THE FLORIST AND POMOLOGIST. 
[October, 
waiting to be moulded by the hands of ad¬ 
miring cultivators into more and more beauti¬ 
ful border flowers, for which purpose, we must 
repeat, the two dwarf groups typified by D. 
gracilis and D. coccinea are, speaking generally, 
infinitely to be preferred. 
The show was held at the Crystal Palace in 
consequence of the handsome contribution 
made to the prize fund by the Directors. 
Whether it is to be repeated, or whether this 
help will be again forthcoming is not yet known, 
but many growers have expressed a desire 
that the show might be an annual one. The 
principal prize collections, which are all we 
can find space for, were the following:—
