 Mr. Maher, gardener to J. M. Strachan, Esq., Twickenham, 1/. Mr. 

 Turner's plants were the admiration of all, seeming almost impossible 

 to surpass them in excellence. The varieties were Carlos, a fine kind ; 

 Governor-General, a brilhant variety for exhibition ; Una, a fine free- 

 flowering white ; Achilles, Exactum, Mochanna, Rosamond — this, per- 

 haps, was the finest specimen ever grown in an 8-inch pot ; Esther, 

 Majestic, Sanspareil, Astrea, and Zeno. IMessrs. Dobson & Son were a 

 good second, with Ambassador, Purpureum, Empress, Exhibitor, Deli- 

 catum. Magnet, Gulielma, Prince Arthur, Painter improved, Rosamond, 

 Enchantress, and Vulcan. 



Class XXV. Six Pelargoniums, distinct varieties f Amateurs). — 

 1st, Mr. Nye, gardener to E. Foster, Esq., Clewer, 6/. ; 2d, Mr. 

 Windsor, gardener to A. Blyth, Esq., Hampstead, 4/. ; 3d, Mr. Hoyle, 

 Sidney Villa, Reading, 3/. Extra Prizes : Mr. Holder, gardener to 

 Rev. E. Coleridge, 21. ; ]\Ir. Mockett, gardener to J. Allnutt, Esq., 

 Clapham, 1/. Mr. Barter, gardener to A. Bassett, Esq. ; Mr. Weir, 

 gardener to J. Hodgson, Esq., Hampstead ; and Mr. Wiggins, gardener 

 to E. Beck, Esq., also exhibited in this class. Mr. Nye was deservedly 

 first with Purple Perfection, Enchantress, Rosa (Foster's), Queen of 

 May, Pandora, and Lucy, all well grown plants, with flowers of fine 

 quahty. We thought Mr. Hoyle should have been second, as he had 

 Wonderful (figured in the Florist in September last). Magnet, Carlos, 

 Portia, Serena, and Sanspareil. Mr. Hoyle's plants were good and well 

 flowered, and, as will be seen. Wonderful and Serena, two of the finest 

 new flowers, were in no other collection. In our opinion, quality, in 

 sorts, combined with good culture, should take precedence, and that 

 especial attention should be paid to this point.

 1st, Mr. C. Turner, Slough, 12/. ; 2nd, Mr. Gaines, Battersea, 8/. ; 

 3rd, Messrs. Eraser, Lea Bridge Road, 6/. Mr. A. Young, gardener to 

 J. Edwards, Esq., also exhibited in this class. Mr. Turner had a 

 monster plant of Perfection, Madame Sontag almost as large, Caliban, 

 Erubescens (a bright and useful variety), Delicatum, Formosissimum, 

 Gaiety, Celestial, Jenny Lind, Cassandra, Richard Cobden, and Electra, 

 all extremely fine plants, loaded with flower.
