 showing a mass of compact racemes. 80 per cent, double. 1 ft. 



Viola, extra choice mixed. — Of no special merit. 



Mr. James Hudson, V.M.H., sent; Salvia splendens ' Zurich,' a 

 dwarf variety blooming profusely in poor soil ; flowers scarlet. 1 ft. 

 XXX September 14, 1906. 



Mr. F. Eoemer, of Quedlinburg, Germany, sent strains of Viola tricolor 

 maxima. 



Giant Crown Prince was especially good, with 90 per cent, of very 

 dark teonze-black flowers. 



* Volcano ' was also good ; flowers of various shades of bronze. 



Samuel A. M. Satow, Esq., sent seeds of Chinese asters and marigolds 

 received by him from Pekin ; but the strains proved inferior to many 

 already in commerce. 



Messrs. Sutton i^- Sons, Reading, sent Sutton's strain of Nicotiana 

 Sanderc? liyhrida in various shades of colour. The red small-flowered 

 variety proved true to name ; but other shades, though including some 

 very good large-flowered individual specimens, showed rather a large 

 percentage of whites.
