WO meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the 
Royal Horticultural Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster, during 
‘February, on the 8th and 22nd, when the Orchid Committee will meet at 
-the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. 
Meetings of the Manchester and North of England Orchid Society 
will be held at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on February 3rd and 17th. 
~The Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open to the inspection 
-of members and the public from 1 to 4 p.m. The following meeting is 
fixed for March 2nd. : 
We learn that part of the Philippine Orchids exhibited at the Panama 
_Exhibition, alluded to at page 14, will be taken by Major-Gen. Franklin 
Bell, of San Francisco, a gentleman who is much interested in Orchids. 
A photograph of Brassavola nodosa by Mr. M. J. Pope, Orchid grower 
‘to Mrs. B. B. Tuttle, Naugatuck, Conn., U.S.A., appears in Horticulture 
for December 28th. It is a very graceful Central American species. 
From the same source we learn that many choice Orchids and Roses 
were used at the wedding of President Wilson and Mrs. Galt. The corsage 
bouquet worn by the bride was of Orchids, and Cattleyas ornamented the 
wedding cake. 
THE JOURNAL OF HoRTICULTURE, we regret to learn from a note 
in its last issue, has decided to suspend publication during the period of 
the war. The Journal was originally established in 1848, by the late 
~George W. Johnson, under the title of the Cottage Gardener, and has 
enjoyed a long period of success under several able editors. 
We regret to hear of another tragedy of the war. A French Orchidist, 
who has been a subscriber to the Orchid Review for the last ten years, is 
reported as wounded and missing. His fate is still uncertain, but our 
informant states that he is believed to be either a prisoner of war in 
-Germany or dead. 
We are glad to learn that the son of M. Ch. Maron, Brunoy, France, 
who has been at the front since the beginning of the war, is safe and in 
_good health up to the present. 
We have received from Messrs. A. J. Keeling & Sons, Westgate Hill, 
Bradford, the Catalogue of the Stanshawes Court Collection of Orchids,
