ZoxALE Pelargoniums at Royal Botanic, July 8. — Mr. Ward, gardener to 

 F. J. Wilkins, Esq., Leyton, and Mr. Catlin, gardener to Mrs. Lermitte, Finchley, 

 ■were equal first in the class for six with very fine plants. Mr. Ward had Madame 

 Boucharlet, a fine salmon ; Sobieski, intense scarlet ; Louis Roeseler, in the way 

 of Herald of Spring, but apparently lighter in colour, one of the finest plants in 

 the tent ; Rose Rendatler, superb in every respect, and the finest zonale of the 

 day ; Monsieur Rendatler, a splendid salmon-coloured variety ; and the Clipper, a 

 fine scarlet. Mr. Catlin had Smith's Excellent, Tintoret, Madame Vaucher, Mon- 

 sieur Rendatler, Scarlet Globe, and Monsieur Martin. As our country readers 

 sometimes ask about tbe London style of growing these things, we took the trouble 

 to measure Mr. Catlin's plant of Excellent. It measured four feet over, in a regular 

 low convex outline, and had 66 trusses full open, not a withered flower was visible, 

 and every leaf in its place. Mr. Windsor, gardener to J. R. Ravensliill, Esq., 

 Waltharastow, put up a grand six, the names of which we missed. Mr. Winter, 

 gardener at the Elms, Golder's Green, Hendon, had a fine group in too flat a style 

 of training ; the varieties were Scarlet Globe, Gem of Roses, too shy for exhibition ; 

 Senator, Cerise Unique, a blaze of colour ; Madame Vaucher, Charles de Mas, a 

 green-leaved scarlet of good form and fine deep colour. 



Carnatioks, Pinks, and I^icotees at Royal Botanic— The names of the 

 best stands of these will no doubt be welcomed by many of our readers as aff'ording 

 the best suggestions for the foi mation and improvement of collections. Mr. Turner, 

 of Slough, put up the best collection of Carnations, comprising True Blue^ a new 

 variety, of medium size, marked with heavy flakes of bright purplish rose, beautiful 

 and novel. In the same stand Lord Clifton, Dr. Foster, Lorenzo, Fanny Gardener, 

 Prince Albert, Merrimac, Duchess of Kent, Annihilator, Ruth Hannah, Flora's 

 Garland, Young Milton, Earl Stamford, Justice Shallow, Lady of the Lake, John 

 Xeil, Brutus, John Reet, Cradley Pet. Mr. H. Hooper, of Widcome Hill, Bath, 

 had Venus, Benutiful, Stone's Venus, Mayor of Nottingham, Parker's Garland, 

 Prince of Wales, Jefferson Davis, Gem, Duke of Cambridge, Grand Master, Oriana, 

 Juno, Beauty of Woodhouse, Glory, Excellent, Diana, Neptune, Fanny Gardener, 

 Standard, Victor, Florence Nighiingale. — Mr. Turner, of Slough, and Mr. Hooper, 

 of Bath, exhibited Picotees. Mr. Turner showed Mrs. May, Miss Wood, Duke of 

 Devonshire, Miss Sewell, Mrs. Dixon, Prince Arthur, Miss Williams, Eliza, Fore-ter, 

 Robin Hood, Fillis, Amazon. Mr. Turner took first place with twenty-four Finks : 

 the varieties were Rt^v. G. Jeans, Annette, Attraction, John Ball, Celestial, Titu?, 

 Marian, Device, Exhibitor, Charles Turner, Invincible, Bertram, President, Goliath, 

 Alma, Delicata, Aurora, Purity, Blondin. Mr. Bragg, second, with Blondm, Purple 

 Prince, Nonpariel, Mr. Bragg, Dr. Maclean, Hector, Device, John Ball, Ernest, 

 Beauty, Attraction, Rifleman, Victory, Ct-le-tial, and ten seedlings. Besides thesp, 

 Mr. Bragg presented Nonpariel, broad laced purplish rose, scarcely rich enough Icr
