Amongst the objects most conspicuous were the excellent collections of 

 Pelargoniums from Mr. Gaines and Mr. Catclengh, particularly considering the 

 successful results of their exhibition at Chiswick, on the previous Saturday. 

 Mr. Denyer's collection of cut flowers was very fine, and occupied, a large space 

 on the centre table of one of the tents, but there was a rival of no mean preten- 

 sions in Mr. Davis of the amateurs' class, who exhibited a large collection of 

 Roses and Geraniums. Mr. Pamplin's Heaths were also very fine, and Messrs. 

 Chandler's collection of Cacti was one of the most unique and attractive in the 

 grounds. 



Mr. A usell exhibited some fine standard Geraniums, trained in a treelike 

 form, and Fuchsia Buschii and Staudishii. The roses from Messrs. Dennis of 

 Chelsea, and Mr. Paul of Cheshunt, contained some very fine varieties ; and 

 Mr. Ivery of Rye-lane, Peckbam, exhibited three new seedling Geraniums, 

 Verbena Barnsii, pulcheri'ima, and rubra elegans. Amongst the flowers we must 

 not omit the iiue Slower of Mr. Groom's Poeony. The collections of Ranuncu- 

 luses from Mr. Brown, of Clapham, and Mr. Norman, of Woolwich; the Gera- 

 niums fioin Mr. Paice, of Walworth, and a fine large seedling Cactus from Mr. 

 Bunney, between Ackermanii and speciosissimus. We were happy to see the 

 zeal of the Committee well repaid by a most numerous attendance.

 strawberry, in pots, raised at Swanston in the Isle of Wight, and exhibited by 

 Messrs. Forrest and Hill, of Kensington. It was described as a good grower 

 as free a bearer as Keane's seedling, and also hardy, whilst the fruit was stated,
