was taken by Mr. Widnall for the 2nd, the Large Linnaean by 
Mr. Brown for the 3rd, and the Small Victoria by Mr. Girling 
for the 3rd. 
The extra prize offered by Mr. Cook for two blooms of his 
Albion was taken by Mr. Bushell. 
The seedlings were numerous, and most of them very good. 
We must congratulate Mr. Keynes on the possession of such a 
magnificent flower as that he exhibited as a seedling of 1844, 
called Sir Edmund Antrobus; it is perfect, of large size, exqui¬ 
site shape, and bright pleasing crimson-red colour, it was deser¬ 
vedly awarded a first-class certificate ; Gaines’s Princess Radzi- 
vill, a light rose, tipped ; Gilding’s Queen of Perpetuals, pink; 
Trentfield’s Lady Stopford, crimson-red; Prometheus, rosy 
purple, and Newington Rival, dark purple, from Messrs. F. & 
A. Smith, all received first-class certificates. There were man}'- 
others ; among the most remarkable we noticed a very promising 
white, the Marchioness of Cornwallis, from Mr. Walls of Hun- 
gerford; Mrs. Caudle, a dull orange, and Miss Prettyman, 
white with purple tips, from Mr. Turner of Chalvey, and Spary’s 
Marquis of Ailesbury, a peculiar purple tint. 
Besides these, Messrs. Collison, Bushell, and Brown received 
certificates for seedlings of 1845. There was also a tolerable 
gathering of plants, though the effects of the late period of the 
season and dull weather were apparent in several. Mr. Bruce 
received the principal prize, 5/., for the best 18; among them 
were nice plants of Epiphyllum speciosum, Gardoquia Hookerii, 
Erica Aitonii, Crinum amabile, Euphorbium splendens, Manettia 
bicolor, &c.: the Gold Medal was obtained by Mr. Young for a 
similar number; among his plants was a very excellent Erica 
ampullacea vittata. The Large Victoria Medal was given to Mr. 
Doran for the best 12, and the Large Linnaean to Mr. Hamp for 
the 2nd ditto. In the Nurserymen’s Class, the first prize, Large 
Victoria Medal, was taken by Mr. Pamplin with a collection 
containing very neat plants of Achimenes longiflora, A. grandi- 
flora, A. multiflora, Clerodendron squamatum, Erica Irbyana, 
&c. 
For single specimens Mr. Dawson obtained the Large Victoria, 
for a splendid plant of Erica Irbyana, Mr. Bruce the Small Lin¬ 
naean for Witsenia corymbosa, Mr. Cuthill the Small Minerva for 
an excellent specimen of Lisianthus Russellianus. Extra prizes
