Pelargoniums. — Seedlings of 1847.—A first prize was awarded to 
Mr. Beck, of Isleworth, for a seedling named Delicatissima, a flower of 
good form and substance ; the centre of the flov 7 er is w r hite with bright 
pink under-petals, and a blotch of deep rose colour on each. The top 
petals are deep maroon w r ith a narrow margin of rose. The same 
to Messrs. Veitch and Son for a plant of a high-coloured variety, 
shewn last year, named Topping’s Brilliant, a large flower, which, 
having in its general colour an approach to scarlet, renders it shewy 
and attractive. A certificate to Mr. Ambrose for a specimen of a 
fancy Pelargonium, named Jenny Lind, a neatly formed flower, and 
one of the prettiest contribution to its class. Mr. Dobson, of Isle- 
worth, also received a certificate for a seedling of the present season, 
named Harlequin, pretty in colour and curious in outline, each petal 
having the appearance of being fancifully cut out. Two seedling 
Calceolarias were selected by the judges; they were both from 
Mr. Kinghorn ,• first, Delicata, spotted with rich brown upon a 
delicate yellow ground; the Maid of Orleans, having crimson spots 
upon a primrose ground: both flowers of good form.
