During May, 1912, the 'Exhibition was held in London; this, the first held in London for 40 years. It proved to be the greatest Flower Show the world has ever seen. The "Gardener's Chronicle'' gave a 25-guinea cup for the best New Plant shown, and after a severe* competition with a new Orchid of great merit, the prize was awarded to an exhibit of tbe Leptospermum Nichollii exhibited by the Rev. Boscawen, of Cornwall. " Tlljs was described as the best Novelty in the Exhibition. The history of the plant* is worth recording, and i$ as follows: —In, the summer of 1905 Mr W. Nicholls, a we}l-known wool-buyer, of Belfast, North Canterbury, N.Z., while visiting Nairn and Sons' Nursery, wore a buttdnhole of a crimson manuka. The firm at once recognised a new thing, and asked its whereabouts, and if it could be procured. This, however, was a secret, and all the information tendered by Mr Nicholls was that the original plant was growing in the manuka scrub between Chaney's Corner and the sea. Messrs Nairn, however, would not be put off, and asked for cuttings, which were supplied by Mr Nicholls. These cuttings, however, were useless for striking purposes, us the growth < was too hard, and only one or two plants were raised, and these were stunted in growth. On a branch brought, however, there were some seeds, which were sown, and as a result some 110 plants were raised. These, with the exception of seven, showed in their growth similar character to the old variety of manuka, and later when in bloom were mostly white. The exceptions, however, showed dark reddish foliage, and a difference in habit. When in bloom they proved to be crimson in colout, and from ona of these (the best, variety) the' now famous Leptospermum Nichollii has been named and introduced into the horticultural world. To Nairn and Sons the honour of distributing this plant to the world can be accorded. Quite a number of plants have been delivered in England, where it is touch sought after. In New Zealand thousands of plants have been supplied from our Nursery. STRONG PLANTS, in Fots, 2/6 each. NAIRN & SONS, Lincoln Road, Choh. Telephone No. 241. .25
