Award of Merit. 



To Freesia ' Bartley Mauve ' (votes 21 for), from Mr. H. Dalrymple, Bartley, 

 Southampton. A large- flowered, sweetly scented, violet-mauve variety of 

 excellent form. 



To Freesia ' Bartley Rose ' (votes 19 for, 3 against), from Mr. H. Dalrymple, 

 Bartley, Southampton. The flowers of this variety are large and of a rosy-mauve 

 colour, which also runs in lines into the white tube. 



To Freesia ' Goldfinch ' (votes unanimous), from Mr. H. Dalrymple, Bartley, 

 Southampton. A beautiful golden-yellow variety with a deep orange blotch 

 on the lower segment. The flowers are of good size and sweetly scented. 



To Primula ' Wanda ' (votes 12 for), from Messrs. Baker, Codsall. This 

 hybrid Primula is the result of a cross between Primula Juliae and a crimson 

 form of the common Primrose (P. acaulis). The plant has a neat and robust 

 habit and the leaves are rounder and somewhat shorter than those of P. acaulis. 

 The flowers which are borne in great abundance, are of a bright purplish-crimson 

 colour with a golden eye, and they are of large size. This is the most striking 

 of the many hybrids resulting from this cross so far exhibited. 



Cultural Commendation.
