BEBTNGTON AND ROCK FERRY FLORAL AND
HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The exhibition of flowers and fruit by this society was
held as usual, in the beautiful grounds of the Royal Rock
Ferry Hotel, on Thursday last. Unfortunately the day,
though dry, was gloomy and threatening, which prevented
so great an attendance as upon finer occasions ; but the
collection of plants exhibited, though not large, was of
finer cpality than usual, and some specimens were of
remarkable superiority. A Cattleya Mossim, from Thos.
Johnson, Esq. of Runcorn, surpassed anything of the
kind ever exhibited, probably in the kingdom • it measured
2 feet 3 inches diameter, and had 45 of its noble flowers
fully expanded. It is much to be regretted that this
society is not better supported •, before fhe financial crises
at Birkenhead and Liverpool, there were noble families of
taste and spirit, who made this flower show one of the
most pleasing meetings of the season ; they have passed
away ; but their places are not vacant, neither is there
any lack of wealth ; and we hope also that the other essen-
tials exist, but lie dormant for want of knowing the his-
tory and standing of the society, which has always been
of a superior cast. We give the list of prizes anarded
