208 THE FLORIST. 



Drummondi ; bright pale rose, with a white feathered eye ; cut blooms. 

 Calceolarias. — From Mr. Oddy, of Epping, came — Count Cavour. A 

 shrubby variety, apparently well suited for bedding ; tlie flowers oval 

 in outline, the upper lip large and closing the mouth, the colour clear 

 bright yellow ; cut blooms. Messrs. A. Henderson & Co., of Edgeware 

 Road, exhibited — Brilliant. Herbaceous ; flowers large, broader than 

 long, well inflated, rich bronze, unequally marbled with yellow. From 

 Mr. James, of Isleworth, were cut blooms of several bright- coloured 

 spotted herbaceous varieties. Verbena. — Mr. Fozard, of Paddington, 

 exhibited — Minnie. Rosy lilac, with dark red eye, and blotch of brighter 

 rose at base of each segment ; good truss ; flowers large, the segments 

 broad, rather wavy, but, except the lower one, without notches. 



Recjistered Pot. — Mr. Thorniley, of Heaton Mersey, near Manchester, 

 exhibited under this name a new garden pot, furnished with a shallow 

 ledge-like trough on the exterior half-way down, with holes pierced 

 through to the interior, the object being to more readily furnish 

 moisture to pot-bound plants. The contrivance is not likely to become 

 of general use.
