HOETICULTUEAL AEFAIES. 
OYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. — Floral Committee, October 1, 
. — The number of novelties was small ; the meeting was, nevertheless, 
considering the lateness of the season, of a most interesting character. 
Prizes were offered for six pots of Autumn Crocuses. Mr. Parker, of 
Tooting, staged fine masses of Colchicum autumnale, white ; C. au- 
tumnale pallidum, blush- white ; C. autumnale variegatum, the flowers striped 
purple on a lilac ground ; C. byzantinum, flowers pale lilac, large ; C. byzantinum 
maximum, a fine form of the preceding, with flowers of large size and deep colour. 
Mr. Parker also exhibited a dwarf Chrysanthemum, with medium-sized flowers of 
a blush-white shading to pale lilac, which appears to be useful for decorative pur- 
poses early in the season. Mr. Parker also exhibited a very interesting group of 
herbaceous plants in pots, and as cut specimens, including Aster amellus, a fine 
dwarf species, with showy purplish-blue flowers ; Aster discolor, a dense-growing 
species, with small white and lilac flowers ; Tritoma uvaria glaucescens, a very 
dwarf-growing and desirable form of this well-known species ; and cut specimens 
of Eudbeckia Newmanni, a showy yelloW-flowered species ; Helianthus mnltiflorns, 
a fine species with large yellow flow’ers ; and Delphinium Prince of Wales, a fine 
variety with light blue flowers ; and D. Nahamah, a desirable variety with dark 
blue flowers. Mr. Coulter, gardener, Haydn Hall, Eastcote, exhibited a well- 
flowered specimen of Eucharis amazonica. Mr. Strahan, gardener, Waddon Hall, 
Croydon, a variegated variety of Ccelogync cristata. M_r. Wimsett, Ashbumham 
Park Nurseries, Chelsea, contributed an interesting collection of new plants, com- 
prising Crotons, Palms, Aralias, and other suhject.s of a similar character ; and from 
the Society’s Gardens at Chiswick came two fine specimens of the beautiful
