dianum, bicolor, roseum, and tricolor ; 2d, Mr. Watson, gardener to 

 Mrs. Tredwell, with elegans, bicolor, Blandfordianum, ardens, and 

 fulgidum. 



Cinerarias: 1st, Mr. Lochner, with Adela Villiers, Surprise, Effie 

 Deans, Climax, Amy Robsart, and Queen of Beauties ; 2d, Messrs. 

 Henderson and Sons, St. John's Wood, with Adela Villiers, Effie 

 Deans, Marianne, Cerito, Catherine Hayes, and Fairy Queen ; 3d, Mr. 

 Roser. 



In new plants, that which deservedly received the most attention 

 was the Hexacentris mysorensis, sent by Messrs. Veitch; it is a novel 

 and elegant stove climber, with red and yellow flowers, which hang 

 in clusters. The same firm also contributed Saxe-Gotha^a conspicua, 

 and Fitzroya patagonica, two new Conifers of great promise. Messrs. 

 Standish and Noble sent two new Azaleas, introduced by Mr. For- 

 tune, viz. A. vittata, a striped variety of indifferent form ; but it was 

 not seen under advantageous circumstances; and A. amoena, a small 

 reddish-purple flowered kind, said to be hardy. 



In the seedling tent we noticed Cineraria picturata, a showy 

 variety, white, with purple tips, and of passable shape ; Prince Arthur, 

 a good crimson ; and Mrs. Seagrave, white tipped with pale rose, of 

 good average form: these were sent by Messrs. E. G. Henderson. 

 Mr. Turner had three seedling Pansies in pots, Sir J. Cathcart, Na- 

 tional, and Sir J. Paxton, all good flowers, which are described in the 

 account of the Hammersmith Pansy show. Mr. Carmichael sent a 

 Calceolaria of very good form ; it was yellow spotted with brown. 

 A distinct-looking Rhododendron came from Messrs. Lane and Son. 

 Mr. Davis of Liverpool had a fine large seedling Azalea of good 

 form. We also remarked a good specimen of Cheetham's Auricula, 

 Lancashire Hero, with ten expanded pips ; it is decidedly the best 

 grey-edge : this plant was grown by Mr. Turner. 



There was some excellent fruit: 3 vines (Sweetwater), in pots, 

 were sent by Mr. Jackson, gardener to J. Beaufoy, Esq., of South 

 Lambeth, which contained the large number of 39 bunches on the 

 three plants ; good average size for pot-culture. 



Royal Bgianic Society, May 19. — Our remarks respecting the 

 Chiswick show are generally applicable to this meeting, the plants 

 in a great many instances being the same ; some were getting a little 

 past their best ; on the other hand, the Cape Heaths were in better 

 flower, and there was a larger number of Pelargoniums. To name 

 the stove and greenhouse plants would be to repeat what we have 

 already said above ; we will therefore confine our remarks to the 

 Florists' flowers. 



Pelargoniums were shewn in considerable number in the Nursery- 

 men's class ; the gold medal was awarded to Mr. Turner, Royal Nur- 

 sery, Slough, for Magnet, Mochanna, Prince of Orange, Ajax, Chief- 

 tain, Chloe, Magnificent, Pride of the Isles, Constance, Rosamund, 

 Little Nell, and Alonzo ; 2d, the large silver medal to Mr. Dobson, 

 Woodlands Nursery, Isleworth, for nice examples of Vanguard, 

 Rosamund, Cuyp, Mont Blanc, Arethusa, Loveliness, Harriett, Glow- 

 worm, Incomparable, Delicatissimum, Purpureum, and Exhibitor.
