We have much pleasure in hearing testimony to the
great progress in the horticultural art which this exhibi-
tion indicated. The plants, though not quite so nume-
rous as on former occasions, very far surpassed, in point
of quality, anything we had ever before seen exhibited at
the Liverpool shows. We may mention particularly those
of E. Moon, Esq., I. Hadwen, Esq., H. Winch, EN.,
C. Wilson, Esq., H. Sharpies, Esq., T. Morris, Esq.,
and the Messrs. Davies, nurserymen.

The success which has attended the formation of a
National Floricultural Society, for the purpose of deci.
ding the merits of the myriads of seedling florists' flowers
with which the public have hitherto been bewildered,
has been such as to warrant an inquiry as to bow far
associated societies may with advantage be e3tablished in
the provinces

In the Midland Counties this question is
already on the Lapis, and we hear that the Manchester
florists are also moving in the matter. Should this prove
true, the Liverpool florists ought to be interested in the
formation of a Lancashire Society ; one for each county
being all that is thought of at present, and certainly more
would be inconvenient. Whether these Provincial Soci-
eties. if established, will be of any real service to the

of floriculture, is exceedingly problematical
