]80 THE FLORIST. 



sent six clean and nicely bloomed plants of the following kinds : — 

 Delicatum, large and well bloomed; Fairy Queen, Erubescens, 

 Mirandum, Formosissimum, and Princess Alice JMaude. Mr. Windsor 

 had six very large well grown plants, but of inferior varieties, and 

 not in good bloom. Ihey were Magnificum, Caliban, Madame 

 Miellez, Duchesne d'Aumale, Fairy Queen, and Statiaski. A third 

 collection came from Mr. Barter, gardener to A. Bassett, Esq., of 

 Stamford Hill, but both plants and varieties were much below 

 mediocrity. In the Nurserymen's Class, Mr. C. Turner contributed 

 six finely bloomed specimens, consisting of Madame Son tag, a noble 

 plant of one of the best kinds, being bright rose, with clear white 

 centre ; Cassandra, violet crimson ; Criterion, crimson ; Gaiety, white 

 and maroon ; Delicatum, light ; and Electra, bright rosy crimson. 

 Messrs. Fraser, of Lea Bridge Koad, had six small but nicely bloomed 

 plants of the following sorts : — Jenny Lind, Formosissimum, Richard 

 Cobden, Jehu Improved, Exquisite, and Nepaulese Prince. Mr. Gaines 

 had six large well-shaped plants, but they were not in good bloom. 

 They were Advancer, Delicatum, Vandyke, Princess Galitziri, Princess 

 Alice Maude, and Signora Castiglioni. A magnificent plant of 

 Rosamond was shown by Mr. Turner as a single specimen. It was in 

 an 8-inch pot, and loaded with flowers. 



Mr. Kinghorn furnished two promising Variegated Geraniums ; 

 these appeared to be good growers, possessed scarlet flowers, and will 

 form good additions to this intereresting class of plants. 



Cinerarias were exhibited by Mr. C. Turner, Mr. Beck, and Mr. 

 Dobson. The two first collections consisted of extremely well-grown 

 plants. Mr. Turner had Magnum Bonum, rich crimson, with white 

 ring round the disc, a very large variety ; Lady Paxton, white tipped 

 with rosy lilac, large, wdth small black disc ; Optima, white tipped 

 with blue, a finely formed flower ; Mrs. Sidney Herbert, white and 

 rose ; Picturata, white and crimson purple, very attractive, and fine in 

 form ; and Teddington, rosy lilac. Mr. Beck produced Lady Camoys, 

 Amy Robsart, Eugenie, Agnes Wakefield, and Exquisite. 



Pansies in pots were shown in very good condition, and were, as they 

 deserved to be, much admired. The blooms on Mr. Turner's collection 

 were particularly large and good in colour. The sorts were Sovereign, 

 yellow ; Emperor, yellow ground ; Royal Albert, dark self; Ophir, 

 yellow ; Earl Mansfield, white ground ; BriUiant, yellow ground ; 

 Royal Visit, white ground ; Sir J. Paxton, straw ground ; Flower of 

 the Day, dark; Satisfaction, yellow ground; British Queen, straw 

 ground ; Lord J. Russell, yellow ground. The varieties in Mr. Dobson 's 

 coUection, dissimilar to the above, were Fanny Kemble, Lady Carring- 

 ton, Robert Bruce, Aurora, Lady Emily, Marchioness of Bath, Great 

 Western, Marion, and Rising Sun. 



Of Calceolarias there was one collection, which was exhibited by Mr, 

 Bray, gardener to Baron Goldsmid, of Regent's Park. They vrere well 

 bloomed, but the varieties appeared to be no improvements on kinds 

 we have seen for these last six years. 



Auriculas were produced by Mr. Willmer, of Sunbury, and Mr. C. 

 Turner. Among these there appeared to be a deficiency of good selfs and
