M<>nt1nn The Ri»Tliw whpn vmi writp 



while the pictures of the orchid exhibits 

 were thrown on the screen. The im- 

 mense fields of hyacinths, tulips and 

 narcissi at Lisse, Holland, were the 

 lecturer's next subject. The gorgeous- 

 uess of the views, with the highly inter- 

 esting remarks thereon, will never lie 

 forgotten. Views from the fine exhibit 

 at Ghent, Belgium, closed the Euro- 

 pean travels, and the address was con- 

 cluded with views from Mr. Vincent's 

 own productions of dahlias, in all their 

 splendor of color and form. 



A large bunch of outdoor-grown red 

 roses was presented to Mrs. Kichard 

 Vincent, .Ir. White chrysanthemums 

 were presented to all the ladies pres- 

 ent, through the courtesy of President 

 H. Doescher. The speaker was greatly 

 applauded and New Orleans was fortu- 

 nate, indeed, to have heard Mr. Vin- 

 cent's talk.
