pelargoniums, from Hampton, made one hot 
to look at. There were three great mounds of 
plants smothered in glowing bloom, and the 
varieties, Winter Cheer, Fiscal Reform, and 
His Majesty, were all first-rate, the latter 
a grand white-eyed scarlet variety with large 
blooms and trusses. Caladiums from Messrs.

double forms were exceedingly well done. A 
fine group of cfrassulas came from Lady 
Northcliffe, Sutton Place, Guildford (gar¬ 
dener, Mr. J. Goatly). The plants were more 
freely trained than one usually sees them, 
thereby adding to their beauty; they were 
well grown, and equally well displayed.
