rubra flora pleno; a fine large specimen ; double red flower. 
There were many large plants of Azaleas, that, by their blanched appearance, 
showed evident signs of having been kept back for the Show, which will mate¬ 
rially affect their future well-being. 
The beautiful varieties of Calceolarias were generally admired. Some 
yellow, others purple, and several scarlet; many of them spotted all over with 
various distinct colours. 
Several Tropceolum tricolorum, on fancy wire trellises, looked like ruby 
pearls on a carpet of green. The following were conspicuous as beautiful 
specimens:— 
Euphorbia splendens ; scarlet. 
Combretum purpureum; scarlet. 
Cytissus filipes ; flowers white, branches pendulous like a weeping-willow. 
Gardenia florida; two large plants ; the numerous white flowers deliciously fragrant.

Dionssa muscipula (Venus Flytrap) is curious, but a poor white flower. 
The Ixora coccinea were fine.

f The Noisette and China cut Roses, from Mr. Lane, were fine.

pinkish white flowers, looks beautiful. 
Canna iridiflora, with purple pendulous flowers. 
Callistemon viridiflorum. 
squarrosum, yellow. 
' Diplopeltis species, pink. 
The other plants, on shelves, plunged in moss, looked sickly. As it is not 
my object to enter into a disquisition on the advantages and disadvantages of 
cast-iron curvilinear houses, to prove that the latter would much overbalance 
the former, I will conclude with a notice of the fruits :— 
One dish of Black Hamburgh, with fine bloom on them, was excellent. Another dish 
from Sir Simon Clarke’s, very large berries, but not well covered. 
The Royal George Peaches, and Elruge Nectarines from the Duke of Devonshire, were 
very fine.
