Bulbous Plants. 



Amaryllis are well shown by Mrs. D. 

 Willis James, but are fewer in number 

 this year than last. Lilies from Louis 

 Dupuy, with a base of Cyrtomium 

 Rochfordianum, are splendid. Roehrs' 

 lily of the valley is fine, as is that 

 from Howard Gould, Wm. Vert, gar- 

 dener. Anton Schultheis has a mag- 

 nificent lot of hyacinths, narcissi and 

 tulips, models of cultural skill. The 

 Darwin tulips shown by several exhibi- 

 tors had been staked up straight and 

 all their beauty is lost. Hyacinths are 

 fine. The prize-winning varieties are 

 (irand Maitre, King of the Blues, 

 Queen of the Blues, La Victoire, La 

 Grandesse and Etna. Narcissi and 

 early tulips are exceptionally good. 

 Wm. Duckham 's first prize group of 

 spring bulbs is finely set up. Geo. B. 

 Schlegel's silver medal group of callas 

 is worthy of note. Freesias shown in- 

 clude many of the new colored varie- 

 ties. The awards in full were:

The Orchid Qroups. 



Fine as the orchids were in 1913, the 

 showing this year is better in every 

 w*y,. more plants, better plants and a 

 greater variety being in evidence. 

 Among cut orchids Joseph Mania's 

 collection is a splendid one. The 

 groups are, as usual, beautifully staged, 

 many new and choice varieties being 

 included. Julius Roehrs Co. has a 

 superb collection, full of choice vari- 

 eties. Lager & Hurrell show a nice 

 group. In the center Is a mirror re- 

 sembling water, on which floats an imi- 

 tation raft containing orchid cases. At 

 the rear is a painting of a scene at 

 Rio Bache, in southern Colombia. W. 

 A. Manda also is a large exhibitor. 

 G. B. Schlegel's group of Caitleya spe- 

 ciosissima contains many fibe forms. 

 A. N. Cooley has, among other gems.
