322 THE ORCHID REVIEW. [NovEMBER, 1915. 
triumphans have purple in the sepals and petals it was just the cross likely 
to succeed, in fact, C. Dowiana and C. Rex are very nearly allied in every 
respect, and their union resulted in the brilliant C. triumphans, whose 
portrait is given at page 313. Cattleya King-George was unanimously 
awarded a First-class Certificate, and it now remains to make further 
experiments in the same direction. 
Another Seedling Commendation was awarded at the R.H.S. meeting 
held on October 12th last, the recipient being a handsome Odontoglossum 
raised by Messrs. Armstrong & Brown, and called O. Victory, the parentage 
being given as O. crispum The Baroness X seedling unrecorded. As to its 
general character reference may be made to the description given on page 
340, and its beauty is beyond dispute, but we regret that for the present it 
must find a place in the ranks of the doubtfuls. The difficulty in this case 
‘seems to come from the second parent, and whether the parentage of this 
could be made out by comparison remains to be proved when its identity is 
indicated. As to the seedling itself it may be interesting to give the 
following cutting from the daily press :— 
““THE WHITE ORCHID. 
“ One of the outstanding features at the show of the Royal Horticultural 
‘Society at the Horticultural Hall, Westminster, yesterday, was a seedling 
‘Orchid of the Odontoglossum variety, and named Odontoglossum Victory. 
It has been produced by Messrs. Armstrong & Brown, Sandhurst Park, 
‘Tunbridge Wells, who declared that they would not part with it for £300. 
‘The Orchid is a finely-formed white flower, blotched with light brown, 
and represents a great advance on anything previously seen. A great 
‘Orchid expert says: ‘ The balance of the segments is absolutely perfect.’ ” 
A final note under the same heading may also be preserved, though it 
‘does not refer to the Odontoglossum. 
“ Another novel exhibit was Lelia Pumil alba, a pure white Orchid 
exhibited by Messrs. Flory & Black, Slough. The percentage of white 
‘Orchids produced is one in 50,000.” , 
Another interesting innovation appeared at the last meeting of the 
R.H.S. Plants are sometimes passed over by the Orchid Committee 
because a certificate has already been awarded, and the point is not 
always appreciated by exhibitors. An attempt is now being made to 
remedy this, by affixing a label to the plant stating that a First-class 
Certificate or an Award of Merit, as the case may be, has already been 
given. To this end a number of enamelled labels have been prepared, 
to be attached to the plant for the duration of the meeting, and which
