THE JANUARY EXHIBITION 



An exhibition of plants and flowers was held in the West 

 Assembly Hall, American Museum of Natural History, on Satur- 

 day, the seventeenth, from i to 5. The schedule offered premiums 

 for orchids, carnations, and sweet peas. There was a fine display 

 of orchids and carnations, with keen competition in some of the 

 carnation classes. The premiums for sweet peas also brought 

 out some interesting exhibits. Following is a list of the prize 

 winners. 



For a Cattleya plant the first prize went to Mr. Clement Moore, 

 of Hackensack, N. J., J. P. Mossman, gardener. Mrs. H. I. Pratt, 

 of Brooklyn, A. J. Manda, gardener, took the first prize for a 

 Cypripedium plant, Mr. C. G. Roebling, Trenton, N. J., J. W. 

 Goodier, gardener, second. For a plant of any other orchid Mr. 

 C. G. Roebling secured first, Mrs. Pratt second. A fine hybrid 

 orchid plant gave the first prize to Mr. Clement Moore in that 

 class, the second going to Mr. Roebling. The judges had diffi- 

 culty in deciding upon the first-prize winner for a collection of cut 

 orchids, finally awarding it to Mr. Roebling, the second to Mr. 

 Moore. A fine display of cut Cypripediums won for Mr. Roeb- 

 ling the first in that class. 



There were no entries in the open-to-all class for a vase of 

 carnations. There was, however, a fine display of carnations in 

 the other classes, confined to non-commercial growers. For three
