Pennsylvania Horticultural Society #1

The August meeting of this Society afforded few objects of special interest, - when we say that on the whole it was an improvement on the usual August exhibitions, we say a great deal in its favor. A very fine and well bloomed specimen of Begonia xanihtna, however attracted much attention from its peculiar color. This is a stove species of the sub herbaceous class, throwing up scapes of pale yellow flowers. Clerodendron Kaempferi, of which there were several very fine specimens, though very like others known as fallax, specioisssima, etc., is probably the best of them all, and a very showy stove plant.

In the class of new or rare plants we noticed yriesia splendent, a plant of the Pine apple family, with black variegated leaves, and a flattened scape of purplish flowers about one foot high. Pandanus javanicus fol. var. was exhibited for its foliage, which is variegated in a manner similar to the well known Ribbon grass. An orchid, Phaijus albus, though exhibited before, is seldom seen here; it has pure white flowers, but does not seem so abundant a bloomer as the other well known species. There were other orchids exhibited, amongst which one marked Stanhopea crispa, probably a variety only of S. Wardii, with six expanded flowers suspended from a block, was the most interesting.

On the fruit tables there appeared amongst the very fine things exhibited, nothing new or calling for special remark. The "Orange Water-Melon," with a very thin rind, which it is said will peel off like an orange, was shown, the fruit being about half the ordinary size of water melons. Amongst the Pears, the Beurre Giffard, Julienne, and Bloodgood, were among the best exhibited.
