Florist And Garden Miscellany

Excerpt from The Florist, Fruitist and Garden Miscellany, 1858, Vol. 11 We must next mention the British Pomological and National Flori cultural Societies, two very useful institutions of somewhat recent origin, but both of increasing popularity with their respective supporters. Reports of the meetings of these societies appear in our pages as they are held. Their practical utility is shown by the faith placed by the' public in their awards, which present a guarantee of the comparative value of the different subjects submitted to their decision - the only true guide for purchasers to select by. The success of these institutions (which have arisen solely to supply the wants of a large class interested in improving the races of fruits and flowers, and determining their properties), affords gratifying proofs of the increased favour in which these branches of horticulture are held by the public.
