societies, is making
rapid progress in public estimation, as was demonstrated
by the full and fashionable attendance yesterday. The
gardens were crowded, we think not less than twelve
thousand could be present—and every one was delighted
with the entertainment provided for them. The pelar-
goniums, roses, heaths, fruit—in fact, the whole display
was remarkable for quantity and quality. The prizes
were awarded as follow:
