The Orchids. 



The schedule for orchid plants was 

 divided into two sections, one for com- 

 mercial growers and one for gardeners, 

 but the display deserves to be treated 

 as a whole. Meritorious as were the 

 specimen plants entered in the various 

 classes as for the appended prize list, 

 the groups were the special feature. 

 Largest , of these was that of Louis 

 Burk, gardener for C. Wurst, of Olney. 

 This was staged in the English sty4e, 

 against a 10-foot rockery wall. Com- 

 posed chiefly of cattleyas, it was one 

 of the exhibits that in any previous 

 show would have been considered a 

 milestone. Squarely in front of the 

 main entrance a pyramidal group em- 

 bracing a large number of species was 

 staged by J. Goodier, gardener for C. G. 

 Roebling, Trenton, N. J. 



Of the commercial men's orchid 

 groups that of Julius Boehrs Co., 

 Rutherford, N. J., easily was first.
