The rule of the Society relative to the specimens of seedling Pelargoniums 

 being exhibited was, '• Seedling Pelargoniums are to be exhibited on single 

 trusses, with a leaf; the truss to be elevated above the leaf." In many instances 

 the rule was not attended to, and specimens were disqualified, which otherwise 

 would have been selected as meriting a prize. The number of superior seedlings 

 was far beyond those of any previous meeting, and many of them are very valu- 

 able acquisitions to this justly esteemed tribe of flowers, and no doubt that an 

 addition to the number will be exhibited at the next meeting on July 9th. 



The kinds which obtained prizes were Foster's Sultana, Sir R. Peel, Sunshine, 

 and Nestor; Beck's Leonora and Meteor; Pamplin's Duke of Devonshire; 

 Bassett's Model of Perfection. 



Roses. There were collections from Messrs. Wood, Rivers, Lane, Paul, Den- 

 nis, Cubbett, and others, but not near so numerous or so fine as on former June 

 meetings; probably the dry weather had checked their maturity, and the day 

 was too early, in which case the next exhibition will excell iu Roses.
