NOTES. 
Two Meetings of the R.H.S. will be held at the Royal Horticultural Hall, 
Vincent Square, Westminster, during March, on the 5th and 19th, when 
the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. The 
following meeting will be held on April 2nd, on which date a lecture will 
be given at 3 p.m. on Hybrid Orchids and their parents, illustrated by 
lantern slides. 
The Report of the Council for the year remarks, when speaking of the 
progress of the Society’s new garden at Wisley:—‘‘ A contribution of 
Orchids has been presented to the gardens by W. A. Bilney, Esq., J.P., 
George Bunyard, Esq., V.M.H., Major Holford, C.I.E., C.V.O., Sit 
Trevor Lawrence, Bart., V.M.H., J. S. Moss, Esq., and F. Wellesley, 
Esq., J.P. It will form the nucleus of, it is hoped, a far larger collection 
in a few years to come.” This is quite reminiscent of old times, and 
Orchidists will now be able to find some attractions at Wisley. 
In the annual statement of Revenue and Expenditure we note that the 
sum of £57 19s. od. has been expended for painting Orchid pictures, this 
of course referring to the Orchids certificated during the year, of which the 
Society has now such a fine collection. 
We note with interest the announcement of a second lecture on Orchids 
in the R.H.S.’s arrangements, the subject being ‘‘ Lesser known Orchids,” 
illustrated with lantern slides. The lecturer is Mr. F. W. Moore, V.M.H., 
of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin. 
Meetings of the Manchester and North of England Orchid Society will 
be held at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on March 7th and 21st. The
