WO meetings of the Royal Horticultural Society will be held at the 
Royal Horticultural Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster, during 
June, on the 6th and zoth, when the Orchid Committee will meet at the 
usual hour, 12 o’clock noon. The following meeting will be the Great 
Summer Show, to be held at Holland House, Kensington, on July 4th, 5th, 
and 6th. 
The next meeting of the Manchester and North of England Orchid 
Society will be held at the Coal Exchange, Manchester, on June ist, 
when the Committee will meet at 12 o’clock noon. The Programme for 
the coming year is not out yet, but we are advised that the meetings will be: 
held fortnightly as far as possible during the session. 
The absence of Silver Cup awards at the Chelsea Show is noticed by a 
correspondent. We believe it is one of the economies imposed by the war, 
and must not be taken as indicating a decline in the quality of the exhibits. 
The decision not to award Cups to Nurserymen was announced at page 76, 
and the decision seems to have been extended to amateur exhibits. In fact 
there has been a general alteration in the awards, and it would appear that 
groups which in ordinary years would have secured a Silver-gilt or a Silver 
Cup have now been awarded a Williams Memorial Medal or a Silver-gilt 
Flora Medal, while other awards have been correspondingly reduced.
