Speaking now of the various departments of the Exhibition, we first come to pot plants. The most noticeable among these were the fuchsias, which attracted general admiration. They included some fine varieties, well grown and well bloomed. Those sent by Mr Greenaway were fine examples of what can be done in a short time with the fuchsia, when the right mode of growth is adopted. Some of these plants were four feet high, well feathered to the base, and grown from cuttings struck last autumn. The zonal geraniums were well represented, but we did not see many of the newer and improved varieties. Taking them altogether, the trusses were very imperfect, with the excep tion of a good specimen of Alexandrina, sent by Duncan and Sou. We were disap pointed in finding that no advance had been made in the popular tricolor section, but it was some consolation to hear that several of the finer varieties had recently been im ported. Among tlie miscellaneous pot plants there was not much to call for special re mark, and most of them were old acquain tances.
The cut flowers were staged in considerable quantities, and although showing the effects of the late boisterous weather, were a decided advance on those of previous exhibitions. The dahlias were good ; of marigolds, there were but few ; of gladiolus, there were some fine varieties ; and the asters and pansies were excellent. The hand and table-bouquets attracted many fair admirers, and the floral devices exhibited much skill and novelty of desigu.
