To Dahlia 'Rev. Arthur Bridge' (votes, 11 for, 2 against), from 

 Messrs. Stredwick. An exhibition Cactus variety ; the outer florets rose- 

 pink, tipped yellow ; inner florets bright yellow, a little touched with pink. 



To Tritonia (Montbretia) ' King Edmund ' (votes, 15 for, 6 against). 

 Orange, a little crimson at the throat, strong-branching, vigorous, early. 



To Tritonia 'Lady Hamilton' (votes, unanimous). Orange, with a 

 shading of deeper orange, later than the preceding. 



To Tritonia ' Lord Nelson ' (votes, unanimous). Reddish -orange, with 

 a small clear yellow centre, quite red outside, dark stems. This variety 

 takes after T. Pottsii in failing to fully expand its flowers. 



These fine hybrid Montbretias from Major Petre, Norwich, were raised 

 by his gardener, Mr. George Davison. In size of flower and richness of 

 colour they are not superior to the varieties ' Germania,' ' George Davison,' 

 and 'Prometheus,' already certificated, but their vigorous branching habit 

 renders them valuable additions to the flower borders.
