THE FLORIST’S JOURNAL. 
A group of 12 small plants was contributed by Mr. Don, 
gardener to F. Cox, Esq., among which were Cirrhaea viridi- 
purpurea, very curious, Anguloa sp. unnamed, Cattleya Harri- 
soniae, Schomburgkia tibicinis, and Aerides odoratum. Two 
small collections were exhibited, one by Messrs. Henderson, and 
the other by Mr. Plant. 
Of single specimens, there was a considerable number; we 
remarked a noble Erica Massoni, from Mr. Hunt, for which a 
first prize was awarded, a good E. obbata, from Mr. Pamplin, 
a fine Veronica speciosa, from Mr. Kinghorn, Mahernia incisa, 
6 feet in height, from Mr. Bailey, and Clerodendron fallax, 
from Mr. Ayres. Of new plants not in bloom, Mr. Mylam, 
gardener to S. Rucker, Esq., jun., sent a magnificent plant of 
Nepenthes ampullacea, about 7 feet in height, and bearing 
numbers of large pitchers, which are beautifully streaked with 
brown; this was by far the most remarkable plant shown. 
Messrs. Henderson contributed Jacaranda Clauseniana. The 
display of Roses, both cut and in pots, was extremely beautiful ; 
the first prize for 20 varieties of the latter was awarded to Messrs. 
Lane and Son, in whose collection were Le Pactole, General 
Allard, Charles Duval, Persian Yellow, Flora Maclvor, Barbet, 
and Duchess of Sutherland. Mr. Dobson, gardener to Mr. Beck, 
won the second prize in this class. A second prize was awarded 
to Mr. Dobson for 10; among these were White Bath Moss, 
French Crimson Moss, Felicite, and Bourbon Queen. Col¬ 
lections of cut Roses were numerous. For groups of 100 
varieties, the first prize was awarded to Mr. Lane, and the 
second to Mr. Francis. For 50 sorts, Mr. Collison won the first 
prize, and Mr. Milne the second. For 25 varieties the compe¬ 
tition was with Messrs. Paul, Lane, and Rivers, the prizes being 
awarded in the order in which the names are mentioned. 
Among miscellaneous objects, Mr. Pamplin was awarded a 
prize for a collection of Gesneraceous plants containing Glox¬ 
inia Cartonii, Sinningia guttata, and several species of Achi- 
menes. There were also groups of Ferns, Alpine plants, some 
dwarf Cacti, and several devices illustrative of the grouping of 
plants in flower-gardens. The numerous collections of Pelar¬ 
goniums were generally well-bloomed, and in fine healthy con¬ 
dition. The first prize was awarded to Mr. J. Dobson, gardener 
to Mr. E. Beck, for Favourite, Belinda, Bellona, Rosy Circle, 
Margaret, Isabella, Marc Antony, Desdemona, Sultana, Zenobia,
