Sophroljeliocattleya Prince Hirohito (Sic. Marathon X SI. Leda) r 
from Messrs. Charlesworth & Co.—Generally regarded as the finest Orchid in 
the Show. The plant carried a spike of two flowers, each six inches in 
breadth, of model proportions, the petals very broad and the tubular labellum 
widened out in neat style. The sepals orange-yellow with an over-tint of 
rose, the petals rose-crimson, most effectively ranging in degree of tint, andf 
Covered with a delicate venation of crimson, the lip darker, reddish-purple,, 
and apex of throat dark-yellow. Unquestionably the finest result yet 
produced through Sophronitis grandiflora, a small, scarlet-flowered species 
included in both sides of the parentage. Also awarded a Silver Lindley 
Medal for “ Good and Scientific Cultivation.” 
Odontoglossum crispo-Solon var. Carminetta, from Messrs. J. & 
A. McBean.—A truly wonderful flower of immense size, produced by cross- 
ing O. crispum with O. Solon (Adrianas X ardentissimum). The spike* 
carried four flowers, each possessing segments of thick texture and grand 
form, the sepals and petals carrying immense blotches of reddish-purple, the 
labellum having a similarly coloured zone of colour near the crest. 
Brassocattleya Mrs. J. Leemann (C. aurea x B. Digbyana), from 
Baron Bruno Schroder, The Dell Park, Englefield Green.—An unusually 
fine variety of lemon-yellow colour tinged with green, the large and prettily 
fringed labellum of more intense coloration, and the throat yellowish. 
Odontioda Marion Worsley, from Messrs. Armstrong & Brown.— 
The spike of this grand hybrid was not fully developed, but the three- 
flowers already opened proved it to be of extraordinary merit. The large 
petals of excellent formation and the whole flower of brilliant scarlet-red. 
Most attractive. 
Awards of Merit. 
Odontoglossum crispum Ada Evans, from Messrs. J. & A. McBean.— 
A beautifully formed flower of wide dimensions, the sepals well blotched,, 
the petals with an occasional spot of rose-purple. The spike carried four 
large blooms. 
Brassol^eliocattleya Jupiter var. Nippon, from Messrs. Charles-
