 the best : — Light blue : Orondates, Robinson, Nimrod, Grand Vidette,

 (double), Prince van Sax Weimar, Emicus, Baron van Thuyll, Prince 

 Oscar, and Mignonaude Dryfhout (double). Violet: Tubal Cain, 

 "William I. and Prince Albert, the latter is very dark. White : 

 Helen, Grand Vainqueur, Grand Vidette, La Candeur, and A la mode 

 Epuisee, double white, with a pink centre. Blush: Grandeur de 

 Meneilles, Anna Maria (double), Triumph Blandina (ditto), and Tubi-

 (double). Deep rose ; Amphion. Red: Herstelde Vreede, Diebitsch 

 Sabalskansky, Appeluis, Le Francq de Berkhey, and Waterloo (double). 

 Light red: La Dame du Laack, and Lord Wellington. The same 

 nurserymen also sent examples of Narcissi, among which the best were 

 Nannette, yellow, and Radiator, white with a yellow centre. A Cer- 

 tificate of Merit was awarded for the Hebeclinium, and a Banksian 

 Medal for the Hyacinths. — Mr. E. G. Henderson, of the Wellington- 

 road Nursery, St. John's Wood, sent an Ixora, two seedling Rhodo- 

 dendrons, a crimson and a light kind ; and a well grown plant of 

 Dielytra spectabilis, for which a Banksian Medal was awarded. — The 

 same Fumewort, evidently grown in less heat, and more highly 

 coloured, was exhibited by Mr. Clark, nurseryman, Brixton-hill ; but 

 by far the finest specimen of this Dielytra was produced by Mr. Ed- 

 monds, gardener to the Duke of Devonshire at Chiswick House. The 

 latter was, however, unfortunately disqualified from receiving any 

 prize on account of its arriving too late, it being especially required 

 that all subjects of exhibition shall be in the room two clear hours 

 before the time of meeting. The same thing happened in regard to a 

 Java Rhododendron from Messrs. Rollisson, which also came too late 

 to fall under the consideration of the judges. — From Messrs. Lane, of 

 Great Berkhampstead, came a single white seedling Camellia, a speci- 

 men of the sweet Trichopil (Trichopilia suavis), and four large boxes 

 of cut Roses, fresh and beautiful as just gathered from their Rose house.

 Baronne Prevost, blush, large and beautiful ; Caroline de Sausal, 

 blush ; Chateaubriand, delicate pink ; Comte de Montalivet, rosy 

 crimson ; Cornet, bright pink ; Dr. Arnal, deep crimson ; Duchesse

 milion ; General Negrier, rosy blush; George Lecamus, rosy blush ;
