Barker, Gurney Wilson, J. Wilson Potter, H. H. Smith, H. G. Alexander, 
W. J. Kaye, C. J. Lucas, Stuart Low and C. H. Curtis. 
FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATES. 
Cymbidium Merlin, Westonbirt var. (Dryad X Alexanderi), from Lieut.- 
Col. Sir George Holford, K.C.V.O., Westonbirt (gr. Mr. H. G. Alexander). 
This plant carried a spike of six flowers, in shape and colour resembling 
those of Eulophiella Peetersiana. The broad segments of rose colour, with 
a zone of similar colour round the margin of the lip, the central area of 
which is yellow ; the column dark rose-purple. 
Odontoglossum Llewellyn (amabile <X Georgius Rex), from H. T. Pitt, 
Esq., Rosslyn, Stamford Hill (gr. Mr. Thurgood). A remarkably fine result 
both in excellence of formation and in the rich coloration. A Preliminary 
Commendation had been previously given to this plant, but on the present 
occasion the two flowers secured for it the higher award. All the segments 
above the average size, round in shape, and nearly covered with ruby-claret 
blotching; the lip is prettily crisped, and has a dark maroon coloured disc 
beneath the crest. 
AWARDS OF MERIT. 
Odontonia Dora (M. Bleuana X O. Dora), from Messrs. Charlesworth 
& Co. An exceedingly pretty hybrid, thesepals and petals tinged with 
rose and blotched with a deeper shade; the expansive labellum takes more 
after the Miltonia parent, and is effectively marked with ruby freckling on a 
rose-pink ground. The spike carried seven flowers. 
Cymbidium insigne rhodochilum, from Messrs. Sanders. A fine variety of 
outstanding merit, the tall spikes carrying numerous flowers of a pleasing 
rose-tint, but the labellum entirely coloured ruby-red, and spotted with 
dark crimson. 
Cymbidium insigne var. St. Andre, from Messrs. Sanders. Another 
very distinct variety of this handsome species, the colour, especially on the 
labellum, being much more intense than in the type. 
GROUPS. 
Messrs. Sanders were awarded a Gold Medal for an extensive group 
containing a fine selection of Cymbidiums, including the new Adonis 
(Coningsbyanum xX Pauwelsii), with a spike of twelve flowers, cream 
coloured with greenish shading, the lip lined and spotted with crimson- 
Also Cymbidium Nelly, C. Redstart, C. Landrail, and C. Pauwelsii. 
Among the Dendrobiums were fine examples of Wiganiz, nobile and 
Cybele, as well as the scarce atroviolaceum. In the back row were 
many-flowered spikes of Oncidium Cavendishianum, and in the front the 
smaller O. pulchellum. Several specimens of Cattleya Suzanne Hye de 
Crom, as well as C. Empress Frederick alba and C. Tityus were in 
prominent places. Cochlioda rosea and Xylobium leontoglossum were
