Award of Merit. 



To Freesia ' Merry Widow ' (votes 16 for, 2 against), from Rev. J. Jacob, 

 Whitchurch, Salop. A very large-flowered variety. The ground colour is white 

 suffused with pale violet-lilac. The latter colour is also seen in the lines in 

 the throat, and there is a patch of golden yellow on the lower segment of the 

 flower. It is said to be a tall-growing variety and excellent as a pot plant. 



To Freesia ' Rose Beauty ' (votes unanimous), from Rev. J. Jacob, Whit- 

 church, Salop. A dainty variety of a very deep rose-pink colour. The white 

 throat is lined with rose and the lower segment of the flower has a touch of 

 gold when first opened. This variety is a great advance in colour. 



To Primula malacoides 'Princess Patricia' (votes 20 for), from Messrs. 

 Carter, Raynes Park. This variety of Primula malacoides is of good habit and 

 very free- flowering. The flowers are rosy-mauve in colour and three-quarters of 

 an inch or more in diameter.
