Seedlings of 18 A8. — Owing to many liberal prizes offered by seedsmen

 hibited. But the following appear to be the most prominent sorts : — Pur- 

 ple Standard, a superior flower, purple crimson ; Mr. Seldon, (Turner's,) 

 a good flower, like Marquis of Aylesbury ; Grenadier, (Turner's,) a bold 

 claret flower ; General Cavaignac, (Hunt's.) one of the best of the fancy 

 dahlias of the season, exhibited every where with success; Miss Black- 

 more, (Keynes',) a fancy flower, of great beauty ; Lorraine, (Smith's,) a 

 fine fancy flower ; Miss Blackburne, (Dodd's,) a beautiful fancy flower ; 

 Nymph, (Steins,) color a blush rose, of the faintest tint, deepening to the tip, 

 which is blotched with cherry color ; General Vyse, a crimson maroon 

 flower, very fine ; Othello, (Braggs',) a fine flower, of a dense blackish ma- 

 roon color; Rainbow, (Keynes',) a magnificent fancy flower; Sunbeam, 

 (Keynes',) another fine fancy flower ; Earl of Clarendon, (Long's,) a brilliant

 in all cases, having been exhibited.
