 Certificates : 1. To Mr. Kennington, gardener to F. Ci. Cox,

 Mr. Dawson, of Brixton Hill, for a beautiful specimen of 

 Erica Hartnelli. 3. To the Very Rev. the Dean of Man- 

 chester, for a white Camellia, named Candor, concerning 

 which Mr. Herbert says "It is the most perfect, I believe, 

 raised in Europe ; its leaves are very like the Buff Camellia, 

 and flowers usually larger than that sent, which is the first 

 of the season, for it has the peculiarity of pusliing its leaves 

 before, or as it flowers, which makes the flower face out- 

 wards." 



Novelties from the Society's Garden. Berberis pallida, 

 sent from Mexico by Mr. Hartweg; it is not hardy, and 

 requires to be kept in a greenhouse. Clerodendrum hasta- 

 tum, having large halbert-shaped leaves, the undersides of 

 which are of a fine purplish brown ; and Spiraea Reevesiana, 

 a handsome hardy shrub, introduced from China, having 

 pretty white blossoms ; it grows freely in the open air, and 

 forms a good addition to the arboretum.
