longer. Mr. Bruce’s collection contained beautifully neat and 
compact plants, all of them well-flowered, of Aphelexis sesa- 
moides, Acacia diffusa, A. virgata, Azalea indica variegata, 
Erica grandinosa, fastigiata, lutescens, and Andromedifolia, &c 
Mr. Hamp exhibited a third large collection, containing, among 
others, a beautiful plant of Epacris grandiflora, Azalea indica 
alba, Roella formosa, Boronia pinnata, &c. 
Orchideae were shown by Mr. Don, gardener to F. Cox, Esq., 
of Stockwell; they were, Dendrobium macranthum, a fine plant, 
Trichopilia tortilis, Oncidium papilio, O. fiiipes, O. altissimum, 
O. lancifolium, and Epidendrum crassifolium. A rich variety 
of Oncidium luridum guttatum was also present from Mr. Paw¬ 
ley, together with a large plant of Epidendrum crassifolium. 
Mr. Ivery, of Peckham, exhibited a large collection of Cine¬ 
rarias; the best of them were, Beauty of Wonham, Fanny 
Elssler, Criterion, Beauty of Syston, Red Rover, and Nosegay. 
Among his seedlings we were particularly pleased with Therese, 
a fine circular flower, of a peculiar, rosy-tinted blue; Nobilis, 
white, tipped with pale pink, the best form we have yet seen ; 
and Desirable, white, tipped with crimson, fine circular flowers. 
The Auriculas were decidedly superior, and more numerous 
than, from the extremely adverse weather experienced at the 
beginning of the season, we had anticipated. Seedlings were j 
exhibited by Mr. Dickson and Mr. Chapman. Dickson’s Sir 
R. Peel, a grey edge, promises to be a useful flower, but owing 
to the unfavourable weather they have been subject to, a fair 
opportunity of judging them has not been afforded this season. 
Mr. Trahar’s four, which obtained the Cup, were, Conqueror of 
Europe, grey ; Dickson’s Wellington, green ; Clegg’s Crucifix, 
white; and Apollo, self. The best pair, from Mr. Schroder 
were Page’s Champion, green ; and Conqueror of Europe, grey. 
The best six were Gordon’s Champion, Lancashire Hero, Moore’s 
Violet, Cardinal Fleury, Page’s Champion, and Highland Boy, 
from Mr. Trahar. In the nurserymen’s class, Mr. Dickson ex¬ 
hibited the best four — Bury’s Lord Primate, self; Conqueror, 
grey; Page’s Champion, green ; and Taylor’s Glory, white; and 
the best pair, Page’s Champion, and Maclean’s Unique, grey, a 
new and very beautiful flower. A collection of fourteen sorts, 
also from the same, were present. Pansies were shown by Mr. 
May, of Edmonton, and Mr. Hart, of Guildford, and two seedling 
Polyanthuses, by J. P. Burnard, Esq.
