growers ready to examine his samples 

 of osmunda fibre for orcliid potting 

 material. This he showed in natural 

 and cleaned condition. 



W. A. Manda's sterile form of Poly- 

 ijodium aurei'm glaucum was one of 

 the most impressive things among the 

 novelties. He also had an unidentified 

 tree fern from Africa with noble frond 

 development and a new juniper from 

 the snow-clad mountains of Africa, 

 which, should it prove hardy, will be 

 a great acquisition. The latter was the 

 winner of the gold medal. 



I. S. Hendrickson from the .1. L. 

 Childs establishment, showed pardon- 

 able pride in the new variety of Gladi- 

 olus Childsii, which has been named 

 after himself. It is a very striking 

 flower.
