crispum, Miltonia vexillaria, the finest 

 being a charming pure white form 

 named Queen Alexandra, Masdevallia 

 Harryana Sanderae, nearly white, Cyp- 

 ripedium insigne Sanderae, C. Maudiae, 

 C. callosum Sanderae, C. bellatulum 

 sulphureum, and many well-flowered 

 plants of the type, a giant-specimen 

 Brassia verrucosa with thirty spil^es, 

 together with many specimens of On- 

 cidium macranthum with trailing 

 spilves 10 feet in length. But to 

 enumerate the varieties staged would 

 occupy too much of your valuable 

 space. The group was undoubtedly 

 the best ever staged by this firm. 



No. 2 photograph is a group of be- 

 gonias. These secured first prize, and 

 showed great variation both in size, 

 form and coloring, also the numerous 

 frilled flowers which predominated. 

 Several acres are devoted to the cul- 

 ture of tuberous begonias by Messrs. 

 Sander. Several new kinds of B. 

 Lafayette type, planted outside the 

 beds, also secured the highest awards, 

 being profusely flowered and in many 

 colors. 



The group of stove and (Jecorative 

 plants shown in the frontispiece se- 

 cured the first prize for fifty varieties. 

 Among those staged were Polypodium 

 Knightiae, a new handsome stove fern, 

 Dracaena Goldiana, Angiopteris evecta, 

 Pandanus Sanderi, Heliconia Edward- 

 us Rex, a rich bronze foliage, Panax 

 Balfouri, Alocasia argyrea. Begonia 

 Fearnley Sander, new Rex type, Acaly- 

 pha Sanderi, Nephrolepis Scotti, Cro- 

 ton Fred Sander, a new and very 

 promising commercial variety with 

 green and golden variegation. Nepen- 

 thes, dracaenas, philodendrons and oth- 

 ers, all specimens of their kind and 

 artistically staged. These were made 

 up from Sander & Sons Nurseries, St. 

 Albans, England and Bruges.
