ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY 

 OF LONDON- 



The meeting held on Tuesday, May 

 3, was a large one, and besides the 

 orchid, floral and vegetable and fruit 

 committees, it was the occasion chosen 

 for holding the National Auricula So- 

 ciety's annual exhibition o£ plants m 

 bloom — always an attraction for ama- 

 teurs and the trade interested in these 

 pretty flowers. Exhibits of a miscel- 

 laneous description were numerous. 



Orchids were shown by all the regu- 

 lar exhibitors at these meetings, in- 

 cluding E. V. Low, M. Maurice Mer- 

 tens, C. Turner, Sander & Son, E. 

 Rogerson and others. Among Mr. Rog- 

 erson's plants was Miltonia Bleueana 

 Hessle, var. a large white flower, four 

 Inches by three inches, with patches 

 of light and dark purple in tlie centre, 

 which obtained a first-class certific.ate. 



J. Veitch & Sons showed Brasso- 

 cattleya-Laelia Pink Beauty, the pale 

 purple flowers having a much frilled 

 lip edged with darker tint and orange 

 staining in the throat. The parents are 

 Laelio-cattleya Hippolyte x Brasso- 

 cattleya Digbyano Mossiae. 



Mr. d'Barri Crawshay showed Odon- 

 tloda Charlesworthii, a marvellously 

 bright crimson colored variety with a 

 spike of 10 flowers two inches in diam- 

 eter. It is the finest Odontioda of the 

 color yet raised. A first-class certifi- 

 cate was awarded. 



Mr. MacBean obtained an award of 

 merit for a magnificent exhibit of 

 Odontoglossum crispum, and a similar 

 one for a plant of Cattleya Mendelii 

 Pearl MacBean. Charlesworth & Co. 

 made a small display with plants of 

 fine quality. Noted was Trichopillea 

 Backhouseana, white flowered, except 

 for the lip, which is stained yellow. 



H. Burnett showed fine carnations, 

 as he always does, of varieties raised 

 at his nursery and in the U. S. A. The 

 variety Mrs. C. F. Raphael received an 

 award of merit. It was raised at the 

 Guernsey nursery. Mrs. W. B. Clode, 

 also raised there, is a fine large flower 

 that indicated its origin from the Mal- 

 maison race. The exhibitor showed 

 capitally, Winona, Bay State, The 

 President, R. F. Felton, Hon. Mrs. 

 Hunter, etc. 



The various exhibits of narcissi had 

 a great attraction for the visitors, but 



there are too many alike and their 

 name is legion. Someone should make 

 a selection of the most distinct vari- 

 eties in every class, and doing this 

 would assist buyers who cannot come 

 to the nurseries and shows to make 

 their choice. The variety Will Scar- 

 let, with a reddish orange cup one 

 inch across and creamy white perianth 

 segments; Larissa of the same section, 

 with perianth white and good sub- 

 stance, were particularly admired. A 

 fine bicolor variety Is Harmony with a 

 canary colored corona and a white 

 perianth. The above were remarked 

 in an exhibit from R. H. Bath of 

 Wisbeck. 



It is worth mentioning that the new 

 varieties of Schizanthus retusus are 

 great improvements on this old in- 

 mate of our gardens. Messrs Garraway
