the smaller growing species were Lelia Dayana delicata, L. praestans and 
L. Crashleyana alba. 
Messrs. Flory & Black received a Silver Flora Medal for an excellent 
selection of Cattleyas. In C. Mimosa the flowers were of canary-yellow 
colour, the elongated lip reddish-crimson. A handsome hybrid between C. 
Kienastiana and C. Dowiana was named Dr. G. G. Macdonald, and the 
varieties of C. Hardyana alba and C. Rhoda were in fine form. Among the 
Brassocattleyas were large flowered varieties of Olympus, as well as Be. 
Rosita, this having a very pretty rose suffusion on a buff ground. Several 
Sophronitis hybrids were staged, the best being the new Slc. Cytherea and 
Sle. Antiope. 
Messrs. Cypher & Sons put upa most charming group of Foliage Plants 
and Orchids, a Gold Medal being awarded. It included a superb example 
of Cattleya Mrs. Pitt with a tall spike of twelve flowers, C. Peetersii alba, 
a pleasing variety with purple on the lip, good examples of C. Fabia, 
the pure white C. Astron, and an elegant variety of Lc. Epicaste. 
In other effective positions were several Cypripediums, of which Rossettii 
and Lord Derby were unusually well flowered, and long sprays of 
yellow Oncidiums. 
Messrs. Mansell and Hatcher were awarded a Silver Flora Medal for an 
extensive exhibit containing several fine varieties of Cattleya Iris, C. Prince 
John, and C. Eleanore, the latter with a richly-coloured lip. Brassocattleya 
Heatherwood and several fine Leliocattleyas showed to advantage, while 
in other places were various Cypripediums, including Rossetti and Maudie. 
A feature of this group was the many well-flowered plants of Odontoglossum 
grande.
