 BEDDING LOBELIAS. 



Of these useful little plants fourteen varieties were cultivated, and the follow- 

 ing were awarded First-class Certificates : — 



Beauty of Eavensbourne ( Carter). Free-flowering, of a rosy-lilac colour ; 



useful for its distinctness. 

 Little Gem (Bowie). Free-flowering and dwarf ; blue, with white eye. 

 Trentham Blue (Stevens). Dwarf-habited ; flower of a light blue; good. 



VERBENAS. 



From amongst the Verbenas grown, and which generally, owing to the ex- 

 treme heat and drought, were very indifferently flowered, the following stood 

 out so boldly, and with such attractive features, as to secure in each case a First- 

 class Certificate. They were : — 



James Birbeck (Berry). A crimson -flowered variety, remarkable for its freely 

 developed blossoms, and especially for continuing in an effective condition 

 throughout the season. 



John Wilson (Turner). A very free-flowering and good sort, the flowers of the 

 colour of St. Margaret's, crimson, with a bluish tint in the centre.
