314 THE FLORIST. 



that they form a long list, for which, we regret to say, it is wholly impossible 

 for us to find room. The competition for them, in all departments, 

 was maintained with spirit, and, as far as we can learn, the decisions 

 of the judges appointed to act on the occasion have given general 

 satisfaction. 



Cut flowers, as is usual at autumnal exhibitions, formed one of 

 the great features of the show. They were very numerous, and 

 in some instances extremely good. The show was too late for Hollyhocks, 

 but this was fully compensated for by the magnificent display of 

 Dahlias. There were nine entries for 50 varieties, and 28 entries of 

 24 blooms each, besides a corresponding number for fancy kinds and 

 seedlings. No seedling varieties were specially selected for prizes, but 

 first prizes for collections of seedlings were awarded to Mr. Turner, of 

 Slough, and Mr. Keynes, of Salisbury ; the best of which were Royal 

 Scarlet (Keynes), Lady Popham (Turner), Touchstone (Fellowes), 

 Cherub (Holmes), Conqueror (Keynes), Marion (Fellowes), Lady 

 Paxton (Dodds), King of Fancies (Legge), Lord Cardigan (Keynes), 

 Saturn (Turner), Mrs. Legge (Legge), Delta (Turner), Charles Perry 

 (Keynes), Edward (Dodds), John Stainton (Smith), and Lady Franklin
