 about 3^ inches across, of perfect shape, and of a deep orange colour, 

 with a red ring in the centre. The plants were exceptionally vigorous, 

 and the inflorescence very large and branching. 



To Sambueus canadensis (votes, unanimous), from Sir Trevor Lawrence, 

 Bart., Dorking, and Messrs. J. Veitch, Chelsea. This variety is remark- 

 able for its immense "heads " of white flowers, free from the usual dis- 

 agreeable Elder odour. The foliage is large, much divided, and very 

 handsome. A useful shrub for the wild garden, or shrubbery.

 Prichard, Christchurch. A beautiful white-flowered form of this pretty 

 rock plant, with all the dwarfish and free-flowering properties of the

 shrubby Spira?a, growing into a large bush, with foliage very similar to 

 S. Lindleyana. and a beautiful inflorescence of white flowers. A good, 

 vigorous grower. 



To Berberis vulgaris foliis purpureis macrophylla (votes, 7 for, 2 

 against), from Messrs. Paul, Cheshunt. A very deeply coloured form of 

 B. vulgaris, which should be useful for effect in the shrubbery. 



To Buddleia variabilis magnified (votes, 15 for, 1 against). A truly 

 magnificent variety, the inflorescence being over two feet long, and the 

 colour a pinkish red, with a shade of light blue. It was stated that this 

 is a more vigorous form than the type, and that the finest flowers are 

 produced from plants that are severely pruned. From China.
