names. For a new or rare plant there was a good entry. Mr. C. 
and Sons, Bath, and Mr. J. Mattock, Oxford, taking the remaining prizes, 
in each class. Messrs. Keynes, Williams, & Co., Salisbury, won with> 
twenty-four Show Dahlias, and also for twelve Fancy ditto and twelve 
bunches of Pompons. The same firm staged a grand box of their new 
varieties of Cactus Dahlias, not for competition. There were many 
Rickman, gardener to G. L. Palmer, Esq., won with Cypripedium 
Charlesworthi.

ten dishes Mr. W. Strugnell secured the first prize with well-finished 
Alicante and Muscat of Alexandria Grapes, Sutton’s A1 and Blenheim 
1 Orange Melons, Pineapple Nectarines, Bellegarde and Dymond Peaches,
