Single Specimens. — Tlie best consisted of two plants of the glorious 

 Mcdinilla magnifica, anfl a fine bush of Erica elegans from Messrs. 

 Veitch ; a beautiful example of Erica Sindryana from T. B. Graham, 

 Esq., of Lavender Sweep, Clapliam Common; the charming Chinese 

 Tndigofera decora from Mr. Ivison, gardener to the Duchess Dowager 

 of Northumberland, at Sion ; and a nice plant of the Griffith Ixora 

 from Mr. Green. In addition to these, Messrs. Veitch furnished the 

 Jasmine-flowered Bhododendron ; Mr. Cole, the Cels Hovea; Mr. 

 May, Boronia serrulata ; Mr. Stewart, Physolobium gracile ; Messrs. 

 Fairbairn, Erica favoides elegans ; and Mr. Stanly, E. Hartnelli. 



Some interesting novelties were produced. Messrs. Veitch had the 

 lovely Cantua dependens ; M. Baumann, of Ghent, Deutzia gracilis, a 

 white-flowered, slender-growing, hardy shrub, from Japan ; Mr. Lod- 

 diges, an Aerides, with long racemes of gay rose-coloured blossoms, 

 and a new Lycaste, from Bolivia, with pale yellow flowers; Messrs. 

 Henderson, the Broughtonia violacea ; Mr. Franklin, gardener to Mrs. 

 Lawrence, an Epidendrum ; Mr. Carson, Trichopilia coccinea, a pro- 

 mising species, with a large dark red-coloured lip ; Mr. Cole, the 

 Oleander-leaved Allamanda ; Mr. May, gardener (o Mrs. Lawrence, 

 Pimelea Nieppergiana ; and M. de Jonghe, of Brussels, a rather hand- 

 some Billbergia. These, together with two or three other plants, 

 either not new or unimportant, constituted all that were exhibited in 

 this e]a-s. 



Pelargoniums were entirely confined to "Fancies" and "Capes," 

 both of which are advancing rapidly in public favour; and, when we 

 consider the variety of colours to be found in the latter, the curious 

 stains and markings of the former, together with their profuse flowering 

 habit, this growing change in their favour is not to be wondered at. 

 fancies were produced in admirable condition by Mr. Ayres, of Brook- 

 lands, Blackheath, and Mr. Ambrose, of Battersea. In the former 

 group, whose flowers were large and fresh, were Queen Superb, 

 Statinski, picturatum, Hero of Surrey, Alboni, and Gipsy Queen. 

 Mr. Ambrose had picturatum, Defiance, Madame Meillez, Ibraham 

 Pacha, Formosum, and Anais. Mr. Poser's Cape species were well 



iwn and very attractive. 



Paiisies in pots were exhibited by Mr. Bragg and Mr. Turner. It 

 was predicted that this mode of showing Pansies would prove a failure ; 

 but so far from that being the case, we imagine that before long, the 

 em must be universally adopted, so tasteful and effective were those 

 exhibited on Saturday last. Mr. Bragg's varieties were, Ophir, Mr. 

 I , Polyphemus, Constellation, Junius, Conspicua Juventa, Madame 

 Sontag, Eliza Ann, Queen of England, Lady Carrington, and Flying 

 Dutchman. Mr. Turner's plants were, Juventa, Polyphemus, Queen 

 of England, Surplice, Mr. Beck, Mrs. Hamilton, Thisbe, Almanzor, 

 Swansdown, Constantine, Leader, Ophir, Goliah, Euphemia, Duke of 

 Norfolk, Disraeli, Constellation, Aurora, Bellona, and Supreme.
