 finely hlniwn in the f(»rt^rH»und. 



Mr. E. J. Hicks, Burnt, lierk^, put up a 

 bank of climbing and rambling rones in the 

 orchid annexe, and made a very pretty exhibit 

 with Claire Jacquier, Jean Giuchard. Trier, 

 Alberic liarbier. Aglaia, El centra, Harr:«on, 

 etc. Mr. G. Prince. Longworth, Berks, ex- 

 hibited rambling and garden roses in the 

 fruit anexe, but the ]K)sition was not a good 

 one, and the flowers were crowded; W. A. 

 Richardson, Mdme. Abel Carriere, and Grusi^ 

 an Zabern were three varieties effectively 

 staged. Messrs. Paul and Son, Chcshunt, dis- 

 played garden roses, among which the old 

 Black Moss, Shower of Gold, Gerbe Rose, 

 Sinica, and Austrian Yellow were notable. 

 Messrs. Wm. Cutbush and Bon, Highgate, pre- 

 sented a h(M group of palms, crotons, and 

 dracaenae, these forming a background for 

 fine examples of such handsome h^'drangeas 

 as Mdme. E. Mouilliere. I>a Perle, Monsieur 

 Ghys, the pink Pres. Viger, and General de 

 Vibrave. A very pretty group from Mr. L. R. 

 Russell, Richmond, consisted of graceful 

 Japanese maples, cytisus. etc., as a back- 

 ground to a eloping face of rockwork, well 

 filled with dianthuses, iberis, sedums, cam- 

 panulas, and other alpine and dwarf herba- 

 ci'ous plants. M(*ssrs. R. H. Bath, Lim., 

 Wisl>ech. had a very bright exhibit of 

 pawmies, delphiniums. Spanish irises, pyre- 

 thrums, among the latter Louis Figuer, 

 Hampton, Toreador, Persimmon, and Mrs. 

 K. F. Carron were excellent. A little group 

 dwarf yellow and red-])rown calceolarias, 

 v.irictv named Tortoiseshell struck us as 

 remarkably gm^d bedding plant. 



1 . Hobbs, gardener to Vivian Phillips, 

 Esq., Crofton Court, Orpington, displayed a 

 inatrnificent lot of herbaceous calceolarias; 



* v-cre not exceptionally large, but 

 vvred, and the individual bloomg

 ing four inclit»s in width. llie range of 

 colouring, loo, wa>^ s,plendid — ^indeed, the 

 w-holc exhibit was of h gh quality.
