May, 1916.] THE ORCHID REVIEW. 135° 
As an illustration of the value of cut Orchids for decorative purposes we 
may mention that in the body of the Hall Messrs. R. F. Felton staged a 
group of five vases filled with spikes of Cymbidium Pauwelsii, and one or 
two others, with a few Odontiodas and blotched Odontoglossums. They 
were set up with Eucalyptus foliage and Asparagus plumosus, and produced 
a very graceful effect.
