Kelway for thirty-six. Mr. W. Chater was first in Hollyhocks for 
six spikes, and had also the best twenty-four cut blooms, Levia- 
than and Queen being new. Messrs. Downie and Laird were 
first with Phloxes ; and there was a fine collection of Palms from 
Mr. Bull. 
FRUIT COMMITTEE. 
First-class Certificates were awarded to new white Grapes, 
Chilwell White and Ferdin and de Lesseps, a cross between the 
American Strawberry-grape and the Royal Muscadine, from Mr. 
Pearson ; also to a fine Plum, Luke of Edinburgh, from Mr. Dry. 
A special Certificate was given to Mr. G-. Ward for four magnifi- 
cent specimens of Charlotte-Rothschild Pine, the total weight of 
which was thirty-eight pounds, from plants sixteen months old ; 
also to Mr. Record for splendid Morello Cherries. Messrs. Carter 
sent specimens of a black-seeded Mustard from China. 
GENERAL MEETING. 
W. Marshall, Esq.^ in the Chair. 
Mr. Berkeley stated that Rodriguezia suaveolens, which was 
sent by Mr. B. S. W^illiams with the Lcelia mentioned above, was 
the same with Gomesia recurva of Loddige's ' Botanical Cabinet,' 
and also figured in the ' Botanical Magazine ' under the name of 
Pleurothallis suaveolens. 
The beautiful Lilium Wilsoni, supposed to be a form of L. Thun- 
lergianum, proves quite distinct. Many plants during the present 
season have shown a tendency to produce golden leaves. 
Messrs. Paul's collection of cut branches of ornamental shrubs, 
which, among other things, contained a specimen of the true 
Mhamnus alpina was highly commended. 
The early white Tripoli Onion was said to be raised from seed 
in a warm district, but is certainly distinct from the late Tripoli. 
Fruit-bearing branches of Gleditscliia were sent from Chis- 
wick.
