 Bath, with Earl of Derby, Bass Rock, Richard Cobden, Sir C. Napier, 

 Novelty, and Napoleon. These were compact in growth and well 

 diversified in colour, a point which did not belong to Mr. Constantino's 

 group, which was therefore placed second, although his plants were better 

 grown than those from Bath. ]\Ir. Clarke was Srd ; JNIr. Gaines 

 also staged six plants. Mr. Price, gardener to L. Lloyd, Esq., of 

 Hampstead, sent a seedling suitable for bedding purposes, for which a 

 certificate was awarded. It is of a rich bright colour, and will doubt- 

 less prove an acquisition.
