May, 1923] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 153 
were noticed, and a fine example of Bifrenaria Harrisoniz received much 
attention. Cypripediums included robust plants of Maudiz and Jas. H. 
Veitch. Several elegant Odontoglossums, the fine Oncidium McBeanianum 
and various Miltonias occupied the front rows. Od. cordatum, Low’s 
variety, the darkest form known, and Dendrobiums in variety were in fine 
condition. 
Mons. Ch. Vuylsteke exhibited a splendid selection of Odontiodas, 
probably the best being Cardinal Mercier with a spike of twelve rose- 
magenta coloured flowers. Others were Othello, with bold scarlet blotches 
and Pomone, with a spike of ten flowers tinged with bright rose on the 
inner parts of the segments. Albert 1 was a large flower having rich 
scarlet blotches, while another named Baron Ruzette had blotches of red 
on all the segments. Although progress in improving Odontiodas is now 
effected more slowly, this group proved that finality has by no means been 
reached. 
Messrs. A. & G. Janssens were awarded the rst Prize for the best collection 
of thirty Orchids. They staged Odontoglossum Lawrenceanum, with a 
fine spike of twenty-five flowers, Cymbidium Pauwelsii var. Yellow Prince, 
several well-flowered Odontiodas, Miltonias in variety, and Cattleya 
Suzanne Hye de Crom. This firm also exhibited twenty-five excellent 
examples of Cypripedium Maudie, one having five flowers. 
Messrs. Bier & Ankersmit had an extensive group of Cymbidium insigne 
and its hybrids. The plants were excellent examples of successful 
cultivation, and came in for much appreciation. In the centre was C. 
insigne Bieri, a grand variety with a spike of fourteen flowers, tinged with 
rose-pink and having the lip unusually well marked with crimson. 
Mons. René Behiels received the rst Prize for the best lot of twenty-five 
Dendrobiums, which consisted of grand plants of D. Wardianum that had 
been under cultivation for about fourteen years. The bulbs were three to 
four feet in height and carried numerous flowers. Mons. Behiels also 
received the 3rd Prize for a collection of fifty Orchids.
