Award of Merit. 



To Campanula kolenatiana (votes 12 for, 5 against), from Messrs. Tucker, 

 Oxford. A very useful Campanula of extremely free-flowering habit, growing 

 about 1 foot high. The pale violet-blue open bells, about 1 inch in diameter 

 with recurving lobes, are borne four or five on a reddish brown hispid wiry 

 stem. The plant is bushy and compact and carries a large number of flowers 

 at a time. 



To Campanula ' Phyllis Elliott ' (votes 16 for), from Mr. C. Elliott, Stevenage. 

 This is a very pretty hybrid Campanula resulting from a cross between C. excisa 

 and C. arvatica. The deeply lobed, deep violet-purple flowers about f inch in 

 diameter are borne erect on wiry stems about 4 inches high. 



To Escallonia x edinensis (votes unanimous), from Messrs. G. Paul, Cheshunt. 

 This beautiful hybrid shrub was raised at Edinburgh Botanic Garden as the 

 result of a cross between E. Philippiana and E. punctata — the same cross as 

 gave rise to E. x langleyensis. The flowers are rose-pink and are borne all along 

 the arching branches. They open a little later than those of E. X langleyensis. 

 The leaves are small, dark green and shiny.
