and named Z. Roeblingianum. It is about the prettiest of all the 
Zygopetalums we have seen and has large flowers (certificate). 
A new dwarf ivy from the Caucasian Mountains was shown by 
Mr. J. H. Troy. It is a plant attaining a height of only a few 
inches and makes a very acceptable subject for a pan. Its color 
is a dull brown-green (certificate). 
Tritoma crocata was shown by Mr. J. L. Childs, Floral Park, 
The growth of interest in this class is a very satisfactory 
sign. 
The wild flower class was well filled and a remarkable display 
was made. The Bedford Agassiz Association was easily first, as 
last year, and Miss S. E. Close was second. 
In the orchid class there was no competition, owing to the 
severe handling that the exhibit of Lager & Hurrell had under- 
gone by the express company. Messrs. Siebrecht & Son had 
better fortune; their plants were in fine condition and received 
the first prize. 
This firm was a large exhibitor and won firsts for groups of 
crotons, of palms and other foliage plants, ferns, begonias, and 
for foliage and flowering plants, etc., very materially adding to 
the general effect of the show. 
F. Weinberg, Woodside, N. Y., had a large and interesting lot 
of cacti, including a hybrid Opuztia, and won the first honor in 
the class for those plants; he also took first for rockery and 
Alpine plants, and second on begonias. 
In the display of flowering trees and shrubs Mr. W. H. S. 
Wood, Greenwich, Conn. (gardener for A. L. Martin), won an 
easy first with a remarkably representative collection, Messrs. 
Siebrecht being second. 
A fine display of cut orchids also came from Mr. Roebling 
who had some vandas and other Philippine orchids and several 
rare Cypripcdiums. 
At the annual meeting of the Society twenty members were 
elected. The report of the Secretary showed that the Society 
was in a most gratifying financial condition having accumulated 
about $1,000 in invested funds. The total membership now 
amounts to 201.
