 pendulous plant, of shrubby habit, from Costa Rica, bearing numbers

 (Fig. 206.) 



Award of Merit. 



To Begonia ' Syros ' (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. J. Veitch, 

 Chelsea. A very beautiful winter-flowering hybrid obtained as the 

 result of a cross between a single copper tuberous variety and 

 B. socotrana. The large flowers are borne very freely and measure 2 J 

 inches across. They are orange-salmon in colour, and are said to last 

 on the plant for a longer period than is usual with this race of plants. 

 The foliage is very distinct, being dark green, pointed and serrated. 

 The plant is a fairly strong grower and is of dwarf habit. 



To Chrysanthemum 'Mary Morris* (votes, 13 for, 4 against), 

 from Mr. T. Stevenson, Addlestone. An excellent single variety, 

 measuring 4 inches in diameter. The flowers are dull terra-cotta in 

 colour, and are borne with wonderful freedom. The plant exhibited 

 was about 3 feet tall and some of its sprays had not been disbudded 

 in order that the natural character of the variety might be seen.
