eral others. Mr. Ayres's group was composed wholly of small plants, 

 which were all in excellent health and finely bloomed. Among them were 

 jasminiflora, a handsome species ; gemmifera ; tricolor elegans, with flesh 

 colored green tipped flowers ; ventricosa alba, metulseflora, and its more 

 striking variety bicolor, a very pretty Westphalingia, and a neat Bergiana. 

 In the group from Clapham were a Massoni in excellent condition ; the 

 comparatively new Vernoni superba, impulsa, covered with long delicate 

 pink tubes ; various varieties of tricolor ; the fine metulsflora bicolor above 

 alluded to ; Bothwelliana, a mass of bloom ; the curious little sanguinolenta, 

 with deep red flowers, shaded with violet ; varieties of inflata and of ven- 

 tricosa, and a large jasminiflora. In the group from Messrs. RoUisson we 

 observed a pretty little Massoni, a dense bush of Daphnasflora, and several 

 other well grown plants ; all of them were, however, somewhat deficient 

 in regard to bloom. 



Collections of 12 Heaths were shown by Mr. Green, Mr. May, and Mr. 

 Barnes, and among nurserymen by Mr. Dawson, of Brixton Hill, Messrs. 

 Veitch & Son, of Exeter, and Messrs. Frazer, of Lea-bridge. Mr. Green's 

 plants, which were large and well grown, contained Westphalingia, cov- 

 ered with a profusion of richly colored red tubes, a fine inflata, a beautiful 

 plant of elegans, Cavendishii, in good condition, and a pretty ventricosa 

 superba. Mr. May also sent excellent plants, among which were West- 

 phalingia; a fine tricolor, loaded with blossoms; a small elegans ; ventri- 

 cosa alba, a mass of white flowers ; a very fine Massoni, 2 feet in height 

 and quite as much in diameter, covered with blossoms ; and an excellent 

 plant of odorata. — Mr, Barnes's plants were large and finely grown ; among 

 them were odore rosae ; the singular looking Piukenetiana ; a large ventri- 

 cosa, tricolor, the pretty pink flowered infundibuliformis ; and a large ven- 

 tricosa superba. — Mr. Dawson's group was composed of neat, small plants, 

 which were, however, not differenifrom what has been already mentioned. — 

 The Exeter group came in excellent order ; it contained a large tricolor ; 

 gnaphaloides ; several varieties of ventricosa ; and small plants of gemmi- 

 fera and Coventryana, the latter covered with little pink stars. In the 

 Messrs. Frazers' group was a fine plant of tricolor elegans ; several varie- 

 ties of ventricosa ; and a fine daphnoides. — Groups of six plants were pro- 

 duced by Mr. Bruce, Mr. Jack, and Mr. Malyon Mr. Bruce sent Bergiana, 

 in capital condition, as also a fine tricolor ; and a pretty depressa, together 

 with tricolor elegans, and a variety of ventricosa. Mr. Jack sent six well 

 managed plants ; and so did Mr. Malyon ; in the latter group was a neat 

 depressa, Cavendishii, and three varieties of ventricosa. 



Of Roses, both cut and in pots, there was a fine display. Those in pots 

 were even superior to what was produced at the May exhibition ; and this 

 is the more remarkable when we consider the fleeting character of the 

 " Queen of Flowers," under the bright sunlight and excessive heat we have 

 experienced for the last fortnight or three weeks. In the amateur's class 

 for 12, there were two exhibitors: Mr. Terry, gardener to Lady Puller, 

 Youngsbury ; and Mr. Slovve, gardener to W. R. Baker, Esq., of Bay- 

 fordbury. Mr. Terry sent the following: — Tea: Napoleon, pale pink;
