LIVERPOOL HORTICULTURAL
SOCIETY.

ITHE first exhibition of this society for the present season
took place on Thursday last. Altogether the day was..
tolerably fine, and the attendance was more numerous
than on any previous occasion ; so much so, indeed, as to.
lead to serious inconvenience, many persons having been.
totally unable to gain entrance. More than five thousand
persons are supposed to have passed through the tent
during the afternoon.
The show itself was very good, but did not exhibit any:
marked improvement over those of previous years, and
the novelties were-fewer than usual. The Azaleas of Mr.
Henry Sharpies, and the Orchids of Messrs. A. Fairrie
and N. Hadwen, were the chief attractions.
