ROYAL BOTANIC SOCIETY. 
May 17Tn. 
The summer Exhibition of the Royal Botanic Society was held in 
the Gardens at Regent’s Park on Wednesday, May 17th. The Show was 
not quite so large as usual, but it was of a bright and diversified 
character although the weather was showery. The groups of plants, 
tastefully arranged, made a charming feature, as likewise did the collec¬ 
tions of Roses staged by various growers. Azaleas were, as usual at 
this Show, very fine, and the same may be said of the Fancy Pelar¬ 
goniums. Begonias and Calceolarias, too, were conspicuously shown, as 
also were hardy flowers and specimen plants. Appended are the names 
of the prizewinners in the competitive classes, also the other awards 
made for the various exhibits. 
In the open class for twelve stove and greenhouse plants in flower, 
Mr. J. F. Mould, Pewsey, Wilts, was first. This exhibitor staged the 
same plants apparently as were shown by him at Earl’s Court a few 
days previous. They were fine specimens, and reflected credit on the 
grower. Mr. Mould was also first for six stove and greenhouse plants 
in flower, which included a fine Ixora Dixiana, and other grand 
examples. Mr. Henry James, Castle Nursery, West Norwood, secured 
the second prize, showing smaller but well flowered plants. Mr.

flowered. Mr. R. Scott, gardener to Miss Foster, The Holmes, Regent’s 
Park, was first in the amateurs’ class for six plants, showing well-

was second with larger plants, but not so densely flowered. Mr. H. 
Eason, gardener to B. Noakes, Esq, Hope Cottage, Highgate, secured

smaller but grandly flowered plants. Messrs. Paul & Sons, Cheshunt,

prise,” and these well merited the certificate awarded. Messrs. J. Carter

included a fine variety named Gloriosa. A certificate was awarded for 
this variety, and a bronze medal was adjudged for the whole exhibit.
