 South Kensington. 



Coming now to the Classes for Amateurs, I have to say what splendid flowers Mr. J. T. 

 Hedge, of Colchester, produced at both Exhibitions. Tie is confessedly, judging from what 

 has been seen at the shows, the best amateur Rose-exhibitor we have; and not only are his 

 flowers of more than average excellence, but their arrangement is neat and tasteful, and his 

 method of naming his flowers is well worthy general adoption.

 chester, was first ; second, Mr. W. Ingle ; third, Mr. W. Corp, of Salisbury ; fourth, Mr.
