ment has been fairly successful, and has been estimated in the award. 

 This exhibition was made up of a miscellaneous background of ever- 

 greens, varied from month to month in the more prominent parts by 

 groups or specimens of flowering plants, amongst which we may par- 

 ticularly mention Eucharis grandidora, Anthurium, Bouvardias, and 

 towards the close of the exhibition, Gladioli. A handsome bush of 

 SMmmia oblata attracted a good deal of notice, and some of the 

 novelties among Coniferse received much attention from the foreign 

 Jurors associated with ns. 



Mr. "Wills's exhibition was of a different character altogether, con- 

 sisting mainly of the class tnown as furnishing plants, and its chief 

 merit consisted in the arrangement, which was the most tasteful and 

 effective in the whole exhibition, though Oimuch less extent than those 

 previously adverted to. As part of this arrangement he had a revolv- 

 ing stand, which we consider deserving of special mention and appro- 

 bation. 



Messrs. Paul & Son's exhibition consisted mainly of Hollies, 

 Conifers, and other evergreens, and was generally set off by cut Eoses, 

 and in September by a group of Vallotas. 



Messrs. Kelway & Son showed only Gladioli, but they were of so. 

 much merit that we have proposed to award to them a Silver Flora 

 Medal. 



Deducting the cost of the medals, we understand that we are to 

 allot £243 between the exhibitors, according to the total number of 

 marks obtained, and, based on this understanding, we have made our 

 awards as follows ; —

INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION, 1871. 

 In the case of the international competitions it was ascertained that 

 previously to the organisation of the Jury, to which we were appointed 

 to act as Secretaries, certain foreign novelties had been exhibited at 

 the meetings of the Society, and with a view to completeness we have 

 here included the awards made to these subjects by the Floral Com- 

 mittee. Subsequently the awards have been made by an International 

 Jury constituted in accordance with paragraph 4 of the annexed printed 

 paper, which formed the instructions under which we have acted. 

 [Horticultural Department of London International 

 Exhibition, 1871. 



1. By a Minute of Council, dated April 6tb, 1870, the following gentle- 

 men were appointed, with the sanction of Her Majesty's Commissioners 

 for the International Exhibition, to act as Permanent Secretaries of the 

 Horticultural Section of the London International Exhibition, the ma- 

 nagement of which is vested in the hands of the Society — namely, 



Dr. Hogg, F.L.S., for the Fruit Department. 



Dr. Maetebs, F.R S., for the Foreign division of the Floral Department. 



T. Moore. Esq., F.L.S., for the Home division of the Floral Department. 

 These gentlemen have been accordingly deputed to carry out all the 

 necessary arrangements, and to conduct all correspondence relating 

 thereto. 



2. Foreign Horticulturists may enter and exhibit novelties or any other 

 objects of interest at any meetings of the Fruit or Floral Committee. 



3. Such Foreign Horticulturists as may be accredited to represent their 

 respective couutries at the London Exhibition, or who m^y attend in the 

 capacity of distinguished visitors, will be installed pro tern, as members 

 of the Scientific Fruit or Floral Committee, and will ite invited to join in 

 their deliberations, conforming at the same time to the general regu- 

 lations of the respective Committees, which require that members should 

 retire while sui^jects in which they are personally interested are being 

 adjudicated upon. 



4. The Secretaries will form, ex o^^do, the nucleus of an International 

 Jury for the adjudication of all Foreign novelties exhibited in this de- 

 partment ; and in order that nothing of importance may be overlooked, 

 or may fail to receive full consideration, they will at each meeting during 

 the season (May to October) invite the assistance of such members 

 (Home or Foreign) of the Fruit and Floral Committees respectively as 

 may be known to be autLorities on the merits of the particular classes of 

 flowers or fruits to be exhibited. 



5. The Permanent Exhibitions will be judged in the manner already in- 

 dicated, so far as the conditions will admit. They will be examined at 

 the first meeting in each month (May to October), and marks will be re- 

 corded at each examination in favour of the meritorious features of each 

 competiug exhibition, which marks will be summed up at tbe end of the 

 season, and the rewards distributed accordingly. In addition to this, a 

 medal may also be awarded to any exhibitor for any specially meritorious 

 display noted during the season. 



6. The awards made to novelties shown by Foreign exhibitors will 

 consist of the usual certificates (First and Second-class) granted by the 

 Society for similar subjects. 



7. When Foreigners exhibit in the classes defined in the Society's 

 Schedule, they must conform to the general regulations, but those who 

 compete successfully may, if they desire it, on notification to the Se- 

 cretary, oh' ain Medals instead of the Money Prizes. 



8. The Prizes awarded for the Permanent Exhibitions, as well as those 

 to foreigners for Specinl Exhibitions, hors de coiicours, such as (1) Groups 

 of New Plants, Orcbids, Palms, Apples, Pears, or any similar prominent 

 subjects ; (2) Miscellaneous or mixed Groups of Plants, Flowers, or Fruits ; 

 or (3) Remarkable Individual Specimens, will consist of Medals. Those 

 who may desire to commute the Medals for Money or Articles of Value, 

 must notify the same to the respective Secretaries before the close of 

 the season. 



9. In forwarding objects for exhibition (especially flowers or perish- 

 able fruits), when they are not accompanied by a person in charge, ex- 

 hibitors are advised to take especial care to forward the bill of lading in 

 due time to tbe Assistant-Secretary, James Eichaees. at the Society's 

 Offices, South Kensington, as in de'fault of the receipt of this document 

 delay has already in some cases taken place in the delivery of perishable 

 objects sent for exhibition. 



10. In ail other respects, and in so far as they apply, foreigners will be- 

 guided by the general regulations of the Society's Exhibitions, as printed 

 in the Schedules. By Order of tbe Council,
