& Son, Exeter and Ciielsea. An interesting dwarf bushy, 

 habited free-blooming shrub, introduced from Japan, through 

 Mr. T, LoBB. The leaves were narrow, lance-shaped, almost 

 willow-like in character, somewhat sinuous or uneven at the 

 margin, and irregularly edged with white. The flowers were 

 white, and like those of the allied forms, deliciously fragrant. 

 The green-leaved form of the species was, however, considered the 

 more effective as a flowering plant, on account of the greater 

 contrast between its darker foliage and the white blossoms ; but 

 this new striped-leaved variety will prove interesting to those 

 who collect variegated plants. 



Caladium sp. :— from Messrs Parkee & Williams, HoUoway. 

 This was the same kind as had been exhibited by Mr. R. 

 Warner on a previous occasion (p. 206), and had been received 

 amongst Indian Orchids. It was not fully developed. 



Mr. R. BuLLEN, gardener to Dr. Butler, Woolwich, exhibited 

 a well-grown plant of the rare Phalanopsis rosea, and also the 

 very singular Brasavola Dighyana, both nicely bloomed. 



Of Florists' flowers there were many beautiful novelties pro- 

 Pelargonium Perdita {Foster) :— from Mr. Toener, Slough. 

 This was a compact, free-blooming variety, of vigorous habit, with 

 large blossoms of excellent form, the upper petals deep maroon, 

 with very narrow even border of rose ; the lower ones rose 

 suffused and marbled with crimson, and having a small maroon 

 spot; the centre white. It was a beautiful variety, and was 

 awarded a First-Class Certificate. 



Fancy Pelargonium Arabella Goddard : — from Mr. Turner, 

 This is one of the best varieties of this class yet produced, 

 being of free habit, and a most profuse bloomer ; the flowers 

 were remarkably well-formed, smooth, and finely coloured, of a 

 rich bright lake 



fine variety was awarded a First-'Class Certificate. The 

 fTowers were of full size, and of fine substance, the white pure, 

 and the petals even, blotched and heavily laced with deep rose- 

 purple. 



Azalea Magnet -.—from Mr. W. Barnes, Camberwell. This 

 was a dwarf and free-blooming large-flowered variety, of good 

 form and substance, and of a deep rosy salmon pink, marked on 

 the upper segment with rose-purple spots. Mr. Barxes
