MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 63 
There were also shown some of the unexcelled photographs of 
native orchids taken by Mr. Lincoln, and Mr. Oakes Ames 
exhibited some beautiful paintings of Cypripediums. Alto- 
gether, it would be hard to conceive of a more complete and 
satisfactory first attempt on the part of the American Orchid 
Society to present the magnificence and beauty of this unique 
group of plants. 
The exhibit sent from the Garden did not comprise the 
showy hybrids but a collection of botanical interest. Thirty- 
seven distinct genera, representing forty-six species (all that 
could be included in the requisite twenty-five square feet), 
were selected, many of which were collected on the recent 
expedition into South America and are new to this country. 
For this exhibit, which was in competition, the Garden was 
awarded a silver cup. A collection of slipper orchids of 
the mosaic-leaf type was also shipped, but the trip was too 
long for the flowers to last in perfect form and some of them 
were broken in transit. A set of colored photographs illus- 
trating the collecting and transportation of orchids from 
South America for the Garden was likewise shown. A silver 
medal was awarded for this exhibit.
