132 THE FLORIST. 



enumerated extends to 114 varieties, it will be seen that in giving those 

 with the greatest number of votes the main point will have been 

 accomplished. 



It would not be without interest if some one of our statistical friends 

 were to test these returns by the winning flowers at the close of the 

 coming season, and to report the issue to gro'.vers at large. 



The returns are by iVTr. T. Barnes, dealer, Stowmarket, Suffolk ; 

 Mr. Cook, Netting Hill, private ; Messrs. Downie & Laird, Edinburgh, 

 dealers ; the Rev. C. Fellowes, Norwich, private ; G. Holmes, Esq., 

 Norwich, private ; Mr. Jarvis, Camberwell, private ; Mr. Keynes, 

 Salisbury, dealer ; Mr. Legge, Edmonton, dealer ; Mr. Oswald, 

 Edinburgh, private ; Mr. Pope, Pimlico, private ; Mr. Perry, 

 near Birmingham, private ; Mr. Robinson, Pimlico, private ; IMessrs. 

 Robertson, Paul, & Co., Paisley, dealers ; Mr. Schofield, Leeds, 

 dealer ; Mr. Smith, Hereford, dealer ; Messrs. Soden & Son, Wood- 

 stock, dealers ; J. Sladden, Esq., Sandwich, private ; C. K. Sive- 

 wright, Esq., Edinburgh, private ; Mr. Turner, Slough, dealer ; and 

 Mr. Walker, Thame, dealer. By a coincidence worthy of comment, 

 the dealers and private growers are on a par — ten of each.
