Kent and Canterbury Floral and Floricultural 
Society. —Thursday, June 8, 1843. This Show passed off in 
the best manner possible; the exhibitors were more numerous 
than usual, and the very fine specimens of culture, as well as 
the rare plants which were present, proved that the taste for 
flowers and skill in their growth are rapidly increasing. Among 
the plants most deserving of notice were two collections of Suc¬ 
culents, from J. G. Shepherd, esq. The same gentlemen also 
sent some beautiful Gloxinias and a new Achimenes (imported 
from Belgium), A. Gesbrightii, with white flowers shaded with 
purple and spotted in the throat, the leaves are also red beneath 
and very rough above, much more so than A. pedunculata, to 
which species it seems nearly related. The Rev. W. Brockman 
sent the new Campanula grandis, a new Calceolaria, and a finely- 
grown plant of Fuchsia corymbiflora ; from Mrs. Webb, an ex¬ 
tensive collection, including x4maryllis vittata, a collection of 
Ericee and Pelargoniums; Denne Denne, esq., sent a fine col¬ 
lection of Fuchsias, one of which was covered with flowers and 
completely hid the pot, also several varieties of Rhododendrons, 
Azaleas, and Kalmias ; from G. Buckley esq., a well-grown Ely- 
chrysum spectabile, a small Erica odora rosea, and a fine basket 
of cut flowers. Mrs. Grayling exhibited an interesting collec¬ 
tion of named Grasses and Carices found growing in this 
vicinity. 
Mr. Alderman Masters exhibited his Seedling Perlargonium, 
the Archbishop of Canterbury, one of the best formed flowers 
we ever saw; some Fuchsias grown on the one-shift system, 
among which were Brockmannii, Monypennii, and Magnifica. 
Among the Orchidese, a fine Oncidium flexuosum, with darker 
flowers than the common kind ; Gongora maculata fulgens, 
Oncidium luridum, Cattleya Forbesii, and Cyrtochilum filipes ;
