During May, 1912, <he great International Exhibition was held in London; this, the first held in London fo~ 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 the Lep'tosperinum Nichollii exhibited by the Rev. Boscawen, of Cornwall. This was described as the best Novelty in the Exhibition. The history of the plant is worth recording, and is as follows: —In the summer of 1905 Mr W. Nicholls, a well-khown wool-buyer, of Belfast, North Canterbury, N.Z., while visiting Nairn and Sons' Nursery, wore a buttonhole 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 Chancy'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, as 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 crimsou in colour, and from one ol' these (the best variety) the now famous Leptospennum Nichollii has been named and introduced into the horticultural vi'jrld. To Nairn and Soiu 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 much sought after. Iu New- Zealand thousands of plants have been supplied from our NTursery. STRONG PLANTS, in Pots, 2/6 each. NAIRN & SONS, Lincoln Road, Chch.
