A footnote at this point draws attention to the photograph of the waterlilies having become lost while being passed around at the meeting, and appeals for its return. M sent an apparently similar photograph to England some years earlier; see M to the Gardeners' chronicle , December 1893 (in this edition as 93-12-00c).
