THE FLORIST’S JOURNAL. 
and Fuchsias. Mr. Masters, of Canterbury, sent a large collection of rare 
plants, including a noble specimen of Sabal Blackburniana, Araucaria ex- 
celsa. The chief features of this collection consisted in a series of Orchida¬ 
ceous plants, another of Succulents, and a third of plants used in domestic 
economy and the arts; the most extraordinary plant in the first series was 
the Oncidium papilio; near this stood Oncidium flexuosum; also two 
varieties of Epidendrum cochleatum; among the Succulents we noticed 
the extraordinary Cereus senilis, a very large specimen of Opuntia mono- 
cantha, and several of the globular Cactuses. The most interesting among 
the Plants used in domestic economy was the Sago palm, Cycas revoluta, 
with several fine whorls of leaves. 
Among the Plants in competition, was an orange tree from Sir R. 
Burton, covered with fruit, in all stages of maturity, and a noble Fuchsia 
corymbiflora, nearly 20 feet, from J. B. Judge, Esq., was the admiration 
of everybody, as well as a handsomely-grown plant of Fuchsia Chandlerii, 
for which an extra prize was awarded. The Pelargoniums and miscella¬ 
neous collection from T. N. Harris, Esq. were examples of good culti¬ 
vation. 
In concluding these hasty remarks, we must congratulate the society on 
the success of the first show, which passed off in the most satisfactory 
manner.
