This Society held its fourth exhibition for the season, it 

 the Surrey Zoological Gardens, on Wednesday last, 

 The day was unfavourable, and there was but a thin 

 attendance. The show itself was a good one. 

 • In the Amateurs' Class, collections of 15 Stove and 

 Greenhouse Plants were contributed by Messrs. Bruce, 

 Cole, and Hamp, the prizes being awarded in the ordei 

 in which the names stand. Mr. Bruce had good plants 

 of Kalosanthes nitida, Leschenaultia formosa, Gom- 

 pholobium polymorphum, Sollya linearis, Stephanotis 



Erica Parmentieri rosea. Mr. Cole showed the pale 

 yellow Allamanda grandiflora and A. cathartica, Cyrto- 

 ceras refiexum, the same ^chmea fulgens formerly 

 exhibited, still in good condition, Astelma eximium, the 

 beautiful Dipladenia crassinoda, Erica Savileana, and 

 Crowea saligna, the latter insufficiently in flower. Mr. 

 Hamp produced a well-grown plant, sparingly bloomed, 

 of Plumbago Larpenttc ; also Lisianthus Russellianus, 



showed in this class were Messrs. Pamplin and Pawley,
