scented like Hawthorn. It is identical with B. ollongum, Grin'., 

 according to Dr. Hooker, and B. AucJelandii, Hook, fil., is a form

April 12. — The principal features of this show consisted of 

 Azaleas, four plants of which were sent by Mr. Turner, of Slough, 

 and smaller ones by Messrs. Lane, of Berkhampstead. Mr. 

 Turner's principal collection, large in size and loaded with bloom, 

 consisted of Eulalie Yan Geert, Magnificans, Due de Nassau, 

 Perryana, Boi Leopold, Louise Von Baden, Queen Victoria, and 

 what is termed a union plant, i. e. tw T o varieties worked on one 

 stock, a mode of treatment by which very pleasing results are 

 often produced. Mr. Turner also showed two fine seedling Azaleas, 

 consisting of George Eyles, large orange-scarlet, with little 

 spotting, and Eire King, similar in colour, but not quite so large 

 or flat, and heavily spotted in the upper petals : both promise to 

 be acquisitions.
