 May, and at the Botanical Society in June. N. Gaines, Surrey 

 Lane, Batter&ea, having purchased the Stock of the following 

 beautiful Calceolarias, intends letting them out in a few weeks 

 and as there will be but few plants, early orders are requested 

 LADY ANN C H ARTERIS.— " Nearly a round flower, richly 

 mottled with bright-yellow and rich light and dark reddish- 

 brown, rearly equal of each, full average size, shrubby habit, 

 very handsome and effective as well as novel. M

 its class, nearly as deep as it is across, richly blotched and 

 speckled with dark-brown upon a gold-coloured ground not 

 equalled in form ; shrubby habit." ' 



PROFESSOR WILSON.-" Spotted like the leopard upon 

 brilliant yellow ground, brighter and better than Lady Con- 

 stable, and more inflated ; a very distinct varietv, and worthy 

 of the very best collections." 



KINGHORNIL— "A very distinct variety full of shaded elm. 

 gated spots, or very short stripes, upon a dark-yellow ground • 

 shrubby and lich io habit." '

 shrubby handsome plant.

 form. They were also noticed in the Chronicle, as the best 

 exhibited nt the May Chiswick Show. The last two were not 

 in flower at the time, but have been selected for their approxi- 

 mati on to them in most of th e particular points.

Declaration to be furnished to them in the Garden 

 stating under what letter their plants are to be shown ; and they 

 are particularly requested to takk notice, that if errors in the

 Florists' Flowers ; and the Judges are restrained from awarding 

 any Medal to such Exhibitions, whatever their merit may be, if

 all oth-.r subjects of Exhibition will be neatly and leziblv 

 labelled with their names. * *

when it was exhibited at the rooms of the Horticultural Society 

 of London, where it was awarded a Prize, and afterwards 

 spoken of by Dr. Lindley, in his Report of their Meeting, in the 

 following terms, in the Chronicle of 25th March '«n _ 

 " Messrs. Da vies & Co exhibited a very handsome Seedling 

 Camellia, raised from the seed of C. colvillii, fertilised with 

 the pollen of C. reticulata. In the foliage it resembles the older 

 sorts, but the flower, which is large and well filled up, partakes 

 of the form and colour of its male parent. A certificate was 

 awarded for it." Price from 3/. 3s. to 4/. 4*. stock positively

CEREUS GRANDIFLORUS RUBRA. This splendid new

 Chronicle. The flowers measure 10 inches in diameter, are of a 

 pale-red colour, with a shade of purple in the centre. The

JUDGES.— The Judges have the power of increasing or 

 diminishing the number and value of the Silver Medals offered 

 by the Society for particular objects, and also of conferring 

 Silver Medals or Certificates in cases not contemplated in these 

 regulations, if they think it necessary to do so 



The Judges are also required to bear in mind that the Society's 

 Medals are offered less for new aDd curious objects than for fine 

 specimens of Horticultural skill, the design of the Counr a 

 instituting these meetings being not so much to enc .ura^e the 

 Collector as to reward the skilful Gardener. They are also not 

 to make any award in cases where the objects exhibited do not 

 appear wor hy of a Medal ; otherwise a bad single exhibition 

 might obtain a prize, merely because there is no better exhi- 

 bition of the same class to oppose it.
