the length of each branch, when they make very interesting objects . 

 Mr. James's plants of the large-flowering kinds deserved especia 

 mention. The following were the awards of the judges :

 Pompons was exhibited by Mr. E. Spary, Brighton, trained to trel- 

 lises, after the manner of trained Verbenas, lying flat upon the pot, 

 producing a very pleasing and novel effect. These were also well- 

 bloomed ; and great credit is due to Mr. Spary for producing plants 

 in such condition so far from where they were grown ; but we give 

 the preference to the natural style, as exemplified in Mr. Robinson's 

 and Mr. James's plants. 24 Cut Blooms: 1st, Mr. Wortley, Queen
