FLORAL INTELLIGENCE.

were also given to Mr. Mannock, gardener to C. Pritchard, Esq., 
of Clapham, for a nice little plant of L'ilium speciosum, and to 
Mr. Pamplin for an excellent plant of Gardoquia Hookerii. A 
new Melastomaceous plant was exhibited by Mr. Mannock, 
with ample ovate leaves and large rosy lilac flowers, which ap¬ 
parently will be produced rather numerously. 
The prizes for Fuchsias were awarded to Messrs. Corbin, 
Robinson, Gaines, and Jennings ; we did not observe anything 
particularly new or striking among them; a seedling from Mr. 
Jennings, called British Queen, obtained a first-class certificate; 
it is a large flower, with pale rose-coloured tube and sepals and 
bright red corolla. 
The Roses were numerous, and in beautiful condition ; the 
prizes were awarded respectively to Messrs. Lane, Paul, and 
Francis. A great number of cut flowers were also present; the 
awards were, 1st, Mr. Bruce; 2nd, Mr. Parsons ; 3rd, Mr. 
Garty ; and 4th, Mr. Robinson ; and in the Nurserymen’s division 
of the class, 1st, Mr. Plenbrey; 2nd, Mr. Pamplin. The extra 
prizes offered by Mr. Seldon for 24 Verbenas were taken by 
Mr. Smith and Mr. Henbrey ; and that offered by Mr. Dutton 
for a floral device, also by Mr. Henbrey, though we confess our 
inability to discover the merit of the production. 
Other extra prizes were given by the Society to Mr. Cuthill 
for a beautiful collection of Lisianthus Russellianus, Mr. Agate 
for Asters, Mr. Hall for Pansies, and to Mr. Conolly for Cocks¬ 
combs.
