ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY, LONDON.* 
(Continued from our last.) 
In the class of thirty stovE AND GREENHOUSE PLANTS there were 
four competitors, viz., Mr. May (Ist), gardener to Mrs. Lawrence, 
Ealing Park; Mr. Cole (2nd), gardener to H. Collyer, Esq., Dartford ; 
Mr. Pamplin (8rd), Walthamstow. Mr. May’s plants, as will be seen 
by the following table, were of larger growth than those of Mr. Cole; 
but the latter were objects of very superior culture. The following 
table* will be found to be a more easy mode of conveying a correct 
idea of the comparative merits of the several collections than any other 
mode of description. The figures indicating the comparative height 
and width of the plants, and the asterisk is prefixed to such as were 
superlatively well grown and flowered :
