Aicard of Merit. 



To Mule Pink 'Lady Dixon ' (votes, 14 for), from Percy D. Williams, 

 Esq., Lanarth, St. Keverne. A particularly handsome plant, with perfectly 

 double, sweet-scented, rosy-crimson flowers, with fimbriated petals, borne 

 on stiff stems. It is very floriferous, and most interesting from the fact 

 that it is the first recorded progeny obtained by crossing the common 

 border Sweet William with a clove-scented Carnation. (Fig. 135.) 



To Bunch Primrose ' Sultan ' (votes, unanimous), from Miss Jekyll, 

 V.M.H., Munstead Wood, Godalming (gr. Mr. A. Zumbach). This really 

 remarkable plant produces an unusually fine truss of large substantial 

 orange-yellow flowers with a deeper centre. The flower stems are very 

 stout and about 10 inches long, and the foliage is broad and of a beauti- 

 ful deep green. The plant exhibited was raised from seed sown in March, 

 1900. 



To Single Tulip ' Brunhilde ' (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Barr, 

 Covent Garden. A distinct variety, with bold cup-shaped flowers borne 

 on stout stems ; the colour is yellow, passing to creamy white. (Fig. 136.) 



To Double Tulip ' William III.' (votes, 11 for, 2 against), from Messrs. 

 Barr. Flowers large, quite double, and the colour rich orange-scarlet. 

 It is one of the finest double scarlet Tulips in cultivation. 



To Alpine Auricula 'Leonora' (votes, unanimous), from Mr. C. 

 Turner, Slough. A pretty variety with well-formed petals ; colour violet 

 deepening to purple, with a distinct white eye. 



To Borecole ' Albino ' (votes, 11 for, 5 against), from Messrs. Storrie & 

 Storrie, Dundee. A pretty plant for those who like ornamental Scotch 

 Kales, differing from the ordinary forms in retaining its ornamental 

 character as the flowering stems develop. It is said to be constant in 

 character, and is quite as hardy as the green-leaved kitchen Kales. 



Other Exhibits. 



Colonel Brymer, Ilsington House, Dorchester, sent a remarkably fine 

 truss of Rhododendron Nuttallii. 



The Countess of Pembroke, Wilton House, Salisbury (gr. Mr. T. 

 Challis), sent an unnamed Datura, bearing a bluish-lilac blossom, grown 

 from seed sent home from the Transvaal— probably D. glabra. 



The Duchess of Cleveland, Battle Abbey (gr. Mr. Camm), sent flowers 

 of the Buckbean — Menyanthes trifoliata. 



J. H. Buxton, Esq., Hunsdon Bury, Ware, sent Carnation ' Mrs. J. H. 

 Buxton.' The Committee asked to see a plant in flower.
