Award of Merit. 
To Auricula ' Edith ' (votes 12 for), from Mr. C. Turner, Slough. 
A distinct pale violet-lilac variety. The flowers are perfect in form, 
large, and have a well-defined pale sulphur-yellow paste. 
To Carnation ' J. G. Fortescue ' (votes 17 for, 1 against), from 
J. B. Fortescue, Esq., Maidenhead. This is a Malmaison variety, 
which originated as a sport from 1 Horace Hutchinson.' The flowers 
are large, very full, and of good shape. The colour is white, streaked 
with red. One of the most pleasing features of this variety is its 
delicious scent. 
To Daphne Verloiii (votes 9 for), from Messrs. Waterer, Sons, & 
Crisp, Bagshot. An evergreen dwarf shrub bearing heads of rich 
rosy pink, fragrant flowers, less numerous and less densely packed 
than those of D. Cneorum. 
To Pyrus Malus aldenhamensis (votes 14 for), from Hon. Vicary 
Gibbs (gr. Mr. E. Beckett, V.M.H.), Elstree. This is a very striking 
dark reddish violet variety of Pyrus Malus, and is probably of garden 
origin. It is closely allied to P. Niedzwetzkyana, but is said to be 
superior to it in colour and in the lasting of the flowers. It also 
flowers later. The fruits much resemble those of Prunus Pissardii. 
To Rose ' C. E. Shea' (votes 13 for, 4 against), from Mr. E. J. 
Hicks, Twyford. A deep rosy pink Hybrid Tea variety of good form 
and size.

bright rose flowers having a yellow eye. The flowers are borne about 
4 inches above the foliage.

Mrs. Lloyd Edwards, Llangollen. A very free-flowering variety of 
the Mossy section, bearing on dark stems large rose-coloured flowers 
streaked with a deeper shade. The height of the plants is about 
8 inches.
