growers pot at both times. A famous Orchid grower was wont to say that 
the more things you had in your compost, providing they were all good 
things, the more likely your plants were to grow well, and this about hits 
off a compost for Disas. To the other good things a little fibrous loam 
should not be forgotten, and a third should be sphagnum moss. Drainage 
must be ample and the compost porous and moderately firm. As thrips are 
unusually fond of Disas, the plants should be sprayed at intervals with an 
insecticide. They must not be fumigated or the leaves will be injured.

Haywards HEATH Flower SHow.—A very successful exhibition was 
held at Haywards Heath, Sussex, July roth and 2oth, when Messrs. 
Charlesworth & Co. staged a splendid group of Orchids on a large central 
table. A remarkably fine selection of species and hybrids was included, and 
the whole exhibit proved a constant attraction to the many visitors. The 
excellent examples of Odontoglossums and Odontiodas came in for much 
praise. Ona side stage this firm exhibited a large group entirely composed 
of Miltonia vexillaria and the numerous hybrids that have been produced 
from it. The range from almost pure white to the dark rose-coloured 
varieties with crimson masks was very effective. One of the most interesting 
items was the table decoration class, and the valuable practical advice given 
to the competitors by Mr. R. F. Felton after he had completed his judicial 
duties. Subsequently Mr. Felton demonstrated in a skilful manner the 
great decorative nature which Orchids possess, the making of a beautiful 
bridal bouquet of Orchids being watched with keen interest. The President's 
Challenge Cup was awarded to Messrs. Charlesworth & Co.
