JuNE, 1917-] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 139 
Mr. C. F. Waters, Balcombe, staged a group of about twenty 
Dendrobiums, including examples of D. Rolfee, D. Apollo grandiflorum, 
D. nobile virginale and Cooksonianum, D. Salteri X Rolfez, a charming 
thing most resembling the latter, a fine D. Perfection, and others (Silver 
Banksian Medal). 
Messrs. Stuart Low & Co., Jarvisbrook, sent Cymbidium Diana flava, 
with primrose yellow flowers, and Brassocattleya speciosa grandis, a large 
lilac-coloured form. 
The following meeting was held on May 22nd in the London Scottish 
Drill Hall, and brought together an increased number of exhibits, which 
somewhat restricted the amount of floor space, and at times left hardly 
enough room for the visitors present. This meeting would, under ordinary 
conditions, have been the usual three days’ Show at Chelsea, and the 
groups, though greatly reduced in size, indicated to some extent what 
might have been attempted under normal circumstances, though nothing in 
the way of the usual artistic grouping could be attempted. The Orchid 
awards consisted of six medals, but individual plants brought before the 
Orchid Committee were few in number, and only one Award of Merit and 
one Preliminary Commendation were given. 
Orchid Committee present:—Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart. (in the 
Chair), J. O’Brien (hon. sec.), Sir Harry J. Veitch, Arthur Dye, R. G. 
Thwaites, Gurney Wilson, R. A. Rolfe, F. J. Hanbury, Pantia Ralli, E. R. 
Ashton, T. Armstrong, Stuart H. Low, J. Cypher, H. G. Alexander, J. E. 
Shill, A. McBean, J. Charlesworth, Walter Cobb, C. J. Lucas, R. Brooman 
White, S. W. Flory, and W. Bolton.
