Meptano Tbe Review wben you write 



routine business over, the display of 

 flowers was discussed. 



J. A. Newsham had one of the finest 

 and best grown collections of flowering 

 plants and ferns ever shown at the 

 society's meetings at this time of the 

 year. Most noteworthy were his cat- 

 tleyas and a collection of hybrid 

 eypripediums in bloom. Among the lat- 

 ter was/a "fine plant of C. Fairieanum, 

 known ®s the lost orchid, which is still 

 rare and valuable among collectors. 

 His Lorraine begonias, poinsettias, 

 azaleas, Adiantum Farleyense and 

 A. ' hybridum all made a, fine showing. 

 Richard Eichling, focefban of U. J. 

 Virgin's nursery, exhibited the follow- 

 ing: A large pan of poinsettias, 

 azaleas. Phoenix Roebelenii, Nephrolepis 

 Bo$toniensis, Selaginella Emmeliana 

 and Davallia Fijiensis plumosa. The 

 plants were in robust, clean growth 

 and the specimen davallia was espe- 

 cially admired. 



Abele Bros, brought a Begonia Lor- 

 raine and a Dracaena Mandaiana, both 

 grown to perfection. 



C. W. Eichling showed a well grown 

 Lilium giganteum, two bulbs in a 7- 

 inch pot, with seven perfect open 

 flowers. He makes quite a specialty of 

 these showy plants and has them in 

 bloom nearly all the year around. 



J. St. Mard's poinsettias were fine in 

 foliage and flowers. 



The only exhibit of cut flowers was 

 made by the Metairie Ridge Nursery 

 Co., of which Harry Papworth is presi- 

 dent. It comprised the following varie- 

 ties of roses, in vases of fifty blooms 

 each: American Beauty, KiUarney, 

 White KiUarney, My Maryland, Kai- 

 serin, Chateau de Clos de Vougeot, Rich- 

 mond, Mrs. Jardine, Bride, Bridesmaid, 

 W. R. Smith and Rhea Reid. The flow- 

 ers, stems and foliage of these roses 

 were perfect and this beautiful exhibit 

 won the highest praise from all pres- 

 ent, Harry Dressel, who had charge of 

 it, accepted the honors bestowed upon 

 him in his usual modest way. During 

 the time he has had charge of the rose 

 department of the Metairie Ridge Nur- 

 sery he has proved that with skill and 

 proper observation of our soil and sub- 

 tropical climate great results in rose 

 growing for cut flowers can be obtained. 

 After the discussion of the exhibits,

Mention The Review when vou write 



C. W. Eichling deplored that they could 

 not be seen by the people of the city 

 and thereby be of great material bene- 

 fit to the different growers. He made a 

 motion to give an exhibition on similar 

 lines as the one at the meeting during 

 the latter part of January, and invite 



the public to view it free of charge. 

 His idea was approved by all and the 

 following committee was appointed to 

 secure a suitable place in which to hold 

 it: C. W. Eichling, P. A. Chopin, J. 

 A. Newsham and C. R. Panter.
