164 MISCELLANEOUS INTELLIGENCE. 



Ham|ton, for Attila. and Dr. Syntax. We believe that the professional florists 

 did not take their prizes, but added them to the funds of the Society, in order 

 to insure future success. 



Fei.ton Florist's Society. May 30. — The florists of Felton and its vicinity 

 held their annual show of Tulips in the dining-room of the Widdrington Arms

 appointed to take place at Mr<. Hine's, the Northumberland Arms Inn, on 

 Monday, the 27th of June, at 2 o'clock. 



LONDON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY'S SHOW. 



The second exhibition for the present season took place at the Chiswick Gar- 

 dens on Saturday June 11th, and in attendance far exceeded any former one ; 

 the persons admitted by tickets were 13.582. One hundred and twenty medals 

 were distributed to successful exhibitors, which will give some idea the e\tent 

 of specimens and collections must be great in floral subjects, Roses excepted ; it 

 far exceeded any former June meeting, and the specimens were in the highest 

 state of perfection and beauty, and we feel assured the sight would far moie 

 than compensate for a walk, even from the most distant part of Britain. 



Among the most prominent which attracted much attention were the Pelar- 

 goniums, and, as on the previous meeting, were exceedingly fine. Considering 

 the intense heat of the weather, and the removal of the plants to the place of 

 exhibition, it was feared the delicate petals would be damaged, but by the good 

 management of the parties conveying them they appeared as perfect as desirable. 



The decisions of merit were as follows : — 



Pelargoniums. Large Collection. — Amateurs or Gardeners: 1st. Mr. Bell, 

 of Chelsea Hospital, with fine plants of the following ; Erectum, Una, Florence, 

 Comte de Paris, Bridesmaid, Coronation. Prize, Gold Banksian Medal. 



2nd. Mr. Bromley, gardener to Miss Anderton ; Beauty of Ware, Diademe- 

 turn rubescens, Lady Murray, Florence, Coronation, Erectum. Prize Silver 

 Knightian Medal. 



Large Collection. — Nurserymen: 1st. Mr. Calleugh. Orange Boven, Una, 

 Foster's Prince. Albert, Seliua, Coronation, Hannah, Bassett's Priory Qui-en, 

 Lord Mayor, Victory, Life Guardsman, Florence, and Lumsden's Madeleine. 

 The plant of Priory Queen was the most profuse and beautiful specimen of 

 Pelargonium we ever saw. The plant was so admirably arranged as to be the 

 form of a large Cauliflower head; the breadth across being three feet and a 

 half, and the depth from the summit to the pot two feet. Mr. Catleugh's plants 

 were all similarly shaped, grown short, and spread out so as to he of uniform 

 size, and exhibiting tie greatest surface of bloom. Madeleine, Una, and Vic- 

 tory were also one mass of fine bloom; the latter, we judged, had more than 

 fifteen huudred expanded blossoms. Prize, Gobi Banksian Aiedal. 



2nd. Mr. Gaines. Gaines's Exquisite, Gaines's Lalia Jones, Gaines's Ra- 

 phael, Gaines's Grand Duke, Beatrice, Victory, Erectum, Cerito, Sylph, Coro- 

 nation, Jewess, Gaines's Alba perfecta. These plants were exceedingly well 

 grown, and in superb bloom. Sylph especially so. Prize, Silver Gilt Medal.
