Messrs. B. S. Williams and Son, Upper Holloway, also staged an 
effective group of good things, which gained a Silver Flora Medal. It 
contained good forms of Vanda tricolor and suavis, Oncidium concolor and 
sarcodes, Calanthe veratrifolia, Anguloa Clowesii, Platyclinis latifolia, 
together with good Cattleyas, Odontoglossums, and Lelia purpurata. 
Messrs. James Backhouse & Son, York, also received a Silver Flora 
Medal for another pretty group, including Lelia lobata, some good 
L. purpurata, Dendrobium nobile, together with Cattleyas, Odontoglossums, 
Cypripediums, &c., in good condition. 
M. Ch. Vuylsteke, Loochristi, Ghent, showed three beautiful forms of 
Odontoglossum X Rolfez, of which O. x R. optimum received a First- 
class Certificate, and O. X R. ardentissimum an Award of Merit. Both 
were white spotted with purple, those of the former being larger and more 
arranged in bars. The other had the ground tinged with yellow. 
M. A. A. Peeters, St. Gilles, Brussels, staged a particularly interesting 
exhibit, namely a fine specimen of Eulophiella Peetersiana bearing a_ 
beautitul spike of twelve flowers and eight buds, for which a Cultural 
Commendation was given, also a few other fine things, which carried off no 
fewer than four Awards of Merit. These were Lzlio-cattleya x Massan- 
geana (L. tenebrosa < C. Schilleriana), L.-c- x Herode (C. X QO’ Brien- 
iana x L.-c: x elegans Turneri), Odontoglossum crispum Victoria-Regina, 
a fine form blotched with reddish purple, and O. c. Mrs. F. Peeters, richly | 
blotched with purple and the ground tinged with rose. The group also 
contained a good O. x Adriane, a brilliant form of Léelio-cattleya x 
Canhamiana, and L.-c. X Ceres (L.-c. X Phoebe x C. Mossiz). 
Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, received an Award of Merit 
for Lelio-cattleya x G. S. Ball (L. cinnabarina ¢ x C. Schroedere ¢), 
a pretty hybrid with rich orange flowers, slightly darker on the front of the 
lip. ‘ 
M. Fl. Claes, Brussels, sent a nice little group of Odontoglossum 
crispum, mostly typical forms of good shape and substance. 
Messrs. Fisher, Son, & Sibray, Handsworth Nurseries, Sheffield, had a 
good Chysis bractescens, Ansellia humilis, and a few good Cattleyas, - 
Lelia purpurata, Odontoglossums, Cypripediums, and Oncidiums, in a 
group of miscellaneous plants. 
Lastly, we noted among the groups of hardy plants many nice examples 
of hardy Cypripediums and species of Orchis, which collectively would 
have made a most interesting group, could they have been brought 
together,
