LEPTOSPERMUM SCOPARIUM NiCITOLLII .Crimson Manuka). DURING May, 1912. the great International Exhibition was held in London; this, the first held in London for 40 years. It proved to bo tho greatest flower show the word has ever 'eeen. The "Gardener's Cbroniclo" gave a 25-Guinea Cup for tbo best new plant shown, and after a severe comoetition with a new Orchid of great merit, the prize was awarded to an exhibit of the Lepto-permum Nichollii exhibited by the Rev. Boscawen, of ' Cornwall. To is was described as the best novelty in tb<- Exhibition. Tho history of the plant is worth recording, and is as follows:—In tho summer of 1903 Air W. Nicholls, a well-known woolbuyer of Belfast, Norlb 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 co_!d be procured. This, however, was a secret, end all the information 'endcred by Mr Nicholls was that the original plant was growing in the manuka scrub between Chaney's Corner and tho sea. Me«!*rs Nairn, however, would sol be p_t off, end neked for cuttincs, which were snpT'lied by Mr Nicholls. These cuttings, however, were useless for striking purposes, S3 .the growth was too. hard, and only ono or two- plants were raised, and these were stunted in growth. On a branch brought, however, there wore some eeeds, which wero eown, 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 moetlv . white. The , exceptions, however, .bowed dark, reddish foliage, nnd a dif- . ference' in. habit: V When in bloom ; they .p-ovcd w tohe-*r_mso-i-in colour; and'from one of tbeso (the best variety) the now famous Leptoapermum Nichollii has been named and introduced into the horticnltnr.l word. To Nairn and Sons tho honour of distribu*'in? this plant,to the world can be accorded. Quite a number of plants have been .delivered ip. England, where it is much Bought after.
