New and Bare Plants appeared in considerable num¬ 
bers, and were very interesting; Messrs. Yeitch and Sons 
were the principal exhibitors. The most remarkable and 
likely-to-be-useful plant was their new Cantua dependens, a 
shrub of graceful habit, with pendant tubular flowers, four 
inches long, trumpet-shaped, and of a beautiful rose and 
orange colour. The next was their Dendrobium Veitchi- 
anum ; but for the habit of the plant, this would never be 
taken for a Dendrobium ; it is a valuable addition. Also, 
Calceolaria suaveolens, quite a little bush, with sulphur- 
coloured, not very showy, flowers. Also, Gloxinia Marie 
Van Houtte, a large well-shaped flower, something like 
Henderson’s G. grandis, and Bolbophylhnn Lobbii. Mr. Cole 
showed a small plant of Ixora salicifolia, not new, but rare; 
a desirable orange-flowered species. Messrs. Henderson 
had Gompholobium cuneatum, a plant well suited for exhibi¬ 
tion purposes ; and G. intermedium, with orange scarlet I 
flowers. Mrs. Lawrence, Ealing Park, exhibited a new ; 
species of Acineta, from New Grenada; the lip and petals : 
are yellow, richly spotted with purple; the spikes were nearly i 
a foot long. Messrs. Bollison exhibited a new Aphelexis, I 
with large light rose-coloured flowers, and their new heath ! 
E. eximea superba. Mr. Green sent a splendid specimen of j 
the new Epiphyllum crenatum grandijlorum. Mr. Ingram, 
Boyal Gardens, Frogmore, had Begonia Ingramii, with rosy 
flowers. Mr. Mylam had Saccolabium speciosum, with short 
spikes of small flowers; their beauty lies in the bright rose- 
coloured lip. Among plants of economical interest, Messrs. 
Bollison showed a large plant of Schizolobium glutinosum, 
but what economical use it could be put to was not men¬ 
tioned. 
BOOM CHIMNEY-VENTILATOB. 
The great objection to Amott’s ventilator, otherwise a 
most useful and important invention, is, that if not very 
accurately adjusted, the smoke is apt to pass into the room 
through the aperture. Another objection to it is, that in the
