limb white ; with, it was tricolor splendens, iu the same way but less inflated, the red paler, and the 
limb suffused with green ; also Gardneriana, a sort in the way of ampullacea, with deep flesh-coloured 
tube, dark throat, and whitish limb. Messrs. J. and C. Lee, had a seedling Azalea indica named 
Symmetiy, a large smooth flower, of fine form and substance, good habit, the colom- a pale vermilion 
red; it promises to be a first-rate kind. Mr. E. G. Henderson, had some varieties of Campylia ho- 
losericea, of which those called oculata — dull crimson and lilac, with deep red eye, and roseo-alba — 
rosy Ulac with white eye, were the best. Messrs. Garraway and Co. sent Achimenes grandis, a cross 
between Leipmanni and longiflora, and having large deep purple flowers. 
Foremost in the large assemblage of fine exotic Orchids was the specimen of Camarotis purpm-ea, 
represented in our woodcut : this plant formed a flowery pyi-amid five feet in height, and had a most 
^ beautiful ajipearance. The large collections were shown by 
Mr. Mylam, gardener to S. Rucker, Esq. ; Mr. Blake, gar- 
dener to J. H. Schi'oder ; Esq. ; and Mr. WiUiams, gai-dener 
to C. B. Warner, Esq. In Mr. Mylam's group were fine 
plants of : — Odontogiossum citrosmum, with five racemes ; 
Aerides afiine and odoratum ; Vanda teres ; Saccolabiuni 
prajmorsum ; a dwarf Dendi-obium formosum, having seven 
bunches of bloom ; Cypripedium barbatum, with eleven 
flowers ; and several Cattleyas, of which Candida, violacea, 
and intermedia were the most uncommon. Mr. Blake had 
Aerides Scbi-oderi, a highly colom-ed variety, approaching 
maculosum, together with a good Saccolabium guttatum, 
and several other species of Aerides. In Mr. Williams's 
lot were plants of Coalogyne Lowii, and Epidendnim 
aurantiacum. The nurserymen's collections of fifteen were 
sent by Messrs. Veitch, RoUisson, and Dobson ; the former 
of whom had a Sobralia macrautha superba with fourteen 
fiowers, very gorgeous ; Lacsena bicolor, and Saccolabiuni 
prsemorsum. Messrs. Rollisson had a large Aerides odora- 
tum, and good plants of Dendi'obium formosum and mos- 
chatum, with Huntleya violacea. Among the smaller groups 
was a fine Stanhopea oculata, from Mr. Gerrie, which, 
besides a few expanded blooms, had twenty -three spikes 
in various stages of progress ; a rich-lipped Cattleya 
Mossise, from Mr. Franklin, gardener to Mrs. Lawrence ; 
and a fine specimen of Cattleya Mossise, a very deeply 
coloured variety, from Mr. Kinghorn. Mr. Carson had 
Odontogiossum grande, and a large Aerides odoratum 
ma jus. 
The Pelai-goniums were staged in very fine condition, 
and produced a grand display. A silent hint, however, 
was, we saw, conveyed to those who have clamoui'sd about 
showing Pelargoniums — and the mania has spread to 
other subjects — tmthoiit stakes. A year or two ago, Mr. Forster's plants were brought to exhibition 
expressly without supports, and were specially noticed and commended on that ground ; tliis year 
Mr. Forster's plants are tied up after the common plan which exliibitors find it necessary to 
foUow. Mr. Cock's plants again evinced remarkable growth. The contributors were Messrs. Cock, 
Black, Beck, Robinson, Gaines, Stains, and Bragg ; and the most remarkable plants we saw, 
were : — Star, Emily, Delicatissima, Pearl, GuHelma, Sikh, Centmion, Alonza, Constance, Gypsey 
Bride, Salamander. The fancy Pelargoniums were remarkably fine, especially the plants shown by 
Mr. Robinson, one of which we have sketched ; some of these plants were nearly four feet in di- 
ameter. We noted the most distinct and beautiful sorts in tliis part of the exhibition, as follows : — 
Madame MeiUez, Anais, Fahy Queen, Reine des Francais, Queen Superb, in Mr. Robinson's group ; 
Hero of Surrey, Reine des Francais, Orestes, in Mr. Gaines' ; Jenny Lind, Ibrahim Pacha, Defiance, 
in Mr. Ambrose's ; Jehu Superb, in Mr. Stains'. Several collections of the species of Pelargonium, 
and of Florist's Calceolarias were shown. Another good group of Amaryllises was sent by Messrs. 
Garraway and Co. ; and 2 boxes of very pretty English Iiises were from Mr. Salter of Hammersmith. 
The pot Roses were tolerably fresh, but inferior to those produced in May. The plants most remark-
