To Rhododendron Abbeyi (votes, 21 for), from Dr. Stocker, Avery

late delicate pink flowers, veined and suffused with rose on the exterior of 
the petals. 
To Arabis albida plena (votes, 16 for, 4 against) from Mr. Amos 
Perry, Winchmore Hill ; ^Messrs. Wallace, Colchester ; Messrs. Paul & 
Son, Cheshunt. A very pretty, hardy, dwarf, free-flowering plant with 
rich green evergreen foliage and rather slender, erect racemes of double 
pure- white flowers. This is a useful spring bedding plant. 
To Mertensia virginica rubra (votes, 10 for), from Mr. A. Perry, 
Winchmore Hill. The growth and general habit of the plant are similar 
to those of the type, and the terminal clusters of bright rose-pink flowers 
are borne in great abundance. 
To Auricula 'Celtic' (votes, 12 for, 5 against), from Messrs. Barr, 
Covent Garden. A free-flowering border variety with sweet-scented 
rich yellow flowers. 
To Saxifraga aretioides primulina (votes, 14 for), from Mr. E. H. 
Jenkins, Queen's Road, Hampton Hill. This is a very dwarf and 
exceedingly beautiful moss -like Saxifraga, probably the result of a cross 
between S. apiculata and S. aretioides. It has small glaucous leaves 
and bears a great profusion of delicate sulphur-yellow flowers on stalks 
three inches high. The plant is slow ingrowth, and the one exhibited is 
perhaps the finest specimen in the country, as it carried about a hundred 
flower spikes, each of which bore from three to five flowers and unopened 
buds. 
To Petunia ' Charlotte ' (votes, 14 for, 5 against) from Mr. P. Erselius, 
Church Lane, Romford. A very fine variety with large, well-formed, 
double white flowers with a faint suspicion of green in the centre. The 
plant is of excellent habit. 
To Canna ' Secretaire Chabanne ' ( votes, unanimous), from Messrs. 
Cannell, Swanley. A dwarf floriferous variety with great trusses of 
bright orange flowers. 
Cultural Commendatio7i. 
To Mr. Jas. Hudson, V. M. H., gardener to Leopold de Rothschild, Esq., 
Gunnersbury House, Acton, for magnificent flowers of Nymphiea stellata.
