TUE GREAT HoRuCULTURAI ExHBTToE.-
This splendid exhibition of fruits, flowers, and
shrubbery, which has delighted our citizens for
the past two days, closes this evening. The only
fault that could possibly be found with it ls that
II does not last long enough. We know of
nothing that could more please the cultivated
eye and improve the taste than a visit to the
magnificent display that has been delghting the
thousands of visitors to this beautiful exhibition
Tor the past two days and evenings. There are
to be seen the rarest and finest specimens of
eeXoiics and plants that very seldom are seen in
these climes-plants that populate the solitary
iungles OF Borneo and The harder ferns and
moses from the far north.
Thousands OF Orchils, those weird, graceful
a'r-plHnis, which, hanging by their long, grace
ful stems, seem, rs they swing to and fro, TO be
enooNed with animal lite. The fruits, that are
and have been on exhibition, beggar descrip-
1ou. Grapes, whose size and beauty, aud the
size OF the bUnches, might well be termed mar
velOus. Pears, whose rich yellow and family
tinted shades of uch crimson seem bursting
with the rlcn buuery pulp Within, some of them
OF an enormous SIZE and all kinds OF fruit some
that would challenge admiration anywhere
throughout the world are scattered around in
prOusIOn. 1t would be hopeless task indeed
TO attempt to describe the bounteous gifts of
nature thet are scattered around here IN such
protuSon; the fruits flowers, vegetables, and
the shrubbeIy being all unsurpassed.
