The opening meeting of the session of the Kew Gardeners’ Mutual Im- 
provement Society was held on Monday, October 15th, the subject being 
“A Talk about Orchids,” by Mr. R. A. Rolfe, A.L.S. 
We have to thank an old correspondent across the water for a highly 
complimentary letter respecting the Orchid Review, and he concludes: 
‘‘ May the weight of years burden you but little in your good work. Finally, 
when we have that peace which we all crave, commemorate with a coloured 
plate each month, even if the cost goes to war prices.” The question ofa 
coloured plate has several times been raised, and we have no doubt it would 
be highly popular, as so many remarkable and beautiful hybrids are con- 
stantly being raised, and nothing short of colour can do justice to the 
subject. But will not some of our wealthy Orchidists step in and make 
such a thing possible ?
