and Cyrtochilum maculatum. Mr. Carson, gardener to W. F. G. 
Farmer, Esq., sent a fine plant of Dendrobium nobile, also Vanda teres, 
a beautiful plant set on the top of a short tree stump, which was covered 
with Moss and Ferns. This had an excellent effect. The same

the way of Pierardi. 
The Roses in pots from Messrs. Paul and Lane were truly magni¬ 
ficent, A plant of Paul Perras more especially, from Messrs. Paul, 
was the admiration of everybody. It was a beautiful round bush, 
clothed with foliage of the most healthy description, and covered with 
flowers as regular in form and size as if they had each been cast in the 
same mould. There were also besides Paul Ricaut in charming 
condition, Madame Willermoz equally fine ; Aubernon, an old kind, 
but still a favourite ; Louis Odier; the universally admired Souvenir 
d’un Ami, with large delicate salmon pink blossoms ; Blairi No. 2, very 
loose and flimsy; and Chenedole, remarkably well coloured. Among 
Messrs. Lane’s plants, which were little inferior to those just named, 
were Prince Leon, a fine full-flowered crimson variety ; Paul Perras, 
Baronne Prevost, Triomphe de Paris, Duchess of Sutherland, Souvenir 
d’un Ami, Geant des Batailles, and Coupe d’Hebe. Among Mr. Terry’s

Bravy, Elise Sauvage, Bougere, and other pale yellow kinds.
