NOTES FROM ENGLAND. 



A record sale of orchids, so far as 

 high prices go, was recently held by 

 Protheroe & Morris at their salesrooms 

 in Cheapside, £5,340 being received for a 

 lot of only 122 plants. Odontoglossum 

 Pittianum, a plant with three bulbs and 

 only two with leaves, brought slightly 

 above £120. For Odontoglossum crispum 

 F. K. Sander, with only one bulb and one 

 growth, £840 was obtained. For an 

 Odontoglossum crispum Abner 'Hassell, 

 with four bulbs, just under £50 Avas i)aid, 

 while an Odontoglossum crispum Per- 

 simmon with three bulbs was knocked 

 <lown for a few shillings over £30. For 

 Odontoglossum crispum Pittiae and O^ 

 crispum Fcarnly Sander £420 and £315 

 Avas realizeil, the latter with only one old 

 bulb. Quite a number of other types of 

 odontoglossum made between £70 an<l 

 £100 each. The plants were from the well 

 known Rosslyn collection of H. T. Pitt. 

 Sales of orchids in England have been 

 very common of late, but such prices as 

 described above are not of frequent occur- 

 rence and when such higli prices are 

 maintained throughout tlie sale, it is a 

 sure sign of better times for trade gen- 

 erally. 



Speaking of orchids, advantage has 

 l)een taken by a west end florist of the 

 fact of Ar. Chamberlain's propensity to 

 always wear an orchid in his buttonhole, 

 .-ind when Mr. Balfour also wore ati orchid 

 during his campaign, the florist referred 

 to displayed a buttonliole made up of 

 dendrobium and fern with a caril at- 

 tached "As worn by Mr. Balfour and 

 Mr. Chamberlain." 



A very distinct and new variety of 

 Freesia refracta is recorded, tlie color a 

 purple violet with white throat and a 

 blotch of yellow at the base similar to 

 the old variety of freesia. It is said 

 to ])roduce one-third more Idooms on a 

 spike. As a novelty and pot plant it 

 will be useful and enji.y a certain 

 amount of popularity, Init the color is 

 entirely against it competing with the 

 ohl Freesia refracta alba as a cut blogm. 

 A to us new variety of carnation of 

 the American section is being introduced 

 to the English trade by A. F. Button, 

 Iver, Bucks, in Nelson Fisher. Mr. Dut- 

 ton has a grand collection of American 

 carnations and makes a commercial spe- 

 cialty of them. He was one of the first 

 to take up their culture in England on 

 a large scale, and is also now disposing

of a considerable quantity of young 

 plants of leading sorts to other market 

 iiicii in Kngland. 



Prict^ of out bulbous stock are keeping 

 up better than was generally consideretl 

 they Avould. Huge quantities are coming 

 in frotn the Channel Isles, Lincolnshire 

 and other growing centers. The supply 

 is probably somewhat larger than pre- 

 vious years, but taken on the whole prices 

 are more satisfactory. Jt is noticeable 

 that both early forcers and outdoor 

 growers cultivate hardly any other sorts 

 than tlie heavy and the large growing 

 narcissi, such as Emperor, Sir Watkin, 

 Ciolden Npur, etc. Of course poeticus is 

 an ex<-eption. Such sorts as the Leedsii 

 type are hardly ever seen in the markets 

 and what few there are generally make 

 high prices. No variety is better adapted 

 for forcing than ^frs. Langtry. It can 

 easily lie iiad in bloom in January and 

 is })articularly free flowering; as many 

 as five to seven blooms can be had from 

 a .single first-class bulb. This sort would 

 ])r()ve a profitable market variety if used 

 in larger quantities and would Vie a great 

 change from the everlasting yellow and 

 suljihur trumpets. J. B.

The "see<l special" is an institution 

 of the western railroads to demonstrate 

 to the farmer how best to cultivate his 

 land. These trains are maintained by 

 nearly all the western lines, but the idea 

 that they could be useful in the east has 

 only just dawned. The Boston & Maine 

 is the first eastern line to equip a farm- 

 ers' special, a train of five cars, which 

 is to be sent tlirough Massachusetts, Ver- 

 mont, New Hampshire and Maine.
