REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PLANTS AND FLOWERS. 



155 



R. & J. Farquhar & Co. were awarded a Gold Medal for a very 

 interesting collection of Chinese plants grown from seeds collected 

 in China by E. H. Wilson, the botanical explorer. A list of the 

 plants exhibited is given herewith together with the original col- 

 lector's numbers. Many of them have not been identified as yet 

 and will probably prove to be new species. 



The Messrs. Farquhar showed also a few interesting plants from 

 Europe and elsewhere of which mention is made as follows: 



A new seedling Iris, a cross between Iris Kacmpferi and /. 

 pallida dalmatica, the characters of both parents very plainly shown. 

 This was awarded Honorable Mention as was also a summer-flower- 

 ing Pelargonium " Oster Gruss" ; and the same award was made for 

 Geranium Mrs. Charles Pfaff. A First Class Certificate was given 

 for the Begonia Pink Beauty in this collection.
