Mrs. William S. Kimball, Rochester, 

 N. Y., offers for registration the follow- 

 ing described new orchid. 



Raisers' Description. — The plant is a 

 sport from the well-known Cypriped- 

 ium Harrisianum differing from the 

 original as follows: The habit of the 

 growth is short and compact and the 

 plant is very floriferous. The leaves 

 are much narrower and have a bright 

 glossy surface. The flower scape is of 



greenish color, six to nine inches in 

 height. The flower is of medium size, 

 beautifully formed and of a light 

 greenish color, slightly shaded, the 

 staminode being perfectly green. 



The name which I wish to give to 

 the above described Orchid is Cypri- 

 pediuni Harrisianum "Laura Mitchell 

 Kimball." 



JOHN YOUNG, Secretary. 



January 31, 1913. 



President Parquhar has called a 

 meeting of the Bo^ird of Directors for 

 February 25. at 10 A. M.. at the Hotel 

 Radisson, Minneapolis. 



JOHN YOUNG, Secretary. 



AMERICAN ENTERPRISE. 



From a grower's point of view, per- 

 haps the most stri' ing exhibit at the 

 R. H. S. on Tuesday last was the vase 

 of the new American Rose. Mrs. 

 Charles Russell, brought over from 

 the other side by Mr. Manda, of St. Al- 

 lans. We have all been reading the 

 descriptions of this new rose in the 

 press, but little thought we should 

 see it in the "natural" for some time. 

 Now who on earth in this little island 

 would have dared to cut thirty to for- 

 ty roses, with an idea of exhibiting 

 them in New York ten to twelve days 

 hence? Yet this idea occurred to Mr. 

 Manda, and what is more, it "came 

 off," for not only did he bring the rose 

 across, but placed it lefore the Floral 

 Committee of the R. H. S., and gained 

 an Award of Merit. If this does not 

 "lick creation," 1 should like a better 

 example! — Xurscri/man and Seedsman. 

 London. 



The Connecticut Nurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation will meet on Feb. 12th at the 

 Experiment Station in New Haven. 



MID-WINTER FLOWER SHOW. 



The mid-winter flower show at Hor- 

 ticultural Hall, Boston, on February 1 

 and 2 drew an unusually larae attend- 

 ance. The show compared favorably 

 with its predecessors in extent and 

 quality. A remarkably handsome plant 

 of Chorozema Lowii attracted much 

 attention as did also a grand display of 

 pansy blooms by William Sim and am-

 Whitman was represented by splendid 

 snecimens of Prinuilas stell'^t" sinen- 

 sis and obconica and Mrs. Fred Ayer

 and Erica melanthera. Mrs J. L. 

 Gardner showed fine groups of hard 

 wooded greenhouse plants, bulbous 

 plants, etc.. and E. B. Dane se up an 

 excellent group of lilacs, acacias and 

 ericas. There was an unusual show- 

 ing of carnations from S. J. God- 

 dard, A. A. Pembroke, Patten & 

 Co., A. W. Preston, W. D. Howard 

 and others. H. Huebner showed 

 his new winter-flowering snapdrag- 

 ons. John Barr vis a%>arcled a cer- 

 tificate of merit for carnation Mrs.
