CXXXVi PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Among the selfs and fancies were some of the most beautiful 

 and valued of Carnations and Picotees. In the class for twenty- 

 four Mr. Turner secured the first place with the following : 

 Almira, Victory, Hutchinson's Rose, Mrs. Reynolds Hole, Alice 

 Ayres, Annie Douglas, Lord Rendlesham, Ruby, Chas. Turner, 

 Fimbriata alba, Germania, Duchess of Fife, Robt. Houlgrave, 

 Mrs. Maclaren, and two seedlings. Mr. F. Hooper was second 

 with a delightful stand, but some of the flowers were undersized 

 and others imperfectly filled. Mr. Douglas was third with a 

 large proportion of selfs, Mr. Catley fourth, and Mr. W. H. 

 Divers, gardener to J. T. Hopwood, Esq., Ketton Hall, Stam- 

 ford, fifth. 



There were eight stands of twelve, and they produced a 

 lovely display. Mr. Rowan was first with a splendid col- 

 lection. The varieties were Purple Emperor (a grand bloom), 

 Comtesse de Paris, Mrs. Reynolds Hole, Vice-President, Edith, 

 Rose Celestial, President, Dodwell's No. 614, Mile. Darquille, Mrs. 

 Du Croz, Prince of Wales, and Lady Agnes. Mr. Nutt was a 

 good second with a very attractive stand, the blooms being large, 

 fresh, and finely coloured. Mr. Phillips was third, Mr. Chaundy 

 fourth, Mr. Headland fifth, and Mr. Sanders sixth. 



The premier Carnation was H. Cannell, a scarlet flake in Mr. 

 J. Keen's second prize stand of twelve, and the premier Picotee 

 was Madeline, heavy rose edge, in Mr. Turner's first prize stand 

 of twenty-four.
