. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. \nc' i;irrTLo'i ^f. VRtHCH ^tRH BKS^U (Stt Pk=:.t <30.) There was a collection of succulents in all their old and fantastic shapes from Ilovey & Co., and a similar lot from Mr, Manda. Mr. Manda's exhibit of specimen plants was the largest in the hall, and was especially noticeable for the splen- did ferns and selaginellas, which formed a large part of it. .\ pan of Nephrolepis davallioides, eight feet across, also Ne- phrolepis davallioides furcans, Selagi- nella caulescens, S. ctesia arborea and .\diantum trapeziforme, St. Catharina, were among the best. Mr. Manda also showed the finest plant ever seen here of Dichorisandra vittata. Thos. Clarke's was rich in variegated leaved plants, notably cro- tons, on which he took first prize. These were richly colored, and the plants averaged six feet in height. One of the most graceful and effective plants in the hall was Kentia Balmoreana, from Geo. Nickerson. Mr. Nickerson's display of decorative plants was superb, and in- cluded such gems as .Alocasia macro- rhiza, Anthurium crystallinum, Dieffen- bachia imperator, Phcenix rupicola, PhyllotiL-nium Lindeui and crotons. Caladiums, which w^ere formerly to be seen in these exhibitions in great pro- fusion and variety, were noticeable prin- cipally for their absence. .Are they going out of fashion ?

Savage, Rochester ; Klias A. Long, Buffalo ; W. S. Hogg and Geo. Johnson, Providence, and others. Wm. J. Stewart. Notes and Comments.
