January, 1906.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 3t 
NOTES. 
Two meetings of the R.H.S. will be held at the Royal Horticultural Hall, 
Vincent Square, Westminster, during January, on the gth and 23rd, when 
the Orchid Committee will meet at the usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. 
We would remind our readers of the special Exhibitions of Orchids to 
be held through the year, as reported in full in our issue for October last 
(pp. 293-295), and further point out that the special subjects selected for 
the meeting on January gth are, Lelia anceps, varieties of the type 
(coloured), with Calanthe and Calanthe hybrids. The subject for the 
second meeting is Oncidium, and, of course, any species or hybrid of the 
genus will be eligible. 
The Manchester and North of England Orchid Society will hold 
meetings at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on January 11th and 25th. 
The Committee meets at noon, and the exhibits are open to inspection from 
I to 3 o'clock p.m. ; 
We are yet a long way from 1908, but we have already received the 
provisional Programme of the sixteenth International Horticultural 
Exhibition, or Jubilee Centenary, of the Société Royale d’Agriculture 
et de Botanique de Gard, to be held at Ghent from April 26th to May 3rd, 
1908. Classes 17 to 96 are devoted to Orchids. We shall have something 
more to say on the subject later on. 
The last volume of The Garden is very appropriately dedicated to the 
memory of the late Mr. H. G. Moon, to whom its pages are indebted for so 
many excellent paintings, of Orchids and various other plants. 
We have received for examination two beautiful paintings from Miss 
Daws, Hawkhurst, Sussex, namely Paphiopedilum callosum and what we 
take to be a form of the one known as Mrs. Canham. Both reached the 
artist under the same name, and they have been sent to us for rectification. 
The circumstance reminds us that Orchid growers are well catered for in 
the matter of illustrations, as may be seen by a glance at our advertisement 
pages. 
A reader writes:—‘‘I am greatly interested in the Orchid Review. 
There always seems something fresh to find out about Orchids.” 
We invite our readers to forward us their experiences in any branch of 
Orchid culture. Two or three interesting subjects are under discussion at 
the present time, and such discussions make for progress. Photographs of 
interesting subjects suitable for reproduction are also invited.
