ORCHIDS AT THE ROYAL HORTICULTURAL 
SOCIETY 
AT the Royal Horticultural Society’s meeting held at the Drill Hall, James 
Street, Westminster, on October 15th, there was a very brilliant display of 
Orchids, the fine old Cattleya labiata, especially, being present in great 
force, and including several fine varieties, to three of which special awards 
were given. 
J. Gurney Fowler, Esq., Glebelands, South Woodford (gr. Mr. Davis), 
staged a very fine group, to which a Silver Flora Medal was awarded. It 
contained a number of Cattleya labiata, a fine Vanda Sanderiana, V. 
coerulea, a noble specimen of Epidendrum Godseffianum, Miltonia 
spectabilis Moreliana, Cypripedium Charlesworthii, and C. Spicerianum, 
and some good Dendrobium Phalznopsis. 
Norman C. Cookson, Esq., Oakwood, . (gr. Mr. Murray), 
received a First-class Certificate for a very fine form of Cattleya labiata 
called C. 1. Cooksoniz, very similar to C. 1. elegans, the lip having a rich 
crimson-purple front lobe with narrow white margin, and the rest of the 
flower white. 
The Right Hon. Lord Rothschild, Tring Park (gr. Mr. Hill), exhibited 
a very remarkable Cirrhopetalum called C. Rothschildianum, allied to C. 
ornatissimum, but larger and with more purple i in the flowers. It received 
a First-class Certificate. : 
W. J. Thompson, Esq., Walton Grange, Stone (gr. Mr. Stevens), sent 
several handsome things, three of which each received an Award of Merit. 
These were Cattleya labiata ccerulea, with a four-flowered spike, the 
segments being very pale lilac, and the front lobe of the lip of a peculiar 
dull violet-purple, almost approaching slaty-blue: another called Thomp- 
son’s variety, with very large and richly-coloured flowers ; and Cypripedium 
Charlesworthii marginatum, a very distinct form, with a nearly white upper 
sepal, suffused with light rose at the base and round the margin. A fine 
Vanda Kimballiana with seven racemes received a Cultural Commendation. 
Cut spikes of Odontoglossum crispum, Pescatorei. and Harryanum, also 
Miltonia Schroederiana and the rare Oncidium onustum, were also shown. 
Walter Cobb, Esq., Dulcote, Tunbridge Wells (gr. Mr. Howes), showed 
a good plant of the rare and handsome natural hybrid, Miltonia X 
Lamarcheana, which received an Award of Merit.
