much more compact habit than L. flavum. The Perpetual Clove Mies Jolifife, 

 noticed last month, received a first-class award on this occasion. A very fine 

 white Pink from ]\Ir C. Turner, Slough, received a second-class award. Mr W. 

 Paul, of Waltham Cross, exhibited a set of Zonale Pelargoniums, raised by Dr 

 Denny ; these are certainly decided acquisitions; there are new colours amongst 

 them ; others are remarkable for perfect-shaped flowers and trusses. First-class 

 certificates were awarded to Wellington, a Hybrid nosegay with immense trusses 

 of well-shaped, rich, dark-ci'imson flowers. Sir C. Napier — the flowers of this 

 are of the largest size, and of a brilliant dark scarlet colour ; and lanthe — this has a 

 good bedding habit, and the flowers, which are of good shape, have a slight shade 

 of blue in their composition. Mr W. Paul also receit^ed a second-class award for 

 Silver Tricolor Pelargonium Lady Dorothy Nevill. Mr George, gardener to 

 Miss Nicholson, Putney Heath, also sent Zonale Pelargoniums. A very fine 

 scarlet nosegay named Flame obtained a first-class, and Polly King, a very good 

 salmon-coloured variety, a second-class certificate. Mr Foster again showed a 

 collection of stage Pelargoniums. First-class certificates were given to Conquest, 

 Lord Byron, Blue Bell, Casar, and Achievement ; the last a very fine flower of 

 a deep rose ou the upper, and light rose lower petals. Mr Bull had a first-class 

 award for Oncidium cryptocopis ; the flowers are brown, with a very narrow yellow 

 margin, and are thiuly placed on a very long straggling spike. Mr Croucher, 

 gardener to J. T. Peacock, Esq., Hammersmith, was also voted a first-class certi- 

 ficate for Agave revoluta variegata. Second-class certificates were given to 

 Messrs Carter for Solanum ciliatum ; and to Mr Thomson, of Ipswich, for Lathy-

Glasgow and "West of Scotland Horticultural Society. — This flourish- 

 ing society held its second show for the season in the Glasgow City Hall, on 

 Wednesday, 7th June. The plants brought forward on this occasion were, 

 taken as a whole, very meritorious examples of cultivation, especially the 

 stove and greenhouse plants. Ferns and Orchids. Vegetables were very good, 

 considering the late and dry character of the season. We are surprised that the 

 west of Scotland growers do not distinguish themselves more in the way of forced 

 fruits, which on this occasion were almost nil. 



The following are the awards of the judges, who were — On plants, Mr D. 

 Mitchell, nurseryman, Edinburgh; Mr Andrew Turnbull, Bothwell Castle, Both- 

 well ; Mr James Ollerhead, The Gardens, Killermont. Cut flowers and bouquets 

 — Mr John Baillie, High Cross, Couperhead ; Mr John Waterston, 23 Caulside,
