ficent; E. viridis, four feet high,"extraordiuary; E. Boweiana, very bushy ; E. 

 ventricosa tenuiflora, lovely ; and E. ventricosa coccinea minor, a most charming 

 little object. The compactness and healthiness of all these plants were truly 

 surprising, and highly meritorious. Another extensive collection was shown by 

 Mr. Jackson, nurseryman, of Kingston, Surrey; and the plants in it were con- 

 spicuous rather for age and size than for a very verdant or magnificent appear- 

 ance, though there were several of the latter description. The best specimens 

 were E. tricolor, a plant of very unusual dimensions ; E. jubata, four feet high, 

 dense, and splendid ; E. ampullacea major, dwarf and good ; E. odorata, 3 feet 

 in height, a beautiful plant; E. Savilleana, a little tree; a variety of E. prin- 

 ceps, good; E. jasminiflora alba, close and fine ; E. ventricosa breviflora, curious 

 as well as showy; E. iuflata rubra, excellent; a beautiful Seedling from E. 

 Shannoni ; E. Jacksoni, a delightful little plant; a very delicate-coloured Seed- 

 ling variety of E. tricolor; witli E. gemmifera and aristella. Mr. Dawson, of 

 Brixton Hill, furnished a beautiful small collection ; the principal p!ants in the 

 group were E. Massoni, very good ; E. mutabilis, excellent ; E. Irbyana, a re- 

 markably large and handsome specimen; a fine E. ampullacea, and E. Bergiana. 

 The fiuest of Mr. Clarke's plants were — E. tricolor, particularly good; E. per- 

 spicua, splendid; E. Juliana, capital; and some superb varieties of E. ven- 

 tricosa.
