Another season we would suggest a little less feeding and a temperature of about 50° at night, increasing this a little should the flowers be needed early. G. Berlin International Exhibition. The great horticultural event of the year so far was the international ex- hibition of the Prussian Horticultural Society, held in Berlin, April 2-13, dnclusive. Two large new buildings in the Zoological gardens were given over to this event, which was graced by the presence of the kaiser and the kais- erin. Probably about two-thirds of the ex- hibits, according to the London Gar- deners' Chronicle, were contributed by German exhibitors, and one-third by those of other nationalities. Altogether there were 420 exhibitors. Belgium contributed most of the fine foliage plants, including the excellent group from the Van Houtte Nurseries at Ghent. The Dutch Bulb Growers' So- ciety produced a striking color effect with their hyacinths and tulips, and Holland also exhibited a considerable quantity of vegetables and salads, which were in every respect creditable. From Prance there were choice or- chids from Lambeau, hybrid gerberas from Adnet, cinerarias from Vilmorin- Andrieux & Co., and various growers sent cut carnations, collections of fruit, vegetables and salads, which latter ex- hibits were amongst the best in the show. We may draw special attention to the hybrid gerberas. Flowers of some of the earlier hybrids have been seen at the Temple shows in London, but we have never seen such a pre- sentment of their infinite variety and beauty as that shown by Adnet. Eng- land was represented by but few ex- hibits, of which the chief were orchids from Charlesworth & Co., carnations from C. Bngelmann and G. Lange, and pelargoniums from H. Cannell & Sons.
