In the crowded state of these gardens on the days of exhibition it was always 

 a difficult task to review the specimens., but this was never more felt than on the 

 last occasion, as the assemblage of visitors who were congregated round tiie 

 gates before the period of opening, soon filled tire over thronged tents. There 

 were, however, novelties of admiration, which rendered this exhibition, in many 

 respects, unsurpassed. The Geraniums were particularly conspicuous, and the 

 collection of Mr. Cock, of Chiswick, very rich in choice plants, was closely fol- 

 lowed by that of Mrs. Lawrence. Mr. Catcleugh gained the first prize for 

 nuisi . rymen. and the exhibition of Mr. Gaines was very fine. The first exhibited 

 Sylph, Rienza, Climax, Discount, Coronation, Lady Murray, Spadilla, Prima 

 Donna, Joan of Arc, Victory, Lineatum, and the Beauty of Ware. The seedlings 

 of Mr. Foster were named the Nymph and the Beauty, and that of the llev. Mr. 

 Garth, was the Bridesmaid. The Calceolarias were fine specimens, and in 

 beautiful condition of flower and growth. The two large collections of Mrs. 

 L .wrence and Mr. Green followed each other so closely that an enumeration of 

 the specimens will be the fairest criterion of their respective merit. Mis. Law- 

 rence's contained the following: —

 caruea, 2 perspicua nana, 1 Westphalingia and ovata, with Epacris Hetroneina. 



In the small collections the rivalry of the competitors was displayed in thj 

 production of some very valuable plants. Mr. Green's collection, which gained a 

 gold Banksian, contained Chorozema ovata, Ilelichrysum superba, Oncidium 

 Hexuosmn, Erica tricolor, Cactus speciosa, and Euphorbia splendens. The cul-
