JANUARY, 1913-] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 3 
majority in the coming year, will continue to flourish for many years to 
come.”’—Gardeners’ Chronicle. 
‘With the December issue of the Orchid Review the twentieth volume is 
completed, and to commemorate the event the January issue will be an 
enlarged and special number. It has been decided to act upon the proposal 
made in the November number to prepare a general index. This is as it 
should be, for such a publication as this, which aims at covering ‘every 
phase of Orchidology, in all probability is deemed worthy of a cover as each 
successive volume is completed.”—Journal of Horticulture. 
THE OrcHID Review.—This monthly journal of Orchidology is now 
entering its twenty-first year. The first issue appeared in January, 1893, 
when it was established to supply a long-felt want among amateurs of 
Orchids, viz., a journal devoted to their special interests. Every branch of 
Orchidology, including cultivation, evolution, structural peculiarities, 
natural distribution, and the vexed question of hybrid nomenclature, has 
been discussed and continues to be discussed in the pages of the Orchid 
Review. The importance of this extremely useful work is fully recognised 
and appreciated by Orchid experts, and while wishing it every success in 
the future, we take this opportunity of congratulating Mr. R. A. Rolfe, 
A.L.S., the Editor, on the success he has achieved.—The Garden. 
‘‘ Many congratulations upon the completion of the twentieth volume of 
the Orchid Review. My wife and I find the work an invaluable record, to 
which we constantly refer, and the proposed index for the whole of the 
volumes will be very acceptable as a time saver. I join with a large 
number of others in wishing many years of useful life to the Orchid Review 
and its esteemed Editor.”—R. G. Tuwalres, Chessington, Streatham Hill. 
‘‘The Orchid Review has reached the twentieth year of its existence, an 
age when one naturally expects better things, and I can only hope that the 
promise of youth and the care which you and others have bestowed upon it 
may be well repaid by a successful career in the future. There are days in 
which one has little time to call one’s own, but I always manage to find 
time to peruse the pages of the Orchid Review.”’—-SIR JEREMIAH COLMAN, 
Bart., Gatton Park, Reigate.
