Fine Mid- Winter Exhibition. 



Tiie first of the regular Saturday ex 

 hibitions at Horticultural Hall under 

 the new management of the Massachu- 

 setts Horticultural Society was hold on 

 January 30 and brought out a remark- 

 ably fine show. Orchids were tlie star 

 feature, being shown i.n large cjuanti- 

 ties, some 600 bottles of cut blooms be- 

 ing staged in over 300 varieties and 

 species. In the class for best display 

 of cut orchids W. N. Craig, of the V. L. 

 Ames estate, won the Appleton sHver 

 gilt medal with 200 bottles, mostly dis- 

 tinct. Emil Johannsou, gardener to J. 

 E. Eothwell, took the silver medal and 

 William Thatcher, gardener -to Mrs. J. 

 L. Gardner, the bronze medal. Tcorge 

 Melvin, gardener to Colonel Charles 

 Pfaff, also had a fine collection. There 

 was never a finer showing of cut or- 

 chids at any previous Boston .show. 



Carnations, owing to McKinley day 

 occurring ou the previous day, were not 

 largely shown. Eockland Gretuhouses 

 showed a plant and vase of cut blooms 

 of a beautiful variegated sport of Mrs. 

 Lawsoii, which received a certificate of 

 merit. This will push Mrs. M- A. Pat- 

 ten close, if it does not eclipse it. S. J. 

 ■Goddard's new seedling yellow attract- 

 ed favorable notice. For collection of 

 violets N. F. Comley won, showing sev- 

 en varieties. Mrs. E. M. Gill had the 

 best freesias. 



Primula sinensis, P. obconica and P. 

 stellata were well shown by William 

 Thatcher, who won two first and one 

 third prizes; E. .7. Mitton, J. Lawson, 

 gardener, and E. W. Breed. Robert Cam 

 cron, of Harvard Botanic Gardens, was 

 .iwarded a cultural certificate for two 

 grand specimens of Chorizema ilicifo- 

 lium, also a certificate of merit for the 

 new Acacia Baileyana. George Melvin 

 secured cultural commendation for a 

 large well flowered basket of Coelogyne 

 cristata. W. N. Craig showed well 

 flowered pans of the Chatsworth variety 

 of ccelog\-ne. 



Lager &, Hurrell had a nice little table 

 of orchid plants. E. & .1. Farquhar & 

 Co. put up a beautifully arranged table 

 of splendidly grown Begonia Gloire de 

 Lorraine edged with primulas and Iso- 

 lepis gracilis. .T. Montgomery 'Sears, 

 Alexander (>gg, gardener, also had a 

 beautiful lot of tliis begonia, which se- 

 curi'd a cultural certificate for Mr. Ogg.

PITTOSPORUM. 



I'^M'losed iilcMM- tinil a spray of a tree 

 that grows ahout the size and shape of 

 an azalea. Please tell me the proper 

 name. J. F. B. 



The little s]iray inclosed is a Pitto- 

 spoinm. 1 (iiuid not be positive as to the 

 species, hut l)elieve it is P. coriaceimi. It 

 is a greenhouse shrub. The flower is con- 

 spicuous and sweet scented. While they 



are desirable for a private conservatory 

 thev are by no means a commercial 

 plaiit. ■ W. S. 



WHOSE LOSS IS IT? 



A florist takes plants to keep through 

 the winter and charges storage for them. 

 His greenhouses, through accident, are 

 destroyed by fire and the plants are all 

 killed. In tlw> absence of any agreement 

 whatever who stands the loss, the florist 

 or the owners of the plants?

 business without The Review's weekly
