Of these tho first, written on June 17th, reached us on June 19th. No other list containing tho six names reached us until tho 21st. Tlie prize of one guinea goes, therefore, to tho sender of the first list:— MISS CELIA LAVENDER-, 337 Moorhouse avenue. Five of the winning varieties were named in no lower than 104 of the lists received. Still more named four of them, and only two or throe lista failed to contain at least ono.
