SEEDLING FERN. 



Please tell us the name of the fern 

 of which we send a specimen. It is a 

 seedling that we found in a basket of 

 Vanda suavis. Fba^'k Bros. 



The seedling fern in question is one 

 of the Stags Horn ferns, and so far as 

 one can judge from so young a speci- 

 men, this is Platycerium alicorne ma- 

 jus. Tlie fronds of this specimen have 

 not yet attained their perfect form, and 

 this makes a positive identification dif- 

 ficult, but from the fact that Vanda 

 suavis and P. alcicorne majus are both 

 natives of the same region, PoljTiesia, it 

 is quite possible that specimens of each 

 of these plants may have been growing 

 upon branches of the same tree, or upon 

 contiguous trees, and that the spores of 

 the fern have been imported with the 

 orchid. W. H. Taplin. 



CARNATION EMPIRE STATE. 



Ed. Florists' Review: Empire State 

 is disappointing us and we have de- 

 cided not to disseminate it, as to do so 

 would be injustice to Fhe trade and 

 bad policy for us. We shall not grow 

 it again. L. E. JIarquisb:e.
