SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Plant Registration. 



A. Herrington registers new Hemer- 

 ocallis "Florham;" H. aurantiaca ma- 

 jor X Thunbergii. Habit of plant in- 

 termediate between parents. The foli- 

 age has the distichous arrangement of 

 H. aurantiaca major, but the leaves 

 are narrower, more elongated and 

 arching outward after the manner of 

 H. Thunbergii. Flower spikes erect, 

 three to four feet in height, bearing 

 five to six branches, each producing 

 six to seven flowers. Flowers when 

 expanded are about six inches in di- 

 ameter, sepals four inches long, three- 

 fourths of an inch broad, yellow, suf- 

 fused orange, some flowers showing 

 well defined band of this hue through 

 entire length of sepal. Petals four 

 inches long, one and one-fourth inches 

 broad, and of a clear canary vellow 

 color. 



WM. J. STEWART. Secretary. 



BERMUDA BULBS. 



The Department of State has entered 

 into a treaty of reciprocity with the 

 British colony of Bermuda. It is sub- 

 ject to ratification by the Senate and 

 will not be made public until after be- 

 ing submitted to that body for action. 



As lily bulbs are one of the princi- 

 pal exports of the colony it is exceed- 

 ingly likely that in exchange for tariff 

 concessions to the United States Ber- 

 muda lily bulbs will be admitted free 

 to our ports. This would certainly be 

 a great help to the Bermuda growers, 

 though they would still have the dis- 

 ease problem to solve, and should less- 

 en the cost of Bermuda grown bulbs to 

 American florists.
