MISCELLANEOUS SPRING-FLOWERING PLANTS. 
The above photograph illustrates the beds and lawn adjacent to the Royal Pavilion in the grounds of the Royal Agricultural Society's Show held at Norwich 
m June last. We were honoured with instructions from the Society to carry out the entire floral decorations both of the interior and exterior of the Royal 
Pavilion, and received a special Large Silver Medal from the Society as well as an expression of approval from His Majesty King George, conveyed through 
the Acting President, Sir Ailwyn E. Fellowes, K.C.V.O. 
The large bed was designed by us in the shape of an Imperial Crown in honour of the Coronation and of His Majesty's Presidency of the Show. Many 
thousands of plants were used including 750 pots of Lilium Longiflorum, 150 large plants Scarlet Rhododendrons (Dr. Hogg), 250 Golden Euonymus , 50 White 
Dorothy Perkins Climbing Roses 2,000 plants White and Purple Violas, as well as a large quantity of Verbena Stocks, Calceolarias, Golden Privet, etc. 
Everything used was tn full growth and planted in the bed, which retained its beauty for nearly a fortnight, and was much admired by thousands of visitors 
and admitted on all hands to be one of the features of the Show. We also received the Societies Gold Medal for our Exhibits in the Horticultural Tents.
