84 THE PHILADELPH IA FL ORIST. [July 



/W ville. A plant of Araucarict excelsa was also exhibited, about 14 xS 

 feet high, but the top was necessarily bent, the ceiling being low. ca 

 Some fine Azaleas were there from Mrs. Holbrook, Eighteenth street, \ 

 Sixth avenue — gardener, David Scott, formerly of our city. A fine 

 specimen of Bonapartea juncea, named in honor of (not Louis the 

 nephew, but the uncle himself) Napoleon Bonaparte — Lucien was 

 more of a naturalist, especially in Ornithology. A name is a name, 

 and the less change the better — we cannot be learning all our lives. 

 A fine specimen of the Butterfly orchid Ontidium papilin, and onti- 

 dium flexuosum also in fine state. A fine collection of our friends 

 the Cacti, from T. Richardson, curious and interesting. The Richard- 

 sons at home and abroad have shewn themselves friends to Horticul- 

 ture. We have seen them exhibit plants before to-day. T. Hogg's 

 plants were novel and select, and excited the amateurs in novelties. 

 In fact a friend of ours brought some of them to this city, although 

 we would have it that our nurserymen are posted up in all Horticul- 

 tural desiderata. 



Premiums of the Horticultural Society. — We subjoin the list of 

 premiums awarded at the late Exhibition, and have the satisfaction 

 of stating that measures will at once be taken to arrange for the au- 

 tumn display, which will fully sustain the character of excellence so 

 triumphantly achieved at this first semi-annual exhibition^: Tribune.
