AND GARDENER'S JOURNAL 



39 



The Messrs Winsliip, of Brighton, presented two very 

 large Itouqiiets, containing some choice and very pretty 

 flowers. Our friend Story will permit us to state that 

 these were, in our opiniim, the best bouquets he has 

 placed on our tables this seasun. Tliey did him credit. 



Mr S. R. Johnson of Charlestown, presented Roses 

 and Carnations with other choice flower.*. Mr Johnson's 

 specimens are always clean and finu. He arranges his 

 specimens with taste, and to great advantiige. Feeling 

 as we do, that as a cultivator, Mr Johnson has but lew 

 equals and no superior, we cannot let the present oppor- 

 luniiy pass without saying that we at all times turn from 

 his stand pleased and delighted. 



Messrs Jno. Hovey ofRo.'ibnry, and Hovcy & Co. of 

 Boston, presented Bouquets. 



Mr Jno. Hovey also presented a plant of Kerium 

 carneum, plenum. 



For the Committee, 



S. WALKER, Chairman. 



On Saturday, 28th ult. Mr \Vm. E. Carte^r, of the Bo- 

 tanical Garden, Cambridge, presented a seedling Phlox, 

 (white) which we believe to be superior to any of our 

 present varieties. We understand it is now under cul- 

 tivation by Mr C who we know can make the most 

 of it. S. W.
