 The R. H. S. Spring Show. 

 The Spring Show of tlie Royal Hor- 

 ticnltiiral Society, \vhich opened on 

 May 18th at the Royal Hospital Gar- 

 dens. Chelsea, showed a falling off in 

 total entries compared with last yea.'s 

 exhibition, but the quality of the ex- 

 hibits was all that could be desired. 

 Orchids, of course, made a brilliant 

 display. Here ^ve^e to be seen the fin- 

 est specimens from the conservatories 

 of Sir Jeremiah Colman. Sander & Son, 

 rharlesworth & Co.. .T. Cypher & Sons, 

 J. Gurney Fowler. Stuart Low & Co.. 

 Bush Hill Park. Middlesex; MansoU & 

 Hatcher, Ltd.. and others. Roses formed 

 an attractive feature. The develop- 

 ment of the rambler, multiflora. and 

 polyantha classes has enabled the spe- 

 cialists in this section to produce some 

 pleasing effects with trailing strings of 

 bloom on lattice work and arches. A 

 superb array of our national flower was

staged by the leading nurserymen. 

 Each season there is a noticeable ad- 

 vance in the excellence of the carna- 

 tions, both in the .\merican introduc- 

 tions and those raised on this side of 

 the .Atlantic. The leading specialists 

 were well represented. A bright patch 

 of color was afforded by the fine dis- 

 plays of May flowering tulips. There 

 were no striking novelties amongst the 

 sweet peas. Raisers are evidently con- 

 tent to make the most of the already 

 long list of varieties which are com- 

 peting for public favor. The alpine and 

 rock plant, the herbaceous plant, and 

 the conservatory plant section were all 

 of an all-round excellence. The follow- 

 ing were awarded gold medals; .1. Gur-

Aiding the War Victims. 



Distressing stories have reached this 

 country of the terrible havoc caused by 

 the war amongst the gardens and or- 

 chards of Belgium, France. Poland aini 

 Serbia. With a view to lending a help- 



ing hand a fund has been instituted by 

 the Council of the Royal Horticultural 

 Society. King George has become the 

 patron of the fund, and has subscribed 

 ClOO (pounds). At present over 1:3. 000 

 has been subscribed, and further dona- 

 tions are coining in. A commissioner 

 has been dispatched by the Society to 

 Serbia, from which this country for- 

 merly received a quantity of preserved 

 fruit, to report upon the best means of 

 reviving the fruit industry after the 

 war. W. H. Adsktt.
