Mr. Turner, of the Royal Nursery, Slough, shewed a nice pan of 

 Pansies. We did not expect to see Pansies so large and in such 

 variety at this early period ; it confirms the opinion expressed in 

 The Florist that these flowers can be had in bloom from March till 

 November. 



The colours of some were particularly rich. The Duke of Nor- 

 folk, figured in this Number, was very conspicuous in this respect, 

 and was much larger than represented. The second variety in our 

 illustration was also very good, as were those marked thus *. 



It contained *Thomson's Constellation, Hooper's Mary Jane, *Nasmyth's 

 Mrs. M. Hamilton, Hooper's Brutus, *Bell's Lord John Russell and *Duke of 

 Norfolk, *Turner's Charmer and Commodore, Bell's Climax, *Turner's Miss 

 Edwards, Bell's Aurora, *Youell'a Supreme, Turner's Surplice and *Mrs. Beck, 

 Oswold's Undine, Hooper's Attila, *Thomson's Duchess of Rutland, Hooper's 

 Wonderful, *Turner's Caroline, Bell's Duchess of Norfolk, Backhouse's Dr. 

 Wolff, Collison's Perseus, Hooper's Milo, and Turner's Optimus. 



Some very good Cinerarias have been exhibited from time to time 

 at these meetings. Some were varieties sent out last autumn, others 

 were seedlings promising to prove valuable additions to those already 

 in general cultivation ; of the former we have noticed : — Henderson's 

 Climax, rosy-crimson edge, with white centre ; good petals, a little 

 cupped. Henderson's Cerito, Lavender edge, with white centre ; a 

 fine flower of good form. Henderson's Eleanor, white, with rosy 

 edge ; large, well-formed flower. 



Seedlings of promise. — Kendall's Sanspareil, white, with blue tip, 

 was not sufficiently in bloom to judge of its merits : hope to see this 

 flower again, for it is very promising. Henderson's Fairy Queen, 

 white, with puce edge ; large flower, and a desirable variety. Hen- 

 derson's Delicata, a very pretty free-blooming variety ; white centre, 

 with lilac-purple edge. Henderson's Margaretta, fine blue. 



April llth. — E. Brande, Esq. in the chair. Mr. Myatt, of Dept- 

 ford, exhibited a remarkably large and finely flowered Cyclamen. 

 It could not measure less than 18 inches across, and was quite a 

 mass of sweet-scented blossoms. These were the production of a 

 single bulb, and shewed what could be effected, by time and good 

 management, with a plant within the reach of every body, and than 

 which few are handsomer. 



Mr. Henderson, of the Wellington Road Nursery, sent twelve 

 Cinerarias, the best of which were Mdlle. llosati, white, with a dark 

 disc, and edged with bluish lilac, a fine flower, but rather small ; 

 Mdlle. Perodi, white, edged with pink, dark centre ; Flora M'lvor, 

 intense crimson purple ; Nymph, white, with a purple centre; Fanny 

 ElUler, white ; and Btcsy, a deep velvttty purple. — Eleven seedling
