140 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



selection was judicious. The sorts were, Sylph. Sultan, Vulcan, Gipsy, Erectum, 

 Nymph, Matilda, Hebe, Rieuzi, James, Vivid, and Deborah. Prize, large 

 Silver Medal. 



Mr. Bromley, gardener to Miss Anderson, of Fairlee Park, near Reading, 2ud 

 Twelve. Lady Denbigh, Diademetum rubescens, Climax, Discount, Louis 

 Quartorze, Garth's Perfection, Jewess, Dennis's Perfection, Vandyke, Victory, 

 Lady Murray, and Miss Anderson. The selection of kinds was not on an 

 equality; some of them of first-rate excellence, and a few of mediocrity. The 

 plants were in fine bloom, and well grown, but the distance brought had affected 

 them a little in appearance. 



Mr. Cattctigh, Nurseryman's Class, 1st Six. The sorts were — Jewess, Climax, 

 Coronation, Garth's Victory, Eliza superba, and a magnificent specimen of Dis- 

 count. The prize was large Silver Gilt Medal. 



Mr. Gaines, 2nd Six. Climax, Lady Bulteel, Grand Duke, Louis Quatorze, 

 Emperor, and Eliza superba. 



Mr. Cock, as usual, exhibited a single specimen of extraordinary growth, 

 placing it as heretofore at the entrance to the tent. The kind thus shown was 

 Florence. It attracted much attention, being densely covered with fine bloom. 

 Mr. Gaines's Emperor was very conspicuous ; its brilliancy of colour producing 

 a striking appearance, rendering it very attractive. Mr. Catleugh had Sylph in 

 far better condition than we ever previously saw it ; it was in profuse bloom, 

 and better expanded than usual. 



A seedling plant raised by Rev. R. Garth, and named Symmetry, wis ex- 

 hibited and universally admired. The upper petal of the flower is of a deep 

 rich maroon crimson, shading off' to the side, and there terminating in a broad 

 edging of pink. The lower petals are nearly white at the centre, and the other 

 portion of a beautiful delicate pink. Prize, Certificate of Merit. 



A seedling of Mr. Gaines's, named Amulet, was exhibited, and greatly ad- 

 mired. The upper petals have a large dark rich blotch, finishing to the side 

 with a broad band of a fine rose colour. The lower petals beautiful rose. Prize, 

 Certificate of Merit. 



There were other seedlings exhibited, but some having been brought a con- 

 siderable distance, had got damaged, so that they appeared to disadvantage. 

 Mr. Poutey's Duke of Cornwall is a very attractive flower, being peculiarly 

 brilliant in colour. Mr. Gaines's Orange Perfection is of a beautiful chaste 

 colour, and no doubt will be much sought after when seen in his numerous col- 

 lection at Battersea; its distinctness in colour is very conspicuous. Mr. Rendle 

 had some fine kinds, also Mr. Beck, of Islewjrth.
