Banksian Medal: — 



To Mr. Spivey, Gardener to J. A. Houblon, F.H.S., Esq. of Hal- 

 lingbury, for a second collection of Vegetables, consisting of 

 new Potatoes, young Carrots, Broccoli; Cabbages, Spinach; 

 Leeks, Asparagus, Seakale considerably past its best, Myatt's 

 Victoria Rhubarb, and Mushrooms. It will be seen that fifty- 

 six varieties came from Chevening, and only ten from Halling- 

 bury ; but if the prizes had been offered for anything except 

 collections the case would have been reversed, for upon the 

 whole Mr. Spivey 's were best grown ; in particular, his 

 Leeks and Broccoli and young Potatoes were very good ; 

 but he had no Lettuces ; his Asparagus was inferior, and 

 even his Broccoli, though fine, was not first-rate. 

 To Mr. Lewis Solomon, of Covent Garden, for foreign produce 

 in the shape of a salad consisting of very good Curled 

 Endive, Paris Cos Lettuces as large and fine as they could 

 possibly be produced about London at any season, and red 

 Turnip Radishes. 



To Messrs. Lucombe, Pince, & Co., for Andromeda formosa, 

 a charming new white-blossomed evergreen shrub, from 

 Nepal, which has been found to be hardy at Exeter. 



Certificate of Merit : — 



To Mr. Glendinning, F.H.S., Chiswick Nursery, Turnham 

 Green, for a New Holland plant called Dianella ccerulea,
