Banksian medal for a group of large Azaleas, which were evidently 

 a treat to the visitors ; the General Horticultural Company having 

 a similar award for a rich and varied assortment of ornamental- 

 foliaged plants, Ferns, and Gloxinias. Messrs. Osborn a bronze 

 Banksian medal for a group of hardy plants, in which Saxifraga 

 "Wallacei, the finest of the Mossy Saxifrages, was well shown ; and 

 Mr. Cannell also had a bronze medal for a collection including 

 dwarf and remarkably fine examples of Primula amcena grandi- 

 flora, and P. amcena lilacina magnifica, the finest varieties we 

 have seen of this valuable Primula ; and cut flowers arranged in 

 bold bouquet-like mounds of large Gloxinias and richly spotted 

 Mimuluses, the gorgeous colours of the latter appearing to 

 astonish the visitors who crowded round this collection. Mr. 

 "Wooler of Sadberge Park, Darlington, was adjudged an extra 

 prize for hose-in-hose Oxlips and Polyanthuses, which also found a 

 host of admirers. 



Never was a show more greatly admired than this, and the 

 crowds enjoyed in the most commendable manner the great treat 

 afforded them. The Show was well managed by Mr. Barron, and 

 Mr. Dick and other officials of the Society exerted themselves to 

 render the affair what it decidedly proved to be— a great success.
