FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATES. 
Odontonia Baroness Schréder (M. Bleuana X O. The Czar), from 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. One of the finest hybrids yet seen of the 
genera Odontoglossum and Miltonia. The young plant carried a spike of 
five flowers, in which all the segments were flatly displayed, sepals and 
petals rose tinted and blotched with reddish-crimson on their inner area, 
the expansive labellum blotched and prettily freckled with reddish tints. 
Dendrobium Gatton Monarch var. F. J. Hanbury (D. Lady Golman X 
D. nobile var. A. A. Pearson), from F. J. Hanbury, Esq., Brockhurst, East 
Grinstead (gr. Mr. Matthews). A remarkably fine result in which all the 
good qualities seen in D. Lady Colman are perpetuated, as well as those of 
the second parent, this being a fine variety of the nobile nobilius section. 
The finely developed bulb carried six flowers and buds, all the segments 
well above the usual size, suffused with purple-rose, the broad labellum 
bearing a deep maroon-coloured blotch, surrounded by a whitish area, and 
the margin tinged with rose. 
AWARD OF MERIT. 
Odontoglossum Purple Queen (percultum Xx Dusky Monarch), from 
J. J- Bolton, Esq., Claygate, Surrey (gr. Mr. S. Lyne). A very handsome 
hybrid, the erect spike carrying four large flowers of deep rose-purple 
colour, and with a reddish overtint ; a narrow white margin to the sepals 
and petals adds to its beauty; the labellum white at the apex, and with a 
prominent yellow crest at the base.
