question of,MM. Veitch and Williams, wen they saw here the Bertolonia Van 
Houttei , raised from seed last year in this, §>r once, fortunate nursery. — Before 
parting however with any of these plants, I intend showing them in the opening of 
this season in the principal exhibitions of Gr&at-Britain and Ireland in order to let the 
public see and judge for themselves of the extraordinary success achieved. At the Lille, 
Tournay and Antwerp Exhibitions, as well as here at Ghent, it has been awarded with 
gold medals, while at the Brussels Show, it; was crowned with a double gold medal;

sent to London for exhibition, one to the Regent’s Park Garden, the other to the 
South Kensington Horticultural Society, apd we shall hear next week, from the 
reporters of the London Horticultural pres$, what impresssion the plant has made.
