exhibited by Mr. Wm. Paul: amongst them, Eugene Appert, intense 
glowing crimson—Madame William, fine Tea—Baron Gonella, large 
Bourbon—Homere, mottled Rose, Tea—Triomphe de Lyons (H.P.), 
fine crimson—Buff (H.P.), dark red—President, fine Tea—Victor 
Verdier—Empereur de Maroc, very dark—Cardinal Patrizzi, very 
dark. 
The Pelargoniums were remarkable, especially taking into account 
the dull and sunless time that we have had. Mr. Turner, of Slough, 
was, as usual, first in both large kinds and fancies ; Messrs. Dobson & 
Son, of Isleworth, second. Mr. T.’s plants were Mr. Marnock, Desde- 
mona, Rose Celestial, Candidate, Roseum, Guillaume Severyns, Ad¬ 
mirable, Governor-General,‘Fairest of the Fair, and Prince of Wales. 
They were beautifully arranged as to effect, and the lilac tint of the 
French one, Guillaume Severyns, had a very fine effect as a contrast. 
Messrs. Dobson’s were Admirable, Sanspareil (an old but fine spotted 
variety), Rosalie, Fairest of the Fair, Eugene Duval, Rose Celestial, 
Una, Symmetry, Aurelia, and Fair Ellen. Fancies in 8 varieties were, 
in Mr. Turner’s collection,, Modestum, Madame Rougiere, Lady 
Craven, Cloth of Silver, Circle, Celestial, Queen of the Valley, and Acme. 
The plants of Celestial and Acme were perfect models of growth. 
Messrs. Dobson’s were Madame Rougiere, Negro, Captivation, Evening 
Star, Madame Van de Weyer, Attraction, and Bridesmaid. 
In Cinerarias, in groups of 6, Mr. Turner was first with Bellissima, 
Alarm, Slough Rival, Perfect, Lidgard’s Brilliant, and Queen Victoria. 
Messrs. Dobson & Son were second, with Duchess of Sutherland, 
Brilliant, Perfection, Mrs. Hoyle, Masterpiece, and Mr. Marnock. Mr. 
Burley, of Limpsfield, Surrey, was third, with Mrs. Dix, Miss Godfrey, 
Perfecta, Beauty, Wonderful, and Perfection. Mr. Fry, of Bromley, 
fourth. One of the most striking groups of plants exhibited was one of 
six shrubby Calceolarias, exhibited by Mr. Burley, of Limpsfield, very 
large in size, and approaching somewhat the herbaceous ones in colour¬ 
ing; their names were Lord Raglan, Emperor, Primrose Perfection, 
Victor Emmanuel, General Havelock, and Lord Derby. Mr. B. is 
evidently on a strain of flowers which cannot fail to be generally popular 
and profitable to himself. He also exhibited some cut blooms of a 
dwarf bedding variety, angustifolia globosa, very bright yellow, and said 
to be very dwarf. 
Cut flowers, with the exception of Roses, already noticed, were con¬ 
fined to Tulips and Pansies ; in the former four stands were exhibited, 
the best being that of Mr. Turner, of Slough, utterly disproving what we 
have heard alleged against the Slough Tulips that they were coarse— 
nothing could be cleaner than the strains were, and one or two of his 
own and Mr. Headly’s flowers were exquisite; they were Royal 
Sovereign, Rosa blanca, Fleur de Marie, Aglaia, Lady Wildair, Sir C. 
Campbell,- Duchess of Cambridge, Mary Headly, Claude, Sarah 
Headly, King, George Glenny, Friend, Rose Celestial, Dr. Horner, 
Seedling 64 S, Rutley’s Queen, Enchantress, Duchess of Sutherland, 
Seedling C 29, and Gem of Gems. Mr. Betteridge was second; Eve- 
rard, George Hayward, Salvator Rosa, and Strong’s King were very 
fine. Mr. Norman, of Woolwich, was third. Mr. James Batten, 
Clapton, fourth.
