Exhibits. 



G. Comber, Esq., Eowley Brow, Knutsford, Cheshire, sent a fern 

 for naming which the Committee considered to be a good congested 

 form of Lastrea dilatata. 



Mr. A. Hilton, Worthing: Pelargonium ' The Chancellor.' 



The Lady Mabel Kenyon-Slaney, Hatton Grange, Shifnal, sent a 

 decorative Carnation named ' Bodolph. ' The flower is somewhat small, 

 but has the merit of never bursting its calyx. The colour is that of 

 the ' Old Clove,' and it has much of its beautiful scent. It is no doubt 

 an excellent variety for decorative work, and a free bloomer. 



Mr. A. Langley Smith, Catford : hybrid scented-leaved Pelar- 

 goniums.
