pleasing contrast. The lanceolate foliage resembles that of C. JacTc- 

 manii. It is a very strong-growing plant and produces its blooms 

 abundantly. (Fig. 122.) 



To NepliTolepis exaltata Rochfordii (votes, 8 for, 3 against), from 

 Messrs. Eochford, Broxbourne. The pinnae are so much divided and 

 sub-divided that the fronds assume a dense mossy appearance. They 

 are of a lovely pale-green colour. 



To Phlox Arendsii (strain) (votes, unanimous), from G. Arends, 

 Ronsdorf, Germany. A remarkable strain of Phloxes obtained as the 

 result o'f a cross between P. decussata and a hybrid from P. cana- 

 deiisis and P. Laphamii. The flowers vary in colour from white to 

 rose and pale violet and the stems are very stiff and wiry. The plants 

 grow to the height of 2 feet and are strong and free growers and flower 

 much in advance of P. decussata. (Fig. 114.) 



To Rose * Ethel ' (votes, 10 for, 5 against), from Mr, 0. Turner, 

 Slough. A charming Wichuraiana hybrid climber with numerous 

 large trusses of semi-double rosy-pink flowers shading to white in the 

 centre. 



To Rose * Mrs. Charles S. Hunting ' (votes, unanimous), from 

 Messrs. Hugh Dickson, Belfast. A charming H. T. of good sub- 

 stance and of a cadmium yellow colour. The flowers are of beautiful 

 shape and form, and this variety is no doubt one of the best of the 

 Hybrid Teas. 



Botanical Certificate. 



To Deinanthe coerulea (votes, unanimous), from Miss Willmott, 

 Y.M.H. (gr. Mr. 0. Fielder, Y.M.H.), Warley Place, Great Warley. 

 This is a new Chinese plant introduced by Mr. E. H. Wilson, V.M.H., 

 having large, ovate, serrate leaves and pale violet flowers, resembling 

 those of the Hydrangea somewhat in structure. It is said that the 

 plant is often cut down by the frost early in the year, but it always 

 grows and flowers again in spite of this.
