HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY OF 

 NEW YORK. 



The January E.xhibition of the So- 

 ciety was held on Wednesday, the 20th, 

 at the American Museum of Natural 

 History. The larger attendance of 

 gardeners was very gratifying, this 

 perhaps being due to holding the ex- 

 hibition on Wednesday, instead of 

 Saturday. There was a good display 

 of flowers, especially of orchids. Two 

 of the most attractive e.xhibits were 

 made by Mrs. F. A. Constable, James 

 Stuart, gard. One of these was a vase 

 of cut blooms of Buddleia asiatica, 

 tastefully arranged, and making a 

 striking display; the other, near it, a 

 vase of Plumbago coccinea. The pure 

 white flowers of the Buddleia made a 

 striking contrast with the bright red 

 blooms of the Plumbago. The dis- 

 plays of cut orchid blooms l)y Lager & 

 Hurrell and Mr. Clement Moore were 

 cxcei)tionally fine. 



The next exhibition will be held at 

 the same place on Wednesday, Feb- 

 ruary 17th. Prizes are offered for cut 



Hand honed like a razor. Tc^icd to cut 

 the finest bouquet wire. Handles fit 

 your hand like a glove. At your dealer 

 or from us for 70 cents.
