emple Show of 1898.—The eleventh 
great annual exhibition on the Thames 
Embankment, inaugurated by the Royal 
Horticultural Society, cannot on this 
occasion be described as larger than in any 
previous year, for it reached the impassable 
limit some years ago. The Inner Temple 
Gardens are of moderate extent, and the 
Benchers cannot allow any more tents or 
larger ones to be put up. There were 105 
exhibitors, however, against 83 last year, 
which is evidence in itself of advancement. 
What falling away there may be in some 
directions is more than made up in another. 
The greater number of exhibitors means 
that some of the former ones have had their 
space reduced, so as to admit the extra 22. 
The staging ran to 12,000 sq. ft., but over 
three times this amount was applied for 
some time ago. The gangways under can¬ 
vas were more extensive than the staging 
space; but this is always an absolute 
necessity at the Temple Shows, in order to 
accommodate the vast concourse of people 
which congregates during each of the three 
days to inspect a display which is difficult 
to realise without having seen it. If other 
evidence were needed of the growing popu¬ 
larity of the society and its general progress, 
it need only be mentioned that 325 fellows, 
and 2 associates have already joined it this 
year, with the prospect of a great many 
more before the end of the season, while 
12 provincial societies have become affili¬ 
ated with it. Various alterations were 
made in the arrangements of some of the 
tents to meet the differences in the nature 
of the exhibits, so that the show was by no 
means a repetition of last year. 
The Orchids were not so numerous as we 
have seen them, but the deficency in num¬ 
bers was quite made up in the better quality 
of the useful and most decorative kinds— 
a tribute we should impute to the cultiva¬ 
tor. Many regretted the absence of Baron 
Sir Henry Schroder, who does not exhibit 
every year ; but the superb exhibit of the 
president, Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., was 
in its usual good form. The amateur 
element was further supported by fine ex¬ 
hibits from Earl Percy, Sir Frederick 
Wigan, Bart.,W.Thompson, Esqr., Ludwig 
Mond, Esqr., H.S. Leon, Esqr., and others
