To Cupressus Lawsoniana Fletcheri (votes, 14 for), from Messrs. 

 Fletcher, Bros., Ottershaw Nursery, Chertsey. A very distinct sport 

 from the type, having a very dense, bushy, and erect habit of growth. 

 It branches freely and has greyish foliage. The specimens were about 

 18 inches high and admirably adapted for the rock garden. (Fig. 144.) 



To Meconopsis Delavayi (votes, unanimous), from the Regius 

 Keeper, Botanic Garden, Edinburgh. A charming plant, about 

 5 inches high, having large, solitary, pendent flowers of a deep violet- 

 purple colour. The big bunch of golden anthers forms a pleasing 

 contrast. The leaves are ovate-lanceolate, pale green above and 

 glaucous beneath. 



To Nephrolepis exaltata Willmottae (votes, unanimous), from 

 Messrs. May, Upper Edmonton. This fern received an Award of 

 Merit, November 5. 1912. It has very finely divided, densely plumose 

 fronds, and is more moss-like than N. exaltata Marshallii compacta.
