WOOLTON FLORAL, HORTICULTURAL, AND

AGRICULTURAL MEETING.

The last Woolton Meeting of the Season, for the Show
of Dahlias, Plants, Fruits, &c., took place on Thursday
last. The marquee was very gaily adorned with flags,
evergreens, decorative plants, and devices. The day was
fine and the company numerous and select, comprising
many of the most distinguished individuals and families of
the locality. Of the show we may say that it equalled, and
in some departments surpassed any former exhibition there,
thus proving the beneficial effect of the Society in exciting
honourable and useful competition, not only amongst the
wealthier cultivators of the soil, but, we are glad to add,
amongst the humbler farmers and the cottagers of the
neighbourhood. Amongst the rarer exotics, were two fine
specimens sent by R. Alison, Esq., of the .lEschynanthus
Gondiflora,—one trained in a flat form, and another, more
interesting to our taste, growing pendant from a pot. The
Pelargoniums were very fine for the advanced period of the
season; but the Dahlias neither quite so fine on the whole,
nor so numerous as at the last autumnal show. Several
well grown perfect blooms were, howeaer, contributed by
R. W. Preston, and T. Rawson, Esqrs. The Roses were es-
pecially worthy of notice; some years ago we could not have
seen a collection of this Queen of British Flowers of such
varied hues, beauty, and variety. There were some splen-
did Cape Heaths, particularly those flowering in concentra-
ted bunches. The fruits brought up were excellent. A
splendid dish of black grapes was shown, from the gardens
of Ambrose Lace, Esq. The peaches were very large and
tempting, perticularly those sent by Mr. Blunt of the head
inn, who was also successful in other specimens of garden
production, including splendid red cabbage. The apples
were abundant, and nearly all of very fine kinds. We she uld
say, judging from the several recent shows we have visited,
that the general crop this year will be above the usual aver-
age, in quantity as well as quality. The vegetables were
also abundant and, excellent, as were the field productions,
especially the Mantel Wortzel, many roots of which were
of great s'ze. There was an interesting collection of simple
British plants, contributed by a boy named Samuel Hitch-
trough, of Hale, which did him great credit. Amongst
them was a specimen of the carrot in its original unim-
proved state, and the comparison I. etween it and the fine
specimens of the same species, after years of culture, ex-
hibited in a remarkable degree the effects of bortict 't iral
skill. We noticed some fine well arranged baskets and
boxes of plants, and cut flowers; and amongst the devices
a crown, wrought like rug work, in dahlias, &c., with the
motto over it of " Long live the Queen!—also a splendid
crown jewelled with brilliant flowers. The Woolton Band
a as in attendance, and played a variety of airs and pieces,
evincing great improvement since they first appeared.—
The tent was very spacious, and the whole of the arrange-
\ments of the committee all that could be wished.
Though the season was so late there were fine dishes of
cherries and strawberries. The receipts.at the door were

nearly three times as much as on any previous occasion;

and a,
lthough the tent was nearly double in size to that at
the last two meetings, it is expected that in future it must
be further enlarged.
In the following list of the principal prizes, we have (to
save room) put "Ist" and " 2nd," and to signify "best"
and "second best," &c.
