Names of Plants (5. L.). — Physalis ednlis, Cape Gooseberry. It requires 

 to te preserved from frost, bat should be in the open border during the 

 summer. (<?. W. IT'.). — It seems to be Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, but 

 the small bit was crushed. You may cut off the Orange and Lemon treeB 

 now. (0. V. J.). — We think it is Lycopcdium ccesium, but the specimen is 

 bad. 



POULTKY, BEE, AND PIGEON 0KR0N10LE, 



CRYSTAL PALACE POULTRY SHOW. 



Once more the great poultry contest has come round. Other 

 shows have their upa and down-?, hut the old-established ones, 

 and especially the Palace, continue to be annual successes. 

 Even the conflict of shows which has this year taken place in 

 and near the metropolis, to the detriment alike of birds and of 

 the fancy, has not affected the entries at the Palace. They are 

 upwards of four thousand, and their quality seems yearly to 

 increase with the number. Some slight alterations there are 

 in the arrangement of pens, and the numbers begin on the 

 reverse side of the building to that on which they have of later 

 years, but as a whole all looks the same as in former years. 

 Mo6t of the same well-known faces are to be seen, and one could 

 fancy one had been asleep since some former November, and on 

 waking had found all in its old position. 



Dorkings, as always, head the list. Old dark cocks only number 

 eight. First is a moderately dark bird, square and good in 

 shape, but indifferent in comb; second a large bird but not re- 

 markable ; third we thought long on the legs and white in lobes. 

 The hens are a large and batter class. First and-cnp is a mag- 

 nificent bird, one of the finest we have ever seerj, rich and good 

 in colour; second a long and large bird too, of the old-fashioned 

 lighter colour ; third nice in colour and fair in size, but has a 

 swollen foot. Mr. Parlett's very highly commended hen looks 

 like the winner of last year. The oockerels are a large and good 

 class. Mr. Beachey's champion is a wonderful young bird, dark 

 in colour and immense in frame. We do not care to see so 

 much white in tail and eai , and one of his centre toes is carved ; 

 second is a bird of the same type, and rather shorter in legs ; 

 third apparently a young bird. "We liked his good -white feet, 

 though not his white lobes. Fourth a sprightly well-shaped bird 

 with a good comb ; fifth a lumpy short-legged bird. Among the 

 very highly commendeds Mr. Burnell has a fiDe bird, Mr. Peel 

 one of thorough Dorking shape, and Mr. Cresswell one with 

 good dark colour and really white feet. The pullets are not at 

 all equal to the cockerels in merit. The cnp pullet is a very 

 large Dark bird, but her fifth claws are not well put on ; second 

 a very fair Dark bird; third large but sooty in feet. This 

 sootinesa seems a disfigurement much on the increase, and is 

 worse in pullets than cockerels. Fourth large in frame, but 

 not good in feet ; fifth a bird promising tj grow much. Silver- 

 Greys are above the average, but 'we mast confess that the 

 judging sorely puzzled us, and in some cases the very worst 

 birds seemed to win. The cup cock is a grand bird and deserved 

 hiB position. He is evidently the cockerel 6hown by Mr. Cress- 

 well last year and claimed at Birmingham. Second has much 

 White in his breast and one centre toe cut short; third very 

 small and yellow, and about the worst in the class. We cannot 

 say much for the first hen ; she contrasts very unfavourably 

 with Mr. Burnell's very highly commended bird next to her, a 

 magnificent hen, worthy of a cup ; Eecond a fair bird with a bad 

 comb ; third a nice hen. In cockerels the cap goes to a now 

 well known bird which we need not describe; second is a good 

 bird all round, but not striking; third a small, neat, silvery 

 bird. In pullets the first winner i3 as well known as her brother ; 

 second a square bird ; third a very young pullet, promising to 

 be immense. Cuckoos are still shown in pairs. They do not 

 progress in number or quality. The first pair are well marKed 

 and well shaped; second are large but longer on leg, and the 

 cock is bad in comb ; third are a pretty pair, very dark. Whites 

 are progressing much. First-and-cnp is a grand cockerel, good 

 in comb and 6hape; Becond the Oxford cnp-wfnner, as white as 

 ever bat minus his sickles, or he must have been first again; 

 third a promising but slightly coarse bird. In hens the winner 

 is enormous, though we do not admire her so much as her 

 owner's third-prize bird, the cup hen of various former years ; 

 second a fine-framed hen barely through the moult.
