REPORT OF THE FLORAL COMMITTEE, 



Mr. Eyles lias, in accordance with tlie wish of the Committee, 

 made these plants the subject of his especial attention, and it is 

 hoped that they may be in fine condition for comparison and 

 adjudication early in the ensuing summer. In the meantime 

 the report on these varieties embodies such information con- 

 cerning them, as could be ascertained from their progress during 



the past season. 



Of Fuchsias, which formed one of the series of subjects pro- 

 posed for trial last year, a considerable collection has been formed, 

 but their respective merits are not yet determined. 



Since the 1st of May, 1861, at \vhich date a list of the awards 

 made during the year previous was laid before the Council, 

 56 First-Class Certificates, and 57 Commendations, have been 

 granted by the Committee to novelties exhibited at its ordinary 

 meetings. Of these awards the following is an alphabetical list, 

 showing the name of the successful exhibitor, and the date when
