The Orchid Groups. 



The orchid display was the largest 

 and finest ever seen at an exhibition in 

 America. It was givea a section of the 

 hall apart from other exhibits and was 

 one of the notable features of the show. 

 There was only one exhibitor for the 

 group covering 200 square feet, but the 

 award of first prize to Julius Roehrs 

 Co., Eutherford, was well deserved. In 

 the class for commercial groups cover- 

 ing fifty feet Lager & Hurrell, Summit, 

 N. J., were first. In the private gar- 

 deners' groups Arthur Cooley, J. R. 

 Mossman and S. G. Milosy were well
