Begonias. 



XIOVKK before lias such a group of uiagnilicent 

 tuberous-rooted Regonias been seen at a flower 

 sliow as that which won the Coronation Cup for 

 Messrs. Rlackmore A: l>angdoi>. of Rath. On 

 fornu'r occasions they have exhilnted varieties 

 which have merited very high praLse, Init this 

 year they have excelled their own high standard. 

 These si)lendid examjiles of the higliest cultural 

 skill were arranged in a most elTective manner. 

 The scheme was a large undulating bed with two 

 snuiU circles, in front of Delphiniums. One 

 circle contained a bright criuison variety, 

 Duchess of Cornwall, whilst the other was lilled 

 with the rich yellow Mrs. \V. Ainslie. Of the 

 many other varieties thj names of Lady Tweed - 

 mouth and Mrs. Cuthbertscm (soft pink), Mrs. 

 R. Caulfeild (dee]t i)ink), Irene Tambling (rich 

 orange) and Royal George (crimson) may be 

 given as representative of the exhibit, which 

 was characterised by rich, healthy foliage and 

 flowers of immense size, yet without the least 

 suggestion of coai-seness. The colours were 

 exceedingly fresh and beautiful. A few hanging 

 baskets of such ])endulous varieties as Golden 

 Shower, Lena, and Fleur de Chrysantheme gave 

 an artistic finish to the exhibit (Gold Medal). —
