experimental trial. I liave also sent^ as a curiosity, an albino in 

 Hossom, the only bloom I have ever ^een from an albino plant or 

 shoot, although I have raised several hundreds of them from seed. 

 This was not an albino from birth, but has run since. I can never 

 get pure albinoea to live beyond the seed leaf." These, with the 

 two following exhibitions, arrived too late for entry. 



From Mr. W. Chater : — 



A coarse double flowez-ed Faclffuu

Prom Mr. "Wills, Oullon Park, Tarporley :— , 



Yei'hena Vtlfet Cushion, a very dwarf and close-growing sort, a seedling 

 from F. Lady Grey Eyerton "crossed with Y. yenosa, Mr. Wills speaks 

 of it as the commencement of a new race oJ Yerbenas, and reports 

 that it will prove a most useful plant for small beds. The foliage is 

 firm, and coarsely toothed, and the flowers, apparently abundant, come 

 in small trusses, and are of a bright rosy purple. The plant sent 

 was insufficient, and further knowledge of it is necessary. Should it 

 prove to be the forerunner of a race of compact-growing free-blooming 

 hardy sorts, it will on that ground alone be an acquisition. 

 Tropmolums: a collection of *' bedding " and of *' pillar" or "pyramid" 

 varieties, some in the way of elegans^ others larger, but tliey were 

 only cut blooms. Mr. Wills remarks : ^^ We have a great quantity 

 of them trained as pyramids in the flower-garden here this season, 

 and they have been the admiration of all who have seen them; It is 

 quite a new feature in flower-gardening."
