Sept. 24, p. 625: ‘This flower has been unfortunately very 
badly grown during the season ; being exclusively cultivated 
in the neighbourhood of London, ithas not been fit for compe- 
tition at either of the shows forthe cup. The blooms produce: 
‘uesday, though by no means equal to those of last season, 
or Ae early part of the present, gave promise that it will be a 
decidedly first-rate variety, when it comes into the hands of 
country growers, the centre being in every instance perfectly 
up t the petals cupped, and the flower well formed.” See Report 
same paper, Oct. 1, p. 639: ‘ Wildman’s Bianca, w: 
agattely: produced a Woe fit for showing until the latter part 
of the season, was in fine poner a great number of blooms 
being shown, the renols ene rst-rate.” See Report in the 
Florists’ Sapna of Nov. last, p. 251: We some little time since 
paid a visit to Messrs. at Nursery, at Hackney ; the 
Dahlias ark in fine bloom, thou evidently struggling 
with the smoke, &c., of that confined district, Too much 
credit cannot be given to these gentlemen for their strenuous 
exertions to overcome so great an obstacle. In the collection 
which is large, we particularly noticed that beautiful white, 
Mas cnet 8 pees there were several plants of it, and all held 
owers.””

“So far as we have seen, during sr resent, season, the 
growers appear to be aware of the pr ties required in a 
show Dahlia, and most of those exhinred on Tuesday pos- 
sessed them in a considerable degree. Decidedly the Best of 
these is Smith’s Sir Robert Sale, a beautifully- Gas dark

Floricultural Society, on account of no more than one a

S. and Co. raat this opportanity of informing those 
of thelr tends who m: that their Dahlias 
being grown in the frnmediate vicinity of Pbadone they cannot 
produce their bloomed in such perfection a ecorsit ho have every 
advantage of a country situation; ad o this, their Plants 
were from A.ugust to the end of September ra infested with the 
thrip, that they could not produce even a tolerable specimen of 
janca, to compete at any of the eG shows for Mr. Wildman’s 
prize; as a proof of this, at the first here was no conipeti- 
tion, they could not produce a lbonls at the Salt-hill (the 
second), and the Floricnltural (the third), the Plants were not 
sufficiently recovered to compete with ON as the season ad- 
vanced, the Plants produced fine blooms in profusion, so 
nable them to exhibit twenty-four fine booms at the Evening 
Mere of the Floricultural Society, when it was pronounced a 
first-cla: onciusion, they recommend Bianca as a 
white of first-rate qualities, and second to none. 
he same observations as regard the thrip may be applied to 
Rival Yellow; and having but eee plants, they had not an op- 
portunity to compete for prizes.
