MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 59 
The prize of the Missouri Botanical Garden for the best 
new flowering plant was awarded to Adolph Lewisohn, Esq., 
Ardsley, N. Y., Mr. J. Canning, Gardener, for a particularly 
fine and striking jewel flower (Impatiens). The size of the 
plant with its exceptionally large and abundant flowers and 
deep rich red color, marked it at once as being unusual and 
after a careful consideration by the judges it was unani- 
mously given first prize. 
The prize for the best new foliage plant was given to 
John Wannamaker, Esq., Mr. John Dodds, Superintendent, 
for a variegated pandanus. Although entries of economic 
plants were received from as far away as New Orleans, none 
of the specimens were considered as being up to the stand- 
ard and no award was made. 
NOTES. 
About twenty-five members of the St. Louis Section of 
the American Pharmaceutical Association visited the Garden 
on March 18th. While not much could be seen in the out- 
door medicinal garden because of the early season, the mem- 
bers found many plants of interest to the druggist in the 
plant houses. 
Dr. George T. Moore, Director of the Garden, visited the 
International Flower Show, held in New York City at the 
New Grand Central Palace, April 5-12. In addition to see- 
ing the exhibits in the interests of the Garden, Dr. Moore 
acted as judge in some of the sections. 
On oes 1, Carl Haltenhoff and Earl Reed each com- 
pleted the four years’ course as Garden Pupils and were 
granted diplomas after being examined by the Garden Com- 
oon of the Board of Trustees and the Director of the 
Garden. 
Mr. A. R. Davis, Rufus J. Lackland Fellow in Botany in 
the Shaw School of Botany, will spend the summer in the 
Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Mass., as as- 
sistant to Dr. B. M. Duggar. 
On March 20th, Dr. B. M. Duggar, Plant Physiologist to
