THE HORTICULTURAL '.OOIETY.
The second flower show of this society took place on
Saturday in the grounds at Chiswick, and the fineness
of the day attracted an immense number of visitors
The grounds were in excellent order, and the display of
fruits and flowers extremely rich and varied. In con
sequence of the large additional contributions in these
departments, several new tents were erected; sad one of
the new features of the show, the American garden, in
which the rhododendrons and all the other American
flowering shrubs are collected, attracted much attention.
An immense space of ground has been covered with can-
vass at the back of the large conservatory, and here Mr
Hosea Waterer has wrought together a very attractive
and interesting display of these flowers. The bands of
the Coldstream, Royal Horse Guards, and Ist Lite
Guards were, as usual, in attendance, and contributed
to the enjoyment of the visitors. Among the company
we observed his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, the
Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, her Royal High-
ness the Duchess of Orleans, the Duchess of Sutherland,
the Duke and Duchess of Argyll, Lord and Lady Blan-
tyre, the Marquis of Winchester, the Marquis of Tweed-
dale, Lord John and Lady Russell, the Bishop of Win•
cheater, the Earl of Itchester, Lord Rolle, Lord Sondes,
