FLOEAL COMMITTEE, NOVEMBER 4. 



ccxxxi 



Botanical Certificate. 

 To Nerine flexuosa alba (votes, unanimous) from Messrs. Barr, Covent 

 Garden. This differs from the type by reason of its flowers being pure 

 white. 



Other Exhibits. 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., Burford, Dorking (gr. Mr. W. Bain) sent 

 Polygonum molle, a Himalayan species, and some peculiarly crested and 

 fringed Begonia flowers. 



The Hon. W. F. D. Smith, M.P., Greenlands, Henley-on-Thames (gr. 

 Mr. H. Perkins), sent Chrysanthemums. 



J. T. Bennett-Poe, Esq., Holmewood, Cheshunt (gr. Mr. Downes) sent 

 Nerine 1 Mrs. Harrison,' a variety with large richly coloured flowers. 



H. Southall, Esq., The Craig, Ross, Herefordshire (gr. Mr. Da vies), 

 sent Aster 'Miss Southall.' The Committee requested that a plant might 

 be sent to Chiswick. 



From Mrs. Dennison, Little Gaddesden, Berkhamsted (gr. Mr. A. G. 

 Gentle) came a collection of Michaelmas Daisies. 



Miss E. Somers, Sparrows Herne, Bushy, Herts (gr. Mr. Cooper), sent 

 a small group of Chrysanthemums. 



Hugh Kerr, Esq., Ard-Gowan, South Woodford (gr. Mr. Dunkley),

From D. C. Guthrie, Esq., East Haddon Hall, Northampton (gr. Mr. 

 H. Trueman), came Begonia ' Mrs. D. C. Guthrie,' said to be a sport 

 from ' Gloire de Lorraine.' The plants submitted had tuberous roots, 

 and the large rose-pink flowers, which are borne freely, are also suggestive 

 of a tuberous variety. The Committee asked to see this again. 



Messrs. Bunyard, Maidstone, sent Bigeloiuia graveolens. 



Mr. Sawyer, Hounslow, sent Decorative Chrysanthemums. 



Messrs. Peed, West Norwood, sent foliage and flowering plants.
