Excellent stock in outdoor and ' market sorts, and in cut blooms of late forcing and field roses, was seen in abundance, including some very fine groups of pot-grown specimen- plants of polyantha and the various types of Rambler roses. The most enticing feature, as usual in late years, were orchids. Of the various collections, here brought together by well known specialists and enthusiasts, that of Otto Beyrodt showed the greatest number of varieties and was beautifully staged. J. Nicolai exhibited several hundred plants of Dendrobium nobile, all uniform- ly strong and well flowered. This has proved one of the most profitable of com- mercial orchids for years, but is likely soon to be displaced as such by Dendro- bium Wardianum, also well known here, though in smaller numbers. Doubtless the most attractive of exhibits in this class proved the collection of rare and choice specimens brought by Ch. Vuyl- steke, one of the most enthusiastic and best known of the orchid specialists. His odontoglossum hybrids at once became the center of attraction and none more so than a priceless specimen of odontioda, the result of a cross of Odontoglossum Pescatorei and Cochlioda Noetzliana. Especially worthy of note is the fact that the flowers of all varieties of orchids as here exhibited, particularly those of dendrobium, oncidium, cattleya and most other commercially valuable sorts, lasted the longest of any shown throughout the exhibition, including lilies, azaleas and hardy outdoor flowers. After eight days of exposure to heat, dust and dry air the blooms on all the orchids were in as fine a condition as when first unpacked. THE PEONY. Springfield.
