Our American contemporary, Horticulture, under the heading, California

blooms to San Francisco for the Christmas trade.” Their origin is not 
stated. Ata meeting of the Pacific Coast Horticultural Society held on 
January 2nd, ‘“‘the exhibit of the evening was one of Oncidium splendidum, 
brought by the MacRorie-MacLaren Co., which was rated at 99 points.” 
We also learn that the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at its first 
meeting of the year awarded to E. B. Dane a silver medal for a beautiful 
specimen Cattleya Trianz alba, and to Donald MacKenzie, gardener to 
Mr. Dane a cultural certificate for a plant of Chysis aurea bearing eight 
flowers. Cymbidium Gottianum (eburneum x insigne) from the same 
exhibitor was much admired. On the exhibition table were some lovely 
Orchid groups. F. J. Dolansky was represented by a large group of Cattleya 
Trianz, including the white form. Col. Chas. Pfaff (gr. George Melvin) 
staged a superb specimen of Lelia anceps bearing 22 spikes of flowers.
