The Annual Show of Camellias and Narcissi was opened at the Palace Rink yesterday. There was a very excellent show in all the classes; the hyacinths were really splendid, especially Messrs Nairn's collec tions, which took the special prizes given by Messrs Abbott and A. W. Bennetts. Mr Anstey had also some good trusses of hyacinths. The camellias were not as good as might hare been expected, the season being nearly over. Some remarkably good primroses were ex hibited, and some fine narcissi. The polyanthus exhibits as a whole were good, and Mr J. G. Davis sent a nice lot of pansies for exhibition only. Mr Olliviere collection of cut blooms was very ex cellent, comprising well bloomed speci mens of a good many flowers. Mis* Maggie Donald sent a very pretty lady a spray and button-hole bouquet, and Messrs Guntrip and Line a collection of grape hyacinths and water lilies. Messrs Gun trip and Line sent a fine collection of polyanthus, comprising over one hundred varieties, and the same exhibitors had a nice lot of cinerarias. The show of these and greenhouse plants though small, was good. Mr T. Abbott had a nice collection of cut blooms, &c, for exhibition, which added considerably to the effect. In connection with the show it may be noted that Mr Appleby exhibited his narcissi in what may be called their natural state, i.e., growing In a sod of grass. This added greatly to the effect of the flowers. Mrs J. M. Batham is entitled to what may be called the prize of honor in the snow, the Judges awarding to her stand of hyacinths the distinction of "the best in the show. Tbe trusses were excellent, and there were twelve different varieties exhibited. Mr East found himself defeated on the field where he has hitherto reigned supreme, viz., orchids, Miss Reese taking the first prize with a well-flowered specimen of Dendro bium Nobile; Mr East took second with Dendrobium Wardianum. Mr A. iuppieby secured Mrs Gresson's special prize for col lection of narcissi, open to all comers, with a nice stand, the taetefulness of arrangement of which is worthy of notice. Miss E. Gordon sent a basket of flowers, which received the very highest commen dation from the judge*. Hon. J. T. sea cock took Mrs Meares' special prize for six stove or greenhouse plants with a mcc exhibit.
