Bulbous Plants. 



Ainanilia are well shown by Mrs. D. 

 Willis Janiea, but are fewer in number 

 this year than last. Lilies from Louis 

 Dujiuy, with a base of Cyrtomium 

 Kochfordianum, 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 

 ail their beauty is lost. Hyacinths are 

 fine. The ]>ri/.e-winning varieties are 

 (irand Maitre, King of the Blues, 

 (^ueen 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 Groups. 



Fine as the orchids were in 1913, the 

 showing this year is better in every 

 way, more plants, better plants and a 

 greater variety being in evidence. 

 Among cut orchids Joseph Manda 's 

 collection is a splendid one. The 

 groups are, as usual, beautifully staged, 

 many new and choice varieties being 

 included. .lulius 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 Caltleya spe- 

 ciosissima contains many fine forms. 

 A. N. Cooley has, among other gems,
