ORCHIDS AT NEW YORK FLOWER SHOW. 



By W. N. Cr.mg. 



Excellent as were all departments of the New York's 

 big spring exhibition, the orchids were splendid. They 

 were well arranged, and contained a better and more 

 varied lot of plants than in 1913. Large specimens of 

 Cattleyas were missing, but in their stead were quantities 

 of nice plants carrying up to fifteen and eighteen flowers 

 each, in fact, all the orchid plants shown were of medium 

 size, no specimen plant of any of the genera being forth- 

 coming which could be called more than ordinary, so far 

 as mere size goes ; but new, rare and unique flowers were 

 very ntunerous. I hope another season to see more plants 

 of real specimen size, particularly of Cattleyas, Cypripe- 

 diums, Dendrobituns, Cymbidiums and Coelogyne. It 

 was pleasing and refreshing to note some very fine spikes 

 of Odontoglossums and I wondered if these plants had 

 spent a summer in America. The Renantheras and Odon- 

 tiodas were very good and gave a touch of airiness to the 

 groups, but Phalaenopsis were poorer in number than I 

 had hoped to see. 



I am not going to describe the plants shown in each 

 of the various classes, but merely mention some that 

 struck me as being particularly good in the several groups. 

 Taking the beautiful collection of Julius Roehrs Com- 

 pany first, some of the more noteworthy plants were : 

 Odontiodas, Bradshawiae and Charlesworthi : Cypripe- 

 dium, Maudiae magnificum and Rothschildeanum : Platy- 

 clinis glumacea, by no means new but decidedly dainty; 

 Dendrobium Fortelis Jamesianum and nobile nobilius ; 

 Phalaenopsis Schilleriana ; Miltonia St. Andre and Roezlii 

 alba : Cattleyas Lawrenceana, Schroederae alba — a fine
