370 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [DECEMBER,. 1914 | 
the following account of the Orchids shown. It is remarked: ‘“‘ This is 
always a free show, being located in a public institution, and the item of. 
financial support does not have any bearing upon the numerical attendance. 
Next to the specimen Chrysanthemums the feature that seemed to 
appeal most strongly to the visiting people was the Orchid section. The 
two big competitive groups of Orchids by Messrs. Julius Roehrs Co. and 
Messrs. Lager & Hurrell were superb, not only in the beauty and variety of _ 
the material composing them but in the arrangement, which was graceful 
and artistic. Another great Orchid group, in the rarity and value of the 
varieties especially, was that of Clement Moore, gardener J. Mossman. 
Jos. A. Manda also had some very worthy specimen Cattleyas and 
Oncidiums. For a novelty not before exhibited by this Society Julius 
Roehrs Company were awarded the Silver Medal for a lovely plant of 
Cattleya Fabia x C. Mantinii. The flowers are intermediate in size 
between C. labiata and C. Bowringiana, and the colour is the most intense 
deep crimson imaginable. The award list is as follows :—

ORCHIDS AT THE PHILADELPHIA EXHIBITION. 
We also learn from Horticulture that Orchids were included in the 86th 
Annual Exhibition and Chrysanthemum Show of the Pennsylvania 
Horticultural Society, which was opened in the Horticultural Hall, 
Philadelphia, on November 3rd. The Show was crowded to the doors, 
and it was the concensus of opinion, both of connoisseurs and neophytes, 
that it was the finest aggregation of chrysanthemums, foliage plants, and 
Orchids exhibited in recent years. Louis Burk’s display of Orchids, as also 
that of Alphonse Pericat were things of beauty and a joy for ever, or would 
be if such delicate blooms would last for ever, and were surrounded as usual 
by groups of admirers. 
OTHER AMERICAN EXHIBITIONS. 
At the Show of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, held at the — 
Horticultural Hall, Boston, on November 5th to 8th, we learn that ‘‘ the
