PiEONiA LEsperance received an Awardof Merit at the meeting of the Royal Horticul-tural Society held on June 7 last, when speci-mens were exhibited by Messrs. Kelway & is a variety of Pasonia Moutan, with verybeautiful flowers of sulphur-yellow colour. Thepetals are in three rows, and the flower possessesconsiderable substance, but the crimson stigmataand filaments, and the purplish-rose blotches atthe base of the petals, give an effect very similarto a single Fig. 184.—p^oxia lesperance epidermal layer. Many crosses between Primulas,Begonias, Calceolarias, and Capsicums were re-ferred to by Prof. Bateson. Attention wasdirected1 to Begonia phyllomaniaca, which has acurious moss-like growth on the stems. Bycrossing B. heracleifolia and B. polyantha it iseasy to raise B. phyllomanica, which was for-merly considered a true species. In the groundsexperiments are being conducted with gardenPeas, and there are trials of Cabbages to deter-mine their behaviour as annuals or tea, which was kindly provided by , the annual meeting of the club washeld, the principal business being the electionof officers.
