CURRENT TOPICS. 
j^HE Temple Show. —Most cordially can we 
^ congratulate the Council of the Royal 
Horticultural Society upon the delightful 
weather which this year accompanied their 
Temple Show. It was a narrow escape, per¬ 
haps, as the next day threatened ill for a show 
under canvas. So far, however, all was well. 
IVe may also congratulate the many high- 
spirited members of the horticultural trade 
who sent up shell large and superb collections 
of plants and flowers, and made up, undoubt¬ 
edly, what was without exception the finest 
trade display ever seen in London or elsewhere. 
It must not be regarded as any slur upon the 
society that it was so largely a trade show, 
though rve do regret that nothing was dons to 
bring out the productions of the gardener and 
the amateur proper. It is true that in the 
Orchid department the honours were not wholly 
with the trade, for a few private growers did 
nobly help to make up a magnificent bank of 
flowers, such as fairly bewildered the uninitiated 
by their variety and beauty. 
If there was a fault at all to be found in the 
Orchid department, it was the wondrous variety 
of form and species, shown in so mixed a fashion 
'that it was difficult to understand not only 
who’s was who’s, but also what was what. If 
the wondrous bulk of Orchids brought together 
could only have been displayed on double the 
area allotted, and with the aid of foliage plants 
and Ferns specially isolating the various col¬ 
lections, and the different families, again, in 
each group, the result would have been at once 
an Orchid as well as an artistic display—second 
to none other yet seen at any time. Probably, 
few flowers lend themselves more to artistic 
grouping, but few, as ordinarily shown, are so 
treated. 
?khe Fringe’s Visit. —The presence of the 
^ Prince of Wales at a flower show of the 
Royal Horticultural Society, after a lapse of 
some years, is tin event which cannot well be-
