C92 EKI'ORTS OF THE FLOEAL COMMITTEE, SEPT. 23. 



From Mr. B. W. Knight, Battle : 



Ve^'leyias , a collection of seedlings, among -which one called Titian, -with 

 mulberry flowers, was said to have the habit of Purple King. The 

 remainder did not present any peculiar merit. 



Tropceolums : Tom Thumi Gem, a smooth deep orange yellow; Prince 

 of Wales, deep yellow with dark crimson spots ; Princess Alexandra^ 

 Btraw yellow with crimson spots. The two last were said to have 

 the habit of Triomphe de Hyris, and the first that of Tom Thumb, 

 but no opinion as to their merits could be formed from the cut 

 blooms. 



From Mr. "VVjemyss^ Springwood Park, Kelso : 



Pentstemon Beauty, deep crimson-red, with short broad tube and white 

 throat. For many years, Mr. Wemyss had been trying to dwarf the 

 Pentstemon so as to fit it for bedding, and last year he had succeeded 

 in raising the present variety, the merit of which was stated to be 

 its dwarfness— one foot high, and free flowering habit. It was 

 thought a promising sort, but cut specimens only were sent. 



From Mr. "W. Foster^ Stroud : 



Tro2>rrolum, unnamed; cut blooms of a deep crimson-scarlet of the 

 Lobbiauum section, but not sufficient for judgment.
