TEMPLE SHOW AWARDS. 



The Temple show is the most im- 

 portant exhibition of the year in Lon- 

 don. The recent exhibition was one of 

 the best ever held. The following newer 

 plants were given awards of merit : 



Rose Coquina — A Wichuraiana variety 

 having large trusses of single flowers 

 with prettily cupped petals. The plant is 

 of vigorous habit, sending forth numer- 

 ous long pendent shoots, from the ends 

 of which the trusses of flowers are borne. 

 The color is a shade of pink tipped with 

 rose. Shown by Wm. Paul & Sons and 

 Hobbies, Ltd. 



Rose Margaret— A hybrid tea variety 



of large size. The color is a delicate 

 pink; the tone being deepest in the cen- 

 ter. Shown by Wm. Paul & Sons. 



Rose Mrs. Taft — A polyantha variety, 

 as exhibited, about two feet high. The 

 stiff shoots are crowned with bunches of 

 double flowers that are a deep shade of 

 rose. Exhibited by Hugh Low & Co. 



Rose American Pillar — A charming 

 pillar variety, with relatively large, sin- 

 gle blossoms borne in big clusters. The 

 color is rose-pink, the base of the petals 

 being white. A variety that is sure to 

 become popular. Exhibited by H. Can- 

 nell & Sons. 



Rose Jessie — A dwarf polyantha rose, 

 somewhat similar to the well-known Mme. 

 N. Levavasseur variety. The petals are a 

 beautiful crimson tint. The plant is suit- 

 able for pot culture. Shown by Henry 

 Merrjrweather & Sons, Ltd. 



Begonia Pink Pearl — An exquisite va- 

 riety, the petals being soft rose-salmon. 

 The plant was especially vigorous, and 

 had no fewer than eight fully-expanded 

 blooms. These are of the largest size, 

 and of the type known as rose-centered. 

 Shown by Messrs. Blackmore & Langdon. 



Carnation Carola — A large, clove-col- 

 ored variety, possessing considerable 

 fragrance, the perfume resembling the 

 clove carnation. The habit is vigorous 

 and the flower stems very long. Shown 

 by C. Englemann. 



Ficus Australis Variegata — A number 

 of plants, each about eight inches in 

 height, were displayed in a basket. The 

 foliage is smaller, but shaped similarly 

 to that of F. elastica, and it is densely 

 variegated with gold. Shown by Sander 

 & Sons. 



Ptychoraphis Siebertiana — A palm re-

Marguerite White Perfection — A dou 

 ble-flowered variety of the common mar- 

 guerite. The disc florets are white and 

 elongated slightly, but they retain theii" 

 tubular form, and give the flower the 

 appearance of an anemone-centered 

 flower, such as is seen in some pyre 

 thrums and chrysanthemums. Shown by

Iris Hybrida Sir Trevor Lawrence— 

 The standards and falls of this fine plant 

 are of a deep mauve color, the former 

 segments having fine-penciled white
