From J. B. Moore we had fine plants of Hybrid Perpetual 

 roses Duke of Edinburgh and Mad. Lacharme. Both of these 

 t)lants were in admirable condition and full of fine flowers and buds. 

 Mr. Moore has also exhibited ver}- fine collections of cut flowers of 

 choice Hybrid Perpetual roses, which for size of flower and fine 

 form have seldom, if ever, been equalled. He has also shown the 

 new Tea rose, Cheshunt H3'brid, the color of which, cherry carmine, 

 is quite novel. It is a very fine rose. 



W. IL Spooner and B. G. Smith, have each shown good collec- 

 tions of H3brid Perpetual roses ; L. H. Foster and Twombley & 

 Sons, Bon Silene and Saffrano rose buds, and E. S. Rand, Jr., very 

 fine dishes of Cherokee and Fortune's Double Banksia roses. 



Gloxinias. — We regret to report that for the prizes offered there 

 was no competition, except for the single specimen, Joseph Clark 

 being the successful competitor with a fine plant. 



J. B. Moore has shown some very good seedlings, making on the 

 •29th of April a good display under numbers. The Committee con- 

 sidered the following as worthy of note : No. 2 ; medium sized flow- 

 er, spotted throat, crimson lake, edge of petals faint lilac. No. 3 ; 

 large flower, color crimson with deeper velvety crimson tube, white 

 spotted throat. No. 5 ; large flower ; color deep purple, with hght 

 violet edges, white throat. On the 15th of April Mr. Moore pre- 

 sented another fine seedling, a good flower, of fine substance, large, 

 round, well opened ; white throat shading to a purphsh crimson, 

 with delicate pink edges.
