MISCELLANEOUS EXHIBITS. 



These were extremely numerous and interesting, the extensive and 

 handsome groups of plants exhibited by the various nurserymen 

 contributing an important attraction to the Show. One of the most 

 noticeable of the groups in the marquee was the grand collection of 

 Dracaenas from the General Horticultural Company. This handsome 

 group was margined with Gloxinias and Adiantums, and well merited 

 the gold medal that was awarded for it, a similar recognition being 

 accorded to Messrs. James Carter and Co., High Holborn, for a most 

 extensive collection of Coleuses and other plants. Among the 

 Coleuses all the fine new varieties that this firm has obtained were 

 well represented. A gold medal was also awarded for the handsome 

 group of new and rare plants from Mr. W. Bull, which occupied a 

 large portion of one of the banks, and included examples of his best 

 introductions. Sarraccnias, Dracaenas, &c, were well represented.
