320 ORDINARY GENERAL MEETINGS, 



Boses: — from Mi% W. Paul, Waltham Cross. This was a 



collection of cut blooms, consisting chiefly of new French sorts, 

 first sent out in the autumn of last year, and but little known. 

 The most prominent of them, however, were those of Beauty of 

 Waltham, a seedling raised by Mr. W. Paul, and not yet 

 distributed, and of this, some exquisite, and magnificent blooms 

 were produced, proving it to be one of the very finest among the 

 crimsons. It had already received a first-class certificate at 

 the hands of the Committee, when shown last summei'. The 

 other sorts were : — Adolphe Noblet, Alexandre Dumas, Charles 

 Lefcbre, Eugene BonrcieTy Madame Charles Wood, Mademoiselle 

 Henriette Duhis, Monte Christo, Paul Feval, Souvenir de M. 

 JRosseau, and Vidcain, all distributed last autumn by the French 

 growers, and mostly having deep red or crimson fliowers ; they 

 were generally promising in quality, but being grown under glass, 

 and so recently imported, were not in a condition to, show the 

 relative merits of the several varieties in our climate.
