EXTRACTS OF PROCEEDINGS. lxXXVii 



square feet. Messrs. H. Cannell & Sons, of Swanley, had two 

 fine groups of single and double varieties, the colours of which 

 passed from pure white through pink, salmon, deep rose and 

 purple into golden yellow. 



The collection of Messrs. J. Laing & Sons, Forest Hill, was 

 equally resplendent in all the subtle variety of colour tints, and 

 the flowers were as large and remarkable for substance and good 

 form as those of Messrs. Cannell. 



Calceolarias. 



Sir Chas. Piggott, Bart, (gardener, Mr. J. Ford), contributed 

 some fine specimens. 



Messrs. J. Carter & Co., Holborn, had a good group of highly 

 coloured flowers belonging to the Victoria and Japanese strains. 



From Messrs. J. James & Son, Farnham Royal, Slough, 

 came a collection of very dwarf plants, bearing good flowers. 



Messrs. Peed & Sons, Eoupell Park, also staged a select 

 group of these plants. 



Pelargoniums. 



Mr. C. Turner, Slough, staged an effective group in which 

 many fine varieties were represented. 



Mr. D. Baldwin, Hillingdon Heath, sent twelve fine varieties, 

 and Mr. Bupert Miller, Shoreham, contributed two boxes of cut 

 blooms, among which a new form known as Pearl was con- 

 spicuous by its large trusses of pure white flowers. 



Azaleas. 



These were not shown by themselves to any great extent, 

 although many beautiful specimens were to be seen here and 

 there, intermingled with various plants in other groups, to the 

 arrangement of which they added great effect. The charming 

 group of well-flowered Azalea indica and varieties, neatly 

 arranged with Ferns, contributed to Mr. C. Turner, of Slough, 

 however, deserves to be specially mentioned on account of the 

 fine strong plants, which bore an enormous quantity of blooms. 



Miscellaneous Groups. 

 There were many of these dotted throughout the exhibition. 

 Taking the exhibitors in alphabetical sequence, we noticed that 

 Mr. J. Balchin, Hassocks, had an effective group of the deep blue 

 Leschenaultia biloba major (fig. 66), covering a space of about 40 

 square feet.
