 siderable figure, was from Mr. Redding, gardener to Mrs. Marryatt. Some 

 SjvK exhibiting every variety of scarlet, pink, and Mac tints, and 

 crea afvers ' n the shape of the 'flower-heads, were from a person whose name 

 we tu d not ascertani. Mr. Green's seedling Calceo arias were bean if, al The 

 Cockscombs from Mr.Whilding, of Harrow, were dwari ; while those ot Mr.

 fro, amateurs contained plants of vigorous growth, but exhibiting a great defi- 

 cecv of dowers. Mr. Games received the first prize in the nurserymen s class
