A ward of Merit, 
To Chrysanthemum ' Majestic ' (votes 14 for), from Mr. N. Davis, Framfield. 
A golden amber Japanese exhibition variety with broad, slightly incurved florets. 
To Chrysanthemum ' Mrs, George Monro ' (votes 15 for), from Mr. N. Davis, 
Framfield. A large-flowered Japanese variety with broad, slightly curled 
florets. The colour is a rich crimson with a buff reverse. 
To Chrysanthemum ' Sorcerer ' (votes 16 for), from Messrs. Luxford, Harlow. 
A medium-sized Japanese variety which will probably become popular for market 
work. Its colour is light chestnut- bronze tipped with dull gold. 
To Clematis tangutica var. obtusiuscula Rehd. and Wils. (votes unanimous), 
from R.H.S. Gardens, Wisley. The Floral Sub-Committee recommended an 
A.M. to this plant as growing at Wisley on September 23, 1920. The variety 
has more obtuse sepals and a rounder flower than the type, which is nearly allied 
to C. orientalis. It flowers profusely from June to October, and its yellow flowers 
solitary on 5 or 6 inch pedicels are very showy. It is perfectly hardy at Wisley, 
and was collected by Purdom in W. Kansu. Farrer also sent home seed, but the 
plants raised^appear to be somewhat smaller flowered and less vigorous. 
To-Euonymus europaeus intermedins (votes unanimous), from S. Morris, Esq., 
Norwich. This highly ornamental variety is chiefly valuable on account of 
its particularly free-fruiting habit. The fruits are bright in colour, but otherwise 
similar to those of the type. 
The awards recommended to Michaelmas Daisies at Wisley by the Sub- 
Committee were confirmed (see p. 368).

dark-crimson colour shaded with purple. 
To Cotoneaster frigida Vicarii (votes unanimous), from Hon. Vicary Gibbs 
(gr. Mr. E. Beckett, V.M.H.), Elstree. This is a very fine variety of the well- 
knawn Cotoneaster frigida, and it is said to be magnificent in tree form. The 
berries are larger and of a brighter red than those of the type. The lanceolate 
leaves are deep green above and grey below.
