 and Sons, for group of Orchids ; Silver Banksian, Osborn and Sons, 

 for group of Plants ; Silver Banksian, J. J. Hayes, for group of

Although the exhibits were not unusually numerous on this 

 occasion, they were of great interest. The majority were arranged 

 in the conservatory, where the groups from Messrs. Veitch, Osborn 

 and the General Horticultural Company formed the chief attrac- 

 tions. There were no entries of fruit or vegetables. The system 

 adopted at this meeting of placing in the Council Room a list of the 

 exhibitors to whom medals were awarded, and of the plants for 

 which certificates were granted, deserves great commendation.
