THE MANCHESTER SHOW. 
THE Annual Whitsuntide Show of the Royal Botanical and Horticultural 
Society of Manchester, was held at the Old Trafford Gardens on May 31st 
and four following days, when the display of Orchids was above the average, 
and generally considered as the best which the Society has brought 
together. The exhibits staged not for competition, mostly by the trade, were 
very extensive, and contained a large number of striking forms of well-known 
species, as well as several recent introductions and rarities of great merit. 
The competitive classes, as usual, attracted a good deal of interest, and the 
prizes were awarded as follows :— 
For the best miscellaneous collection of Orchids in bloom, limited to 
amateurs, the first prize was taken by E. Ashworth, Esq., Haretield Hall, 
Wilmslow (gr. Mr. Holbrook), who staged a large and brilliant group of 
well-grown specimens. It contained some fine Cattleyas and Lzeelias, 
including several beautiful white forms of C. Mossi, C. superba 
Ashworthii, a very pretty form allied to C. s. alba but with very light 
blush flowers, and C. xX calummata, some fine masses of Dendrobium 
Bensoniz, D. Dearei and others, some brilliant Masdevallias, Miltonia 
vexillaria, Epidendrum radicans, and various other fine things. The 
second prize went to F. Hardy, Esq., Tyntesfield, Ashton-on-Mersey 
(gr. Mr. Stafford), with another very fine group, including a large Dendrobium 
infundibulum, the new D. Hildebrandii, Sobralia macrantha Kienastiana, 
a tichly-coloured Lelia purpurata Hardyana, L. tenebrosa, some fine 
Anguloa Ruckeri, Cattleya Lawrenceana, some good Odontoglossum 
crispum, and many other elegant things. 
In the corresponding class for nurserymen, Mr. James Cypher, Chelten- 
ham, was first, with a fine group, containing some magnificent varieties of 
Lelia purpurata grown in the best possible manner, plants of estonia 
vexillaria, Dendrobium Phalzenopsis, Epidendrum radicans, E. x O’Brien-
